From your bridal ensemble to make-up and jewellery, it’s a long list to cover all the points perfectly. 

However, in an Indian wedding where tradition plays a huge role in shaping your bridal appearance, bridal jewellery draws as much attention as the bride. And the selection of your wedding jewellery that you would be wearing with your bridal lehenga can make or break your most anticipated look. Therefore, it’s always good to make a proper plan with some clear ideas about what you are looking for, based on which pieces will compliment your bridal attire and highlight your aura, before you go jewellery shopping.

Besides, your wedding jewellery would be a lifetime investment that would pass on to future generations, therefore requiring you to consider manifold factors while buying your bridal pieces. What you may find appealing at first glance may not be an ideal fit for your overall bridal appearance, and you would not want your jewellery to draw all the attention, right? So, we are here to walk you down the aisle of your wedding jewellery shopping with a couple of tips that will help you choose the most unique pieces 

. Let's get started! 

Essential Bridal Jewellery Pieces 

Indian weddings are all about the mingling of grandeur and tradition. When the bride makes her way through the mandap with a grand bridal appearance, complimented with gorgeous jewellery, even the moon envies the bride. The below-mentioned points capture the essential bridal pieces that you need to complete your special look. 

Bangles 

Can you even imagine yourself in a bridal look with empty wrists? Whether they are gold, diamond, or stone studded, bangles are a must for every bride. The sweet tinkering sound that they make absolutely reflects the coyness of the newlywed bride. Gold bangles are timeless for traditional weddings, as they not only adorn your beautiful wrists, but you can also use them for various occasions throughout your life. On the other hand, diamond or glass bangles may fit perfectly if you want to get decked up as a modern minimalist bride, rather than a traditional one.

Earrings 

Your earrings will compliment your stunning bridal makeup. You can pick from a variety of designs, but keep your facial structure in mind while selecting them. If your face is round-shaped, any type of jhumka with minute detailing will go just fine, but if the shape of your face is oval or long, consider choosing longer earrings that would make your face appear fuller. Also, if you are wearing more than one necklace or a heavy neckpiece, keep your earrings as minimal as you can and vice versa. In this way, you can balance both,because too much jewellery is a deal breaker for your wedding ensemble.

Necklace    

A gorgeous necklace will offer you the ultimate touch of majestic glam in your bridal appearance. As an Indian bride, you can never go wrong with gold neckpieces, as they add a traditional touch to your entire look. From chokers to long necklaces, you can easily match a couple of them for your special look. Although gold has always been considered a standard and majestic option for wedding jewellery, and nowadays, modern brides are leaning towards diamond, platinum, Kundan and other colourful stones as well. The best way is to finalise your wedding lehenga first and then choose the pieces of jewellery according to the shade.

Nose Ring 

Without a stunning nose ring, your bridal look is bound to remain incomplete. Nath or nose ring is one of the most unique and eye-catching pieces of Indian wedding jewellery. The Nath offers a majestic aura to the bride and it has a royal history dating back to the Rajasthani and Mughal empires. Nose rings are available in various sizes with simple designs with stones and/or beads, adding an alluring appeal to your bridal look.
