The Proud Heritage of Maharashtrian Bridal Fashion
✦
Marathi weddings are a proud celebration of Maharashtrian heritage, distinguished by the iconic Nauvari (nine-yard) saree draping, exquisite Paithani silks, and the beautiful Mundavalya (pearl head ornament). From the Haldi ceremony with its marigold-infused aesthetics to the sacred Antarpat and Mangalashtak rituals, every Marathi wedding event has a distinct visual identity. Wedding Stylist India specializes in Maharashtrian bridal fashion — from sourcing pure Paithani sarees in Paithan to arranging expert Nauvari draping services.

Expert Advice
Styling Tips for Marathi Weddings
✦
1
Nauvari draping is a specialist skill — book an experienced draper and have at least two practice sessions before the wedding day.
2
Paithani sarees from Paithan and Yeola are the most authentic — we connect you with weavers who use traditional handloom techniques.
3
The Maharashtrian nath (nose ring) is typically larger than other styles — ensure it's comfortable and the chain is properly secured.
4
Mundavalya can be custom-made with pearls, flowers, or gold beads — coordinate with your jewelry for a cohesive look.
5
Green is an auspicious color in Marathi weddings — consider incorporating it into at least one of your wedding outfits.
