Pucker'd UP by Pri

A love note...

DIVYA | A little romance, a little MOOD, and a whole lot of elegance.

We created this look earlier this year, but tell me this black and gold isn't PERFECT for fall!

This textured, romantic updo isn't a style I get requested to create very often, so I was especially excited to bring it to life. I was soooo in my head, I forgot to get a good photo!

The soft face-framing pieces, and effortless finish gave us something trendy without sacrificing that timeless bridal vibe.

What do you think? Should we do more of these?!?!

SARAH | Some brides are too special to glam only once.

Just a few weeks ago, we were celebrating her love story in beautiful Barcelona. (This was her Sangeet look).... but tomorrow, we get to do it all over again for her finale church ceremony!

Different city. Different ceremony. Another opportunity to create something special together.

There's something so meaningful about being trusted with multiple chapters of a bride's wedding journey. From understanding her vision to creating a look that feels completely her, every detail matters.

One more bridal morning. One more beautiful memory. And one very special bride.

KISHORI | Her, but make it bridal!

Her only request: “I want to look in the mirror and still see myself.” That’s a request I will happily deliver on every single time.

We love the cute little curls, a signature Kishori vibe! And that braid!!!

I also had a request, though. A Chicago Bears Week 1 WIN. 🐻⬇️

Safe to say… we can do BOTH!! A beautiful bride who still looked like herself + a Bears W? 10/10 Sunday. No notes.

JENNIFER | Some bridal mornings feel a little extra special.

Years ago, we had the pleasure of getting Jennifer’s sister ready for her ceremony... and today, we got to come back for Jennifer's special day!

There’s something incredibly meaningful about being invited back into a family for another milestone.

For Jennifer, we kept everything soft, romantic and timeless. Glowing skin, softly defined eyes, a classic glossy wave and just enough glam to feel elevated without overpowering her.

The kind of bridal look that still feels completely like you.

It was such a beautiful morning celebrating this new beginning, and seeing her completely dressed and glowing made it even sweeter.

Jennifer, congratulations! Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter and a marriage even more beautiful than the day that started it.

PRACHI | Entering her Wife Era!!

One of my favorite parts of a multi-day bridal experience isn't just creating different looks... It's getting to know you.

At her bridal trial, we planned for a minimal, timeless look. She trusted me enough to explore different tones and dimensions for her Mehndi, and with every event, we learned more about what made her feel the most beautiful.

By the reception, there wasn't any second-guessing.

There was trust. We had a tight timeline, and that trust allowed me to work confidently... and as fast as possible.

I knew how she liked her skin to glow, how much definition she loved around her eyes, and the perfect balance that still felt like her.

I believe your bridal experience should be an ongoing conversation, not a one-time appointment.

Your vision deserves to be heard, refined, and brought to life with every event. My goal isn't to make every bride look like my style. It's to create a look that feels authentically you, while offering the guidance and expertise to elevate it.

That's my style. 😉

PRACHI | A look that feels like YOU!

She wanted a look that reflected her personality, so we leaned into soft pinks to complement her natural beauty and bring out that radiant glow.

Something fresh and feminine- true to HER.
