After the bride & maid’s trousseau, the most imperative
part of the adornment is “Wedding blings”. Every girl craves to look scintillating on her D-day. From finalizing bridal costume to
jewelry, lots of planning & exploring needs to be done before accentuating the perfect look. Nowadays no girl wishes to adorn
the age old Reds & maroons yesteryear colors but rather opting for pastel
shades from oranges to even blue. The traditional feel is of course present,
but a lot of cross-culture fashion has seeped in. Same goes with Indian wedding
jewelry. Modern bride ensures that her jewelry must complement her outfit
rather than just loading herself with heavy gold ornaments that often end up
looking hideous when teamed with a designer bridal wear.
Indian fat weddings are not generally limited to a day but
it’s an elaborate 2-3 days event with complete traditional rituals.
Consequently outfits & trinkets should be chosen in accordance with
rituals.
Haldi/sangeet/mehndi – These are the most auspicious
& treasured ceremony in a girls wedding. It symbolizes pure, untainted
& bright future for the girl’s new beginnings. To match the internal
thoughts, nothing is better then embellishing “Fresh Flower jewellery”. Floral
jewellery is an upcoming hottest trend which is in fact inspired from our
ancient tradition. One can also use artificial flower as they are much cheaper
then the fresh flowers. They are extremely beautiful to look at & can be
designed to complement the brides outfit.
Wedding – And the D-day. Searching and deciding the
right wedding jewelry complementing your trousseau is a big tiresome job. Certainly
there are lot wedding planners in market which can be at your service with a
click of your finger, but they ridiculously expensive. To overcome your
dilemma, there are few useful tips which should be consider before buying.
- LESS IS MORE. Do not go for the whole bridal set (necklace
wid rani har).They are extremely tacky n out of trend.
-If your bridal wear is bold with heavy embroidery, choose
lighter & impressive necklace jewellery.
-If you are fascinated with head to toe blings, go for
lighter lehanga with pasty colors.
-From gold to diamond to polki to kundan, bridal jewellery
is coming in various metals with cost differentiation.
-KUNDANS jewellery is
most popular among the modern brides. Although every form of Indian jewellery
is in great demand but kundan jewellery has become a prominent style statement
these days. They just not look spectacular but have become the paragon of
royalty.
-To enhance your hands adornment bit more, designer “kaliras”& handlets
are very much in demand.
-“Ghughat” our
classic antique custom is back with a bang.
Sporting a see through dupatta not only is in sync with the latest trends
but also inculcate the Indian spirit. You can even show-off your hair
embellishments with this style.
Customs often changes as the time evolves, but the
association of jewelry and the wedding has an inseparable bond that is very
delicately crafted in the Indian culture from the past thousands of years and
will certainly prosper in the coming years ahead!!
