With WeddingSutra On Location- Manika Verma
WeddingSutra on Location - Sep 30, 2014
As part of our initiative WeddingSutra on Location, we invited four brides-to-be for a unique experience at Satya Paul in Juhu, Mumbai.

Here in the first of the four-part series, bride-to-be Manika Verma blogs about her experience with WeddingSutra on Location at Satya Paul.
“For every bride-to-be looking for information on where to shop or who to get in touch with, the internet is always a great resource, but it throws up such a long list of options that it often leaves her in a dilemma.

Amit was able to strike a balance between the two and made it look easy too. I am not comfortable around cameras, but the duo put me at ease.
The WeddingSutra on Location experience was not only about choosing the right lehenga and posing for the camera, but a tutorial on creating a look that works for me and a perspective from the best talents in the business. We wrapped up by late afternoon and much to my surprise, I still had the energy for office work. Thank you WeddingSutra for this amazing experience!!”
Manika’s Look
Recinda felt that Manika’s simple look and casual style could be transformed to a glamorous one by simply accentuating the eyes. Since Manika had chosen a colorful lehenga, she decided to balance the look with minimal use of color on the face. She began by creating a base with the Lakmé Absolute Mattreal Sk
