Haldi-Mehndi And Sangeet
If there is one thing you need to know about traditional Indian wedding ceremonies is that vibrance and extravagance are the order of the day! Ceremonies often last longer than one day and it is normal to have a number of pre-wedding events leading up to the big day.
Haldi-Mehndi and Sangeet are three Indian wedding functions that are organized one or two days prior to the wedding day.
Usually a day before the wedding, the Haldi is the pre-wedding makeup ritual. It’s the preparation for the bride-to-be to begin her new life with her husband. In this ceremony, the bride-to-be needs to get ready to get the blessings of the elders by applying turmeric and sandalwood paste covering her face, neck, hands and feet. The Haldi and sandalwood have anti-inflammatory effects and loads of prosperity and beauty benefits. This is an initial preparation for your final wedding day ceremony, and that is why you should look your best on this special day as well.
Mehndi is one of the most important pre-wedding ceremonies in any Indian wedding. The couple are joined by their families to get henna tattoos or designs applied to their bodies. This is usually accompanied by live music and dancing in a ceremony that honors love and togetherness.
Sangeet also uses music and dancing as the center-piece of its celebration. It normally takes place two or three days before the ceremony where the bride and groom are joined by their families and closest friends to celebrate the union of the two families- Sangeet often marks the very first time the two families meet, giving them the opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed party environment. The party itself involves choreographed dancing, singing of traditional songs and traditionally the whole ceremony can stretch over a number of days.
The make-up should be kept to a minimum. We recommend using a light tinted moisturizer or a light foundation and sunscreen. Lips to have a natural rose skin look, that can resemble just a hint of color pop. If any eyeshadow will be applied, staying with neutral tones. Keeping in mind that the haldi paste may also be a part of your make-up to be photographed in.
Hair, we recommend a side braid, braided ponytail natural blowout or soft curls/waves that are half-up and will move with movements of the ceremony but not interfere with Haldi paste.
Make-up Festive and fun, this is the perfect time to add color-pop of make-up to match your attire. Fluffy lashes, glowy skin and eye shadows that bring out your jewelry and saree or lehenga. You’ll be photographed, so we will want to make sure your skin looks flawless but not overly done.
Hair – Beautiful movable curls and braided styles. We like adding hair extensions to give the hair volume and fullness. Hair flowers and hair accessories pair well with the boho braided styles. We also may create trendy high pony tail or a glam wave with a middle part, just to give you an elevated glam look if that is your style.

Fusion brides
Fusion weddings have an extra element of beauty to“fuse” two (or more) cultures, traditions and/or religions to create the most memorable wedding day experience.
ECB specializes in fusion bridal hair & make-up, which fuses the best of Western and Indian looks. The process begins with a personal interaction with the bride, thoroughly understanding what she wants. Topics discussed could range from make-up, hair, draping to location and temperature at the venue. Based on the personal preference, the attire and personality of the bride, a make-up inspiration plan is mapped out.
We’re bringing the modern together with the traditional fusion wedding. We feel honored in specializing in both the Western and South Asian Culture and creating the “ECB’s elevated bridal experience.”
