Modern yet traditional look
Stylist Maitri Mody looks beautiful in traditional wear and natural makeup.

Maitri Mody married Manhattan based Kashyap Sheth on 12th December, 2009 at Kohinoor Banquet Hall in Shivaji Park, Mumbai. Maitri who worked as a Stylist for well-known magazines like Brides Now and Beautiful People talks about her wedding day look.

For my morning wedding ceremony I wanted a very traditional look. Being a Gujarati the custom is to wear a white sari with a red border called 'panetar'. There are lots of synthetic imitations available in Mumbai, but mine was from Ahmedabad made with authentic silk. My aunt who is a designer got the embroidery on the panetar done with mirror and thread work. As a custom I had to drape my 'panetar' along with a red 'bandhini' given by my in-laws. It was an interesting drape with both the sarees.

My gold jewelery was made to order from a famous jeweler named 'Dedhia' in Matunga. It included a necklace, earrings, kadas, armlets, maang-tikka, anklet with an attached toe-ring and haath phul. It was very traditional with an antique finish. My hair and makeup was done by my friend Kumar Iyer, a well known makeup artist. It was kept simple with kohl-lined eyes, blush and red lip stain to give a modern yet traditional look. The bindi was traditional and smaller bindi dots dotted my forehead. Hair was a bouffant with traditional gajras. The look was completed with traditional mehndi/henna.

For the evening reception I wore a yellow saree from Benzer, Mumbai.
