Nikkah
A mala and jhoomer are accessories that enhance the nikkah look perfectly. Since nikkah outfits are not as heavily embellished as a bridal outfit, a mala has the opportunity to shine and stand out. Paired with a light choker, a mala and jhoomer serve to create a traditional look that suits the demure nikkah bride. A small tikka and arm candy, like a hand harness, can be opted for by brides that want a slightly heavier look.
Mehndi
Mehndi brides are more experimental with their looks. Large statement tikkas and jhumkas are currently trending and since brides can’t opt for such bold looks on their big day, they try to incorporate them into their mehndi look. Heavy mathapattis are also a hot favourite and we like our brides to pair them with either jhumkas or chandbalis depending on what flatters their face cut. Longer jhumkas elongate round faces whereas those with oval/heart shaped faces opt for chandbalis. The nath is another trending accessory thanks to the likes of Deepika Padukone in Padmavat.
Baraat
For their big day, brides usually want to go all out and project their best look. Kundan and polki jewellery is a hot favourite amongst brides that are tired of the same old solid gold sets. We recommend brides to go for a heavy necklace or choker and chuck the mala as those tend to blend into the heavy work on their shirts and end up being a waste of money. Once a necklace or a choker has been selected, we design earrings according to what suits an individual bride’s face cut. A tikka and a jhoomer are staples in a bridal look, however recently trending naths and hand harnesses are also being added to enhance the overall look.
