For any Pakistani bride, jewellery is an important component that can make or break her look. From diamond to polki to gold heirloom pieces, we give you a breakdown on what to add to your treasure box

Mehndi



We love a simple mehndi bride, and what better way to be one than with flower jewellery. The simpler you look on your mehndi, the more you can shine on your big day. Not only does flower jewellery give the bride a break from the heavy sets she will be adorning on her wedding and post-wedding, but it also makes the right kind of simple statement. From fresh marigold to jasmine flowers decorated with pearls or beads, you can find a variety of ways to get creative with your flower jewellery. Opt for a statement maatha pati and team it with some fabulous flower earrings for a traditional and colourful look.

Baraat



For the baraat, we’re advocates of a traditional bride.  It’s time to bring out the heirlooms and give it a modern twist by teaming it with a few contemporary pieces. Who says you need to stick to just one necklace? Layer them up and add a choker for that extra grand look. Pair up the polki with an heirloom saath lara or a maharaja haar. And if you’re feeling bold enough, opt for a panjangala or gold cuff. After all, it is your wedding day!

Valima



Think understated, think diamonds! Switch around the traditional gold pieces with precious stones for modern day elegance. Opt for a diamond set with pearls, rubies or emeralds to shine bright on your valima. For brides on a budget, you can opt for zircon sets which shine just as bright. Keep it classy and contemporary to be the perfect valima bride.

Trousseau Essentials



More practical, and more versatile is the jewellery that you will continue to wear even after your wedding. A combination of simple earrings, an elegant bracelet and a quirky cocktail ring is what you should aim for. Costume jewellery is easy on the pockets and is super-fashionable too. There’s nothing more we love than a statement-making cocktail ring or some fabulous costume jewellery to enhance your look.
