Styling Sakharpuda attire with Tanishq’s jewellery
Most Maharashtrian brides either wear a Paithani silk saree in gold, maroon, or brown undertones. The other choice is the nine-yard Nauvari saree, which has a unique draping style and appears pant-like.
For each of these, some picks from Rivaah by Tanishq are a must to create a traditional look:
- For a stately look, Maharashtrian brides must pair their Sakharpuda outfit with the Stunning 22 Karat Yellow Gold Beaded Multi Strand Haaram. The 22-karat yellow gold haaram features two beaded discs and three strands of etched orbs, making her look like the queen she deserves to be!
- One can also channel a contemporary look with the Crimson Flowers Necklace Set that adds a pop of colour with red enamel. This beautifully contrasts the shimmer of gold in this necklace set.
- An elegant maang tikka is always welcome for the Maharashtrian bride. To ace the Sakharpuda look, she can adorn the Traditional Floral Gold Maang Tikka that shines bright like sunshine. The intricate floral motifs on the piece are a testament to the craftsmanship—a labour of love that’s as precious as her!
- The Sakharpuda look must also include the Traditional Marathi Tode Bangles with nuanced Kolkata work and floral die, and the Traditional Gotak Jhumka earrings with embellished peacock motifs for much-needed opulence on the occasion.
