Marriages are considered a sacred union in Indian tradition. And the brides in these ceremonies are adorned as Goddesses. They are the centre of attraction and tend to be the most vital figure in the entire function. Are you even going to be in that position shortly? Is your big day arriving soon, and you are going bonkers on deciding your attire for the day? Well, for the bridal dress, we are sure you have got your designers at work already and a good balanced diet in place. But yes, we can provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to select the best jewellery for the D day of your life.
There is no rule book claiming that a certain type of ornament is ideal as your bridal jewellery. It stays subjective to you as to what you consider as suitable for yourself and what matches your dressing style, colour and theme. However, certain items are most recommended by experts as they add to the magnificence of your personality on that day and make you look stunning. Get to know about those ornaments below:
The set of Chuda or bangles
You cannot achieve a complete bridal look if you don’t wear the bridal Chuda or a set of bangles. (As per the Indian traditions!) Most of the time, these are in red and golden mixed shades and designs, but you can have one contrasting the colour of your dress as well. These bangles are never less than a dozen and can be as much as three dozens in each hand. So, you can imagine the glamour they add to your bridal attire with their presence.
MaangTika or Maatha Patti
We love how a single ornament positioned on your forehead adds sparks to your bridal attire. Again, bridal jewellery has a special place in the Indian tradition as it’s said to be creating the spiritual union between a bride and the groom. Mostly, these are made of stones and gems and can be found in various colours coordinated with shades of gold and silver. However, you can customise and make them as stylish and splendid as you love according to your bridal attire.
Necklace
Have you ever seen an Indian bride without a heavy neckpiece? It is the most essential part of her bridal jewellery and makes her look completely divine and stunning. Most brides prefer large pieces of necklace on their bridal attire, but the main lead here is the appealing design you choose. You can either go for colourful stones, traditional gold or silver-toned or simply a diamond necklace over your bridal dress to complete the effect.
Nose ring or Nath
A Nath is again something that you see only in Indian weddings. The brides complete their bridal look by wearing this hoop on their nose that can be simple as they like or as decorative as they feel. Don’t worry if you don’t have that hole pierced in your nose, you can still get this look by the clipped nose rings available in the market.
Earrings
Earrings are every woman’s favourite piece of ornament. And as bridal jewellery, its significance increases. Usually, the bridal attire calls for heavy Jhumkas and designer earrings matching the dress. However, you have the choice to pick the design and style that appeals to you the most.
There are more pieces of jewellery that an Indian bride adds to her big day attire. It can be a Kamarband or a waistband, toe and finger rings and even anklets and armbands or Baju Band. Basically, we Indians love jewellery and find it an exciting part of our tradition. So, as a bride, you get to enjoy wearing many of these together to make you look exquisite and elegant.
