Want to go on the lesser explored ways at your wedding? Look absolutely stunning and different with a mathapatti or headpiece. A transformed way to look different from the usual maangtika can be earned from this mathapatti. Check out nawabi style half maathapatti or an oversized maangtika. These can make a style statement difficult to ignore or forget and add an air of elegance and whimsical charm to any bride’s glory.

Earrings are an inseparable part of the bridal decoration. While there is a tendency to buy matching earrings with the neckpiece, leading makeup artists and designers suggest going by the hairstyle and then buy the earrings. So when you are on earring shopping decide your hairstyle first and then spend on it.

A nathani or nose ring can escalate your whole look from plain to gorgeous. While a nose ring is of round shape, one should check if it would go with the shape of the face. On the other hand, the nathani is a compact and tiny piece of jewellery which almost every Indian bride can sport as they wish. So make a wise decision.

Pro tip: a nose ring looks very traditional and ideal for the wedding day. You can always ask your mother to utilize her nose ring to give a classic look!

• Bangles can be the show stealer of your d- day. Remember how much you liked the tingling sound of your mother’s bangles. Now you have the permission to show off all those noise and styles, with grace.
• Bangles are available in a variety of designs. Choose the one suit you the best. There are many families that do not encourage fashion jewellery on the marriage day. So don’t experiment there, just go with the traditional gold, diamond and kundan Save all the experiment for the reception day.
• Wear a bunch of bangles with attached finger rings in both hands or in one hand- as you want to style up.

We cannot complete the talk by simply ending it in bangles and not including finger rings and anklets in the list. Both of these are used as traditional Indian jewellery for thousands of years now. Finger rings and ankles come as a set with the bangles. But one can buy and wear fingers rings of individual choice. Stone studded finger rings go pretty well with bridal attire. However, these cannot be worn daily.

 

Here are some tips for selecting jewellery on your wedding:

Your pieces of jewellery should match your wedding occasions. Indian weddings have many functions. No all type of jewellery would go with all the occasions. Keep the heavy ones for the main marriage ceremony, and opt for lighter jewellery sets, even flower pieces of jewellery for the rest of the occasions.

• When in doubt, go for pearl. You can never go wrong with pearl jewellery. It’s traditional as well as smart and chic. No matter what is your dress material is, or how you have styled your hair, pearl will escalate your style quotient instantly.

Don’t want to spend much on your jewellery? Buy detachable pieces of jewellery. When you want to wear sleek pieces, remove the attachments. If you want to wear it as a whole, you are welcome to that as well.

Wear single colour pieces of jewellery. Don’t mix gold, diamond, silver and platinum. It would look messy. A bride is beautiful when adorned in traditional pieces, but multi coloured pieces of jewellery can remove all the attention from the bride.

Slimmer waistbands’ would cover up the extra belly fat, secret!

Apart from considering these tips when getting wedding ready, don’t forget to keep comfort quotient in mind. If you wear attires and pieces of jewellery which are uncomfortable and painful to wear for a long time, we would suggest dropping the idea. After all, it’s your inner beauty that would let you shine, not the pieces of jewellery.
