Maang Tikkas For Your Bridal Charm!
Indian brides love to wear a lot of jewelry. There are many types of jewelry to enhance the bridal look. Maang tikkas are also an important part of this bridal jewelry.
In one of our earlier articles, we have given you a glimpse of the various kinds of bridal jewelry available. But here we would help you to pick one according to your face shape.
A tikka also represents the union of two individuals through marriage. It usually covers the forehead where the ' chakra' is located.
Though it is said that you should select the tikkas according to the color of the dress, it is also important to pick one which suits your face shape. You don't want to look odd on your wedding day with a wrongly selected one.
The first step is to determine the shape of your face; for that stand before a mirror pull your hair back of your face and with a color pencil or a marker (not the permanent one) trace the outline of your face on the mirror. The shape you have drawn on the mirror will be your face shape.
As we have decided upon the face shape let us discuss the perfect tikka according to your face shape.
Oval
It is the most symmetrical face shape and is considered the most versatile and proportionate of all shapes. Any shape and size of tikka will go perfectly with an oval shape, So you could pick anything you want. But don't add extra length to your face by wearing an extremely long tikka.
Round
You could make your round face a little longer with a perfectly selected tikka. To lengthen the face, find one which is less detailed, thin and long. Pick a tikka which is longer in style with a pendant which is more oval or in a rectangular shape. Don't wear a tikka with a round or circular shaped pendant. Though the single stranded tikka may look very basic, it will look great on round faces.
If you don't want the basic looking long simple pendant type tikkas then you could opt for a jhoomar or passa. They are the traditional tikkas worn by a Muslim bride. They will help to create the illusion of length to your face.
Heart-shape
Your chin will be narrower than the rest of the face, the pointed chin and forehead. The crescent style or large pendant type tikkas would look best on you. It will add more length to your face. The multi-layer type will also look great on you.
Rectangular
They are about longer than they are wide. You could wear tikkas with large round pendants. Avoid those which have rectangular or square shaped pendants. Large layered types will look great on you. You could wear the large wide (South Indian type) tikkas.

Wedding Shoe!
Wedding shopping is an interesting thing to do. You are picking things for an important day of your life and it is nothing like your usual shopping. You need to be very careful while picking your dress and other accessories. It is not just that the limelight will be on you on your wedding day, but the day will be as long as the ceremony and the reception could take hours.
So you should select things that are totally comfortable for you. Wedding shoes/footwear is an important accessory that could highlight your bridal look.
While you select a wedding shoe don't just go after the style quotient over comfort. You may have fallen in love with a pair of heels that have many alluring little straps but remember you need to wear it for long hours.
You should be totally comfortable in the footwear you have picked as mentioned earlier you will be on your legs for hours on your wedding day. You will be walking down the aisle or standing hours for the ceremony, posing for pictures, greeting guests and dancing at your reception on your big day. That is why we tell you to pick footwear which never makes you regret your decision.
But choosing comfort over style doesn't mean that you have to compromise totally on style. You should actually combine classic style with your comfort quotient.
The brides you are not usually used to wearing high heels shouldn't wear one on their wedding day. Ladies, it is not easy to maintain your posture on high heels. If you are not used to wearing it then totally forfeit the idea of high heels on the wedding day. So think twice before picking one such skyscraper.
Another important thing to remember is not to wear your new pair of footwear for the first time on your wedding day. Wear them around your house a week or two before the wedding to get them worn in a bit. It would help to ease the pressure on your legs it may cause.
Also, make sure that the stone and other embellishments on your shoe don't damage the hem of your dress.
Don't buy a pair of footwear just because it is the most expensive or the beautiful one in the shop. What if it looks like an eyesore with your bridal wear. Try to get that goes well with your wedding dress.

Trends In Bridesmaid!
Choosing the bridesmaid dresses is an uphill task. You will have to satisfy a group of women whose choices and tastes hardly match.
Nowadays, bridesmaids have become an important part of Indian weddings, irrespective of religion and region. Unlike the old times, the present day bridesmaids also want to look great as the bride so, no more tacky dresses.
Unlike the West, the Indian bridesmaids' choice is not limited to gowns; they can wear sarees, salwar, skirts, anarkalies or lehengas.
You can match the bridesmaids' dress with the bridal saree or lehenga. So if you are wearing a red lehenga or saree, then select another shade of red or pink for your bridesmaids' outfit. It is better not to get the bridesmaids' dress in the exact same colour of the bridal outfit.
You can also select bridesmaids' dress in contrasting hues than that of the bridal outfit. A bright bridal saree or lehenga will look great among neutral looking bridesmaid’s dresses. Or pair it the other way - a pale bridal outfit and vibrant looking bridesmaid’s dresses.
You know, there is no rule like the bridesmaids should always follow the monochrome colour pattern. Select a couple of colours that would complement each other and make the group of ladies follow these colour patterns.
Wedding Photobooth!
Photo booths at the wedding venue may be a novel idea for the Kerala audience, but it is a good concept to add some fun elements to your wedding.
Your guests can pose at these booths with fun props and the pictures could be epic.
You can either go for a DIY method or ask a professional photographer to help you set a photo booth at your wedding venue.
All you need are a perfect backdrop to the spectacular pictures, a camera (preferably a DSLR), tripod and a camera shutter release remote. You should either find a volunteer to take the photos or give the remote to the guests so that they themselves could take the pictures.
First, find a spot which gets the perfect amount of natural light (if it is an evening function use proper lights). Before inviting guests to the booth you yourself (we didn't mean the bride and groom you will be obviously busy in the preparations, get a cousin or friend for the job) should try it to understand the light.
Now create a perfect background for the pictures. It could be a simple but beautiful curtain or a collage of colourful dupattas or sarees, paper décor, ribbons etc… over a rode or it could even be an artistically decorated wall of flowers. You can also set or hang frames around the booth.
Now set the camera on a tripod. As mentioned earlier check the camera angles before the guests arrive.
No photo booth is complete without the fun crazy props. You can use sparkly hats, oversized retro eyeglasses, masks, funny plastic lips, moustaches on sticks, foam fingers etc...
Voila, your photo booth is ready for action. Here are some pictures to inspire you. Enjoy...

Trendy Mandaps For Your D-Day!
Indian weddings are rich in traditional affairs. Each and every element in the wedding has a specific meaning and importance. Wedding mandap is an important part of Hindu weddings. Even though some couple tie the knot at a temple the rest of the rituals are conducted in a mandap.
As it is the place where two individuals commence their journey of life together, it is given high importance and is decorated with care and pomp.
Though weddings are held under these decorated mandaps there are no specific rules decorating them. As India is a land of diversity and colour, people love to incorporate these colours into their wedding venue decorations too. With great imagination and skill, you could create a magical charm to your wedding. Here are some of the beautiful wedding mandap decoration ideas that we came across the internet. Get inspired...
Floral
Flowers are the most used and most popular element to decorate a wedding mandap. Flowers and love have a long and deep connection. Love is like a beautiful flower whose fragrance makes the garden (real life) a place of delight.
Vintage
If you think flowers are overrated then why not bring back the old world charm of going vintage. Decorate your mandap in the 80's style gold and white papers. But remember to send those papers to a recycling unit after use.
Minimal style
You could use clothes and curtains to decorate the mandap. They are charming at the same time simple with no over the top decorations, but you need to add a more dramatic effect to it then hang some fairy lights, bangles, kalires, chandeliers, lanterns etc...
Over the top
Well, the sky is the limit while you think about decorating the mandap. If you have the means then why not recreate royal mahals or temple structures to get married in.
Wedding Gown!
Earlier, an Indian bride’s only choice for their wedding was saree. But today wedding gowns are also being preferred by the brides. Now, most of the Christian brides wear gowns, and the most interesting fact is that even non-Christians also wear gowns during the wedding celebrations.
The gown trend was prevalent in Goa for many years, especially due to the area’s Western influence. But for Kerala-based Christian brides gowns are slowly becoming a style statement. Many consider the gorgeous gowns have an alluring beauty of its own, even though many call it a Western fixation.
Nowadays, Hindu as well as Muslim brides wear gowns of pastel shades like off white and subtle gold for their engagements and receptions. According to Muslim tradition, gowns are acceptable with a veil or a shawl, so Muslim brides wear brightly coloured gowns for mehendi functions.
The price of a wedding gown varies from Rs 4,000 to 1 lakh! For uniqueness in designs and sizes, many people opt for customised gowns from designers.
Usually materials used for gowns like Italian Chantilly, Thai silks, Dutchess satin etc are imported.
Gowns with Indian embellishments like embroiders are in great demand as they offer a fusion style. For hi-end weddings, gowns embellished with Swarovski crystals too are used. Many still prefer conventional styles in wedding gowns and among the various designs; A-Line gowns are the most popular. But NRIs and those who are into cross-cultural marriages prefer off shoulders, spaghetti straps, low backs etc.
Gowns with flairs and those with a mermaid line accentuate femininity. A personalised styling from a designer can highlight the figure or can hide any unseemly bulge with innovative draping techniques. And if non Christians think a white gown is odd, jazz it up with traditional embroidery patterns and motifs. So go ahead and be the show stopper at your own wedding donning a gorgeous gown. No doubt, gowns are going to be the most stylish statement you can ever make on your special day.

Bridal Ornaments!
What better time to celebrate jewellery in all its glory than our most special and awaited moment? Be it sparkling diamond jewellery, eternal gold jewellery or traditional jewellery, weddings are the times when all inhibitions can afford to take a hike as there is no fixed mantra that people are willing to follow during this time.
Since last few years, weddings in India had gone through dramatic changes. The most visible change is on the jewellery worn. With the availability of ornaments in a mind-boggling range of patterns and designs, people seem to have accepted it with open hands, whether it is crystal, gold, diamond, antique or fine jewellery.
Costume jewellery: Costume jewellery is a perfect match for all bridal wears. Just one or two precious jewellery pieces will do great work with wedding trousseau. Bold and big jewellery sets and separates like rings, earrings, and bangles are in vogue.
Antique jewellery: Sets that are chunky and ethnic are still going strong in demands. The patterns differ from state to states like meenakari, kundan or jadau set.
Crystal Jewellery– Crystals, especially Swarovski gives a classy and elegant appearance. Clear crystals accentuate dark coloured clothes. The latest is wearing a fabulous necklace of glittering rainbow Swarovski crystals. A big finger ring or brooch with unique motifs laid with stones is sure to add an ethereal touch to your ensemble. There are micro stone set bangles to spruce up your plain gold bangles.
Coloured glory: Colored stones, beads, and enamelling are still trendy, so make sure that you own one. It can be a turquoise, blue sapphire or topaz, a dash of amethyst. These will definitely go wonderfully well with antique jewellery sets.
Diamond Jewellery: Diamonds are said to be “girl’s best friend”. The sparkling diamonds lends a magnificent sheen to your ornaments and goes well with almost all attires. From studded rings and bracelets to chunky pendants and chocker sets, there are even heavy diamond jewellery pieces for formal occasions.
Platinum Jewellery: Platinum is slowly getting popular in India, but still perceived as expensive by consumers. Pendants and rings of platinum are the most moving items.
Once you are done with jewellery, it’s time to pick some accessories for your hair that’s matching the colours and materials of your attire.
Jewellers
Gold Jewellers: Indians are fond of the yellow metal and no wonder, the gold jewellery industry is a shining star in the country’s economy. The concept of brands has been taken in case of jewellery too in India. De Beers was the first branded jewellery in India, but now there are lot many players and several new entrants keep coming in offering innovative designs and fresh ideas.
The premium jewellery brands in India include Asmi, Tanishq, Eros, Signature, Nakshatra, Gili, Agni, Aura and more. Besides these, each Indian states has its own traditional trusted brands which have been in the industry for generations.
Platinum Jewellers: Only selective jewellers in India are dealing with platinum. The Platinum Guild International has a presence in India and has some authorised jewellers in India. You can check up their website to know the list of authorised jewellers. Apart from this, every platinum product has to be authenticated by a third-party certification issued by the Underwriters Laboratories, popularly known as the UL Card.
Platinum can be exchanged only from the same store or brand from which you originally bought it. Also, on exchange one will get only 85% of the value.
Diamond Dealers
Diamonds being slowly and steadily walking into the lifestyle of Indians, there are several brands in India now like Gili, Nakshatra, TBZ, and Sunny. Diamonds are assessed by the 4 Cs- Cut, Colour, Clarity, and carat. These 4 things determine the quality and price of a diamond. VVS or SI clarity diamonds are the most popular diamonds in jewellery making.
Buy diamonds that are certified by international laboratories like International Gemological Institute (IGI) or Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Many jewellers offer their own certification, but a certified diamond is preferred. If you are exchanging diamonds, do note that most brands and big stores take only the diamonds sold by them. Small jewellers may take diamonds sold by others but the value will be discounted up to 60%.
Ornament Designers
Ornament designing is a traditional concept in India, where gold workers crafted designs according to orders and as per the desire of customers. But today also ornament designers are in great demand for customized needs. Ornament designers now have taken new forms from designers of big brands and celebrities to private players. The craftsmanship of Indian jewellery designers is always looked upon as imperial. In recent years, a new crop of jewellery designers has caught the attention of fashion lovers.
Perfect Gown For Your D-Day!
If you are a bride it is your right to outshine everyone on the big day of your life. For that, you should select your wedding dress with expertise and finesse. Saree has been the safest pick for Indian brides for decades. But now you have the freedom to wear any attire you are comfortable with on your wedding day.
Hindu brides are still following the tradition of wearing the six-yard to tie the knot. But if you are a Christian bride you can be the star of the day like a fairytale princess in your wedding gown. So if you have decided to wear a gown on your big day you need to take care of some tips before zeroing in on the dress.
You have to select a gown according to your body type. People have different body types so don’t go for a particular gown just because someone else looks good in it. Know your body, talk to an expert and then only decide your dress.
Here are some tips which could help you in finding your dream dress.
For hourglass figure
Take advantage of your proportioned curves. You can go for a mermaid or a trumpet gown which would highlight your curves.
For tall brides
You are blessed with height so you can actually go for the fairytale type ball gowns. A ball gown will have a fitted bodice with a full, bell-shaped, floor-length skirt. You can also add a long veil to your look. You will also look good in mermaid gowns because of your height. But avoid high updos because it will add more height.
For short brides
If you are short and petite empire line would help you to cover the problem areas. The waistline starts just below the bust and the rest of the dress flows down to the hem. This gown could also help to minimize large bust due to the traditionally square neckline of the dress. But avoid horizontal patterns.
For that pear-shaped body
Choose a floor-length skirt that flares out in an A from your natural waist. It would help you to cover big hips and thighs. A V neckline will also help you to balance the upper portion.
For apple shape
Your weight is mainly around the waist so choose A-line gowns which would highlight your waist. A ribbon around the waist or a corset could add the illusion of a waistline. A V-neck is also a good option.
For busty woman
A scooped neckline would take the focus away from your chest. You should avoid materials such as silk, satin, and organza. Balance your top with a full skirt.
For those box-shaped women
You should go for a dress which could create an illusion of curves. You need to add volume so look for a ball gown with a full skirt that would cling to your natural waist. It could hide your lack of curves.

Wedding can put a little stress on both the bride and the groom. As the day approaches you may lose sleep, eat less or start binge eating, you may suffer from sudden acne breakout etc... Don't worry it’s because you are stressed and your body is reacting to it.
We know that the wedding needs a lot of planning, but don't wear yourself out with all the preparations. You can't be physically present at each and everywhere to organise the wedding. Share the burden with your family or close friends you trust the most. Ask for a little help from your family to create a budget list and checklist.
Some brides and grooms have a tendency to get involved in new stress buster routines. It could, in turn, be physically and mentally exhausting. So don't try out a new diet, yoga or exercise regimens if you are on a short notice. Follow those things which you have been following to relax. You are licensed to experiment if your wedding day is not that close. Sometimes a heart to heart with your best friend could be your stress buster. Practicing meditation is also good for your mental health.
Keep yourself dehydrated. It is a real must, water would not just act as a stress relief it will also help your skin to attain a certain glow. Add lots of liquid food and fruits to your diet. Eat healthy. As we said don't try any crash diet just days before your wedding. But try to keep away from sweet and oily food. And don't worry much about weight; try to accept yourself as you are.
Eat and keep yourself dehydrated especially on your wedding day. Not eating is the worst thing you could do to yourself on your wedding day. Hello, do you want to end up nauseous and dizzy on your own big day? Keeping your body healthy will, in turn, help you to feel relaxed.
Keep yourself surrounded by your loved ones and friends. It is really good for your mental health. If you have time go for a relaxing massage. Go for long walks.
Switch off your phone at night and stop the habit of watching TV in bed. Get sufficient sleep. Get rest for at least 8 hours every day. This will definitely relax your body and mind.
Follow these simple steps and stay positive. Trust us your wedding day will sail really smoothly and will be the best day of your life.

Trendy Bridal Costume!
Bridal fashion is being updated every year. The latest trend in the bridal gowns is the cape gowns and the body veils.
The trends which made its debut on the catwalks were later made popular by the celebrities who promoted this chic trend while walking the red carpets. Remember Oscar winner Lupita Nyong at the 2014 Golden Globes or Gwyneth Paltrow walking the 2012 Oscar red carpet in a cream Tom Ford creation?
Now, it has been embraced by many fashion-conscious brides. Singer Solange Knowles was one of the first brides who adopted this look for her wedding. She looked gorgeous in a stunning Humberto Leon for Kenzo floor-length gown.
The secret to nailing this look is finding the appropriate cape length according to your figure. You could definitely look sleek and sophisticated in a shoulder-covering cape dress that would also give you a sense of supergirl feeling.
Another major trend among the brides is the introduction of the body veils. They are a blessing for those unconventional brides who don’t want to wear a traditional veil. They will be attached to the back of your gown and will be more like a cathedral veil.
Here are some awesome cape gowns and body veils for the fashionable brides.
Wedding jewellery is also an important part of a bride's trousseau. There is a wide variety of jewellery available for a bride.
Though most of us consider our body type while buying a dress, we hardly think about the body when we select the jewellery.
Yes, selection of jewellery, especially the bridal jewellery, also should be based on the body type of the bride. Don't worry if you are unaware of this rule, we are here to help you select jewellery.
Follow these simple rules while selecting jewellery.
The right piece of jewellery will enhance your face and would bring out your best features.
If you have a small frame then wearing statement necklaces will overshadow your petite figure. For such body types small longer necklaces will be a better option as it would add length to the small frame if it is worn below the bust but above the waist.
Those with thick necks should also avoid wearing large chokers; it would make you look heavier.
The choker necklaces will suit those who have a long frame and a slim figure. The choker will sit perfectly on your long lean neck. These body types could also wear chokers that are adorned with big pearls and gemstones.
The long chain type necklaces will also add length to square or round faces.
Those who come under the average height and weight category and have oval faces can have any length of necklaces. Those who have round face should pick a long necklace with a pendant this will create a slimming illusion.
It is not just the necklaces or chains that need to be selected according to the body type earring selection also need the same attention.
Long chandelier type earrings will look good on tall women who also have a great jawline. Otherwise, the big earrings will add more layers to your not that visible jawline. But don't worry those with full figure should wear earrings that have sharp angles.
The petite women should stay away from big types of earrings and they would look good in small pieces of jewellery. Hoop types and wide type earrings will suit those with a very thin face or rectangular face shapes.
Another important factor is that those with thicker wrists should stay away from wide bangles, delicate and thin bands are best suited for them. And those with thin wrists should wear something that doesn't look like they are dangling from their hands.
Weddings are special occasions and all of us want to look good while attending a wedding. Ther are no rules that only the bride and the groom should look good. Even if you are not part of the bridal gang (the sister, bridesmaids, and cousins group) you should look pleasant and good while attending a wedding. The only rule here is not to upstage the bride; after all, it is her big day.
Even if you are a wedding guest you need to look good. Good clothes and apt makeup could give you the perfect look. So put in a little effort to get the perfect makeup. Don't worry if you are not an expert on the subject of makeup. We would help you to get the perfect wedding guest make up.
Start with skin care. Make sure that your skin is perfectly clean before you apply the makeup. Moisturise it well using your regular brand. Let it settle for about 15 minutes.
Now apply the primer; it will act as a barrier between your skin and the foundation and it will also help the foundation last longer.
Apply foundation now. Select a foundation with the matte finish; it will help you from tweaking the makeup in between the wedding celebrations. Another important thing to do is to set the foundation with some loose powder to make your foundation stay long.
Now move on to highlight your eyes. We will start with eyeshadow. One big mistake people make is trying to match the colour of your eyeshadows with your dress colour. Ladies we tell you there are no such rules and as you are a wedding guest you don't have to attract all (wrong) attention to you by going for the dramatic colours. Select colours like beige, rose, light pink or blue (lighter versions). Apply darker shade on your crease (it will help to define the eye shape)
Start from the outer corner of the eye and blend it halfway through the eyelid. Apply lighter shades at the brow bone to highlight the eyes; it will help to soften the look.
Use a kohl pencil to frame the eyes. Don't use it inside the linings of your eyes. It will give you and older look. Apply it on the lower lashes and smudge it properly to get a smokey look. Next line your eyes on top using a liquid liner or eye pencil. If you are going for an ethnic look then give it a winged look.
Next add volume to your top eyelashes with one or two coats of mascara.
If you are going for a completely smokey eye look then it is better to keep your lips in nude tones. As we are keeping the eyes soft you could apply darker shades on your lips. After you put your lip colour apply a transparent lip gloss to get the fuller lips look.
If you are interested then add a little touch of colour to your cheeks. Use a light colour blush and apply it from the centre of the cheekbones to the temple area.
Follow these minimal makeup hacks to be a beautiful wedding guest.

Top Five Bridal Mistakes That You Need To Take Care!
Have ever wondered 'OMG! Why did they look so bad in their wedding picture?', looking at any of your cousins, friends or your own parent's wedding albums? I know, sometimes in an effort to make the wedding picture perfect, you might end up making big blunders in the case of makeup. We, here have put together all the common bridal mistakes we all make so that you be aware of it and not make that mistake again taking care of it properly.
Mistake 1: Ayyo! I haven't taken my lipstick.
The wedding is a ceremony of long hours, continuous greetings, and zillion smiles which mean it's going to be a very tiring one. You, being the bride and centre of attraction need to be picture perfect and presentable all the time. For that, you need touch ups from time to time. Though you apply 12 hours or 24 hours decking items (they don't actually exist) and your make up artist would also say that the makeup will last for the whole day but it wouldn't even last for the evening. It usually loses the patina soon. So it's always good to carry a little blush and lipstick to save you from the washed away look in the photographs. Ask your bridesmaid to be a good one and carry those around you for an emergency. The emergency bridal beauty makeup kit is mandatory
Mistake 2: I cannot carry this on my head!
Those girls who cannot do the extreme updo's, french braid, puffy curls or the side wept hair then it would be better you don't do it because anything you are not comfortable shouldn't be tried on your wedding day. You can opt for these hairstyles. It's common that to look as desired, brides tend to overlook the discomfortthat particular hairstyle brings in. Do tell your hair artist to use minimal pins, sprays and gel that keeps the hair in place which can make you extremely strenuous. If you want to have fun at your wedding, choose a stylish but comfortable hairstyle.
Mistake 3: I look like a Zombie.
Sentimental person? Then you would surely cry at your wedding. Weddings are an emotional affair, and I am pretty sure teardrops would roll down your eyes and cheeks. But don’t let them play a spoilsport. Always wear waterproof Kajal and makeup. Make a good investment in your makeup items which are water-resistant no matter what brand you choose, be it the foundation, concealer, eyeliner or mascara. Always keep wet tissues and blotting paper as a precaution because you never know when the emergency outburst happens.
Mistake 4: 6 inches are a pain to us!
Never wear heels unless you are used to wearing it. Just because a heel would make you look tall and give you good shapes, you shouldn't wear it. I accept the fact that a glittering golden pair of heels is almost a vital part of an Indian bride but you should also know that long hours of the wedding can be hard on you. Opt for a heel that would be more comfortable and would look good on you. Don't forget to keep a pair of flats as an alternative. Your lehenga will for sure hide your legs for some time. If you have any plans to get on the dance floor then this tip is going to be a bit helpful for you. At the end of the day, you don't have to search for band-aids and cotton.
Mistake 5: Redness and patchy skin… Why??
You wish to look fresh and radiant on the D day, I know because it's every brides wish! But remeber if you go to salons at the last-minute makeovers such as cleansings, facials and clean ups just before the marriage then I would say a big NO to that. Your skin gets too sensative after all the chemicals and massages and soon after that if you deck yourself with heavy makeup will leave your skin get patchy and irritated. You would have heard and it's a well known fact that the glow of such salon treatments comes only after two to three days therefore it's always better if you do facials and cleansing 3-5 days prior to your wedding day and not hurry burry the day before.
Gold Jewellery: Trends and Traditions
Gold, since ages, has been Indian women’s most prized possession, something that has been passed down from generation to generation. Whenever we think of a bride, the image that comes to our mind is a bride clad in gold. A quintessential Indian bride is one wearing a gold ‘ranihaar’, choker, a nose ring, bangles, jhimkis and other ornaments in gold.
Gold is an indispensable part of a bridal ensemble, with changes that have taken place only in designs. Gold jewellery makes a women sparkle on the most special day of her life, instantly transforming her to someone sensuous like a queen.
Let’s delve deep into the never-ending fascination of Indian brides for this precious metal. Traditionally, gold was considered auspicious for a bride, not only because of its purity but also as a mark of Goddess Lakshmi, a sign that the new bride would bring a lot of wealth, prosperity and happiness in her husband’s home. Brides don gold jewellery according to different traditions to which they belong to; some like it simple, while some are rather ostentatious in their display of jewellery. It also depends on the bride’s own tastes now, but howsoever modern the bride may be, every girl wants to look her traditional best at the day of her wedding.
Now a day brides and grooms have a say in decision making and when it comes to their wedding, they are becoming more practical and not buying gold for the heck of it. They would rather wear designer jewellery, or rather something that is custom-made. But all that without a dash of tradition would look incomplete. Even youngsters are highly conscious of this fact.
From plan, traditional gold jewellery in enamel work, it has seen itself evolve in numerous ways. Whether its ethnic jadau and kundan work on gold jewellery or gold with uncut, single-cut or rose cut diamonds, which possess the yellow sheen same as that of gold, gold has come a long way. There has also been an increasing demand for white gold, black gold, yellow gold or even a mix of two or more of these. The lightweight gold jewellery in contemporary, as well as Italian designs in pink, yellow and green gold, are now available in the Indian market.
All across India, a specific flavour of ancestral gold jewellery prevails as each region has its own craftsmanship. So when you go to Jaipur, there has always been jaadu and kundan, which exists in particular hues and enamelled with a distinct flavor. But today’s jaadu and kundan jewellery have been made contemporary that can go with both an ethnic saree and a western gown.
Similarly, for the temple jewellery in South India, the motifs of mounds and domes which have been evolved into oxidised gold jewellery in the contemporary format which can be carried off for events like pooja or a wedding.
Kolkatta has a particular flavour and so does Gujarat and Rajkot which has a certain touch that defines its uniqueness. Different elements like rava, veni, jaadu, kundan, stamp work, filigree etc give an idea as to how the preferences differ with respect to different regions.
Not only the make but the difference and the preference in different parts of India is as different as chalk and cheese. However, modern and fashionable the bride may aspire to become, she would always want to go back to her cultural roots and look like a beautiful, demure bride.
In Northern states like Rajasthan and Gujarat, brides would want to indulge in gold jewellery with gold ‘baju-bandhs’, ‘maangtikas’, in ‘meenakari’ and ‘kundan’ designs and coloured stone setting designs in and around Punjab. South Indian brides like to wear gold hair ornaments on their plait, which goes all the way down to the knees, or kamarbandhs called ‘odiyanam’, the ‘manga mala’, ‘vanki (armlets), and kammal (big earrings), especially in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Mayur and golap designs in beaten gold are a hot favourite in Bengal while in Maharashtra it is gold jewellery with a paisley motif.
Apart from these, trendy cuffs, cocktail rings, precious stone studded cuffs and diamond bangles in the gold base are in vogue. Gold jewellery is also mixed and matched and designed in various styles comprising of dazzling uncut diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pearls in fine enamel work to keep up with the demands of a modern bride. Bold pieces with a retro-cum-antique design are also very hot.
Heritage ethnic jewellery plays a vital role in influencing designs. Ancient pieces like haathphools, maangtikas, jadu worked kadas, mangalsutras, the kalgis (sarpech) and heavy neck pieces made in traditional gold designs are making a huge comeback. Designs transform according to trends, but there has been a re-emergence in terms of traditional styles and designs. Transforms have happened in weight terms also. Old designs in lightweight are affordable and therefore very much in demand.
Whatever be the demands, jewellery inspired from Indian culture and traditions will always be in fashion. The best part about gold jewellery is that it goes with all attire. If the dress is with yellow embroidery, then traditional gold goes well with it. If the dress consists of silver ember, then white gold or platinum compliments with it. If on the other hand, the outfit is western, then gold jewellery with fusion designs can be worn.
So whether it is a party or a pooja, a girl is dark skinned or pale, fat or thin, gold apart from diamonds has and always will be women’s best friend.

Perfect Bouquet For Perfect Costume!
Flowers are an important part of any wedding, irrespective of the culture and religion. A bridal bouquet is an important accessory for a Christian bride.
While choosing the bridal bouquet you should take the colour scheme of your dress and also the wedding decor into consideration.
While selecting the flowers for the bouquet you can either go monochromatic way or can pick flowers in different shades of the same colour. Another option is to pick a bouquet that has flowers in varied colours, but they should complement each other well.
You can even create a bouquet which includes all flowers which come under a warm colour tone or flowers which come only under cool hues.
If you want you can even select and mix warm and cool colour tones together. Each colour placed with a matching tone would enhance each other and would create a different aura.
As we said earlier the flowers should reflect your colour theme of the wedding. So choosing the bouquets also needs a lot of planning. But don't forget that simplicity is the key. You should take a professional florist’s help before selecting the bouquet.
Have an in-depth conversation with the florist before you chose the bouquet. They will have a clear and better idea than us. Another thing is that each flower has a different meaning in terms of relationship. So who else other than a florist could explain it, so meet the florist and he/she will help you pick an apt bouquet.
Don’t forget to match the bridesmaids’ bouquets to the bridal bouquet. But that doesn’t mean it should look the same.
