Indian weddings are all about big fat celebrations. There’s so much colour and camaraderie, with friends and family of the bride and groom partaking in every ritual.
The excitement around what the couple would wear to their wedding is also real. Brides, in particular, dress up in traditional ensembles like sarees or lehengas, pairing it with the most exquisite Indian wedding jewellery.
The jewellery of the bride goes beyond physical beauty. On most occasions, it carries sentimental value, with heirlooms being passed down generations. Even otherwise, the wedding is one of the most significant events in the woman’s life, which is why she pays extra attention to the pieces she opts for.
While gold has been the traditional choice for Indian wedding jewellery, several modern brides are also choosing diamond jewellery sets for weddings for a long-lasting sparkle.
Essential Indian Bridal
Jewellery Pieces
If you are a bride-to-be, these are some of the most integral pieces that must be a part of your big day:
Anklets:
Known as payal, this piece of Indian wedding jewellery is worn on the ankle, often paired with toe rings.
Bangles:
Often, bangles are a part of the bridal look. These could be crafted from gold or diamond-studded–the choice is hers. Punjabi brides, in particular, wear choora, a set of 21 red and ivory bangles that she can’t remove for 40 days after the wedding.
Earrings:
This piece of Indian wedding jewellery is a must for all brides. After all, it adds so much grace and elegance to her look. She could opt for intricate jhumkas or go for something more contemporary, either in diamond or gold. There are plenty of earrings for Indian weddings available today.
Rings:
Yet again, rings add so much meaning to the bridal look. Often, diamond wedding bands for women today either come with a solitaire or are embellished with coloured stones. She can decide what works best!
Maang tikka:
One of the most elegant elements of Indian wedding jewellery, the maang tikka is centred on a woman’s forehead at the part of her hair. Usually, women choose a maang tikka that complements the necklace and earrings.
Necklace:
A bride can elevate her look instantly with necklaces. It could be a choker or a multiple stringed piece encrusted with diamonds, kundan or colourful accents.
Nose ring:
Also called the nath, it adds a touch of femininity to the look of the bride. With a rich history dating back to the Mughals, nose rings carry with them a piece of antiquity that’s hard to ignore. It is available in a range of sizes.
Waistband:
The waistband or kamarband wasn’t seen as part of bridal ensembles for a while. But now they are back in vogue. Worn around the torso, the waistbands come in chunky patterns or appear slim and delicate. Brides can choose the style based on their unique body shape and outfit!
