Weddings are the greatest celebrations of love, elegance and abundance. Everything
about a wedding, starting from the theme, is of great importance to making the day
memorable. Undeniably, the centermost attraction of every wedding is the gorgeous
bride. All eyes are on her and her timeless beauty as she walks down the aisle adorned
in the finest of clothes and jewelery. If you are a bride-to-be, preparing to tie the
eternal knot with the love of your life, here is a list of essential jewelery that will
make you look stunning and ethereal on your big day.
 

1.MaangTikka
No bride is complete without a Maang Tikka that adorns her forehead. Maang tikkas
are worn at the parting of your hair and have an old world charm that will take you
back in time. Maang tikkas come in many forms and designs; you can select one by
keeping in mind the nature of your forehead and the look you seek. If you have a
broad forehead, a heavier tikka will look stunning. If your forehead is smaller than
average, a lighter maang tikka will look graceful and elegant. Maang tikkas usually
come designed to complement the rest of your jewelery. An upgrade to Maang Tikka
would be the Matha Patti, which comes with embellished chains on both sides. Matha
patti is designed to radiate royalty and is without doubt must-have jewelery on your
wedding day.
2. Necklace.
Another unavoidable jewelery for the Indian bride is the necklace. A well-crafted and
exquisite traditional necklace works wonders on your appearance. A necklace not only
dazzles on your neck but also accentuates your overall beauty. There are many types
of necklaces to choose from, depending on your taste in jewelery and the overall
theme of your attract. These may range from bib necklaces, the jadavi lacha (derived
from the Nizams of Hyderabad), mango haaram, addigai etc. These varieties add a

dash of etherealness to your overall aura, so do not forget to add them to your must-
have jewelery list.

3. Rani Haar
Rani haar, as the name suggests, is a neckpiece for the queens. Raani haars are long,
majestic neckpieces that turn eyes and heads alike. As opposed to a necklace, a raani
haar is significantly longer and regal, having various layers and a pendant. Raani
haars are often studded with rubies, emeralds or even diamonds and pearls and are
irresistibly gorgeous and have a royal touch to them. Raani haar is a bold and
standalone piece of jewellery, and no Indian bride should miss a chance to don this
regal chain of perfection on her big day.
4. Earrings

When you don a gorgeous necklace or a regal raani haar, it is essential that you do not
let the ears go bare. Your earring should complement the necklace and other jewellery,
but need not necessarily be heavy or protruding. An earring is something you have to
wear throughout the day, so it is important that you choose it to be light enough so
that you can wear it for prolonged periods. Having decided your comfort level, you
can experiment with the designs. An exquisite earring is a must have for every bride,
and remember, no matter how small a part you think it plays, your earrings will
undoubtedly be noticed.

5. Bangles
Bangles  need no reminder to be included in any list. Indian brides are known for their
choicest, richest ethnic bangles. Any traditional bride is a vision in these clinking, dazzling
crafted jewelery adorning her arms. There is no dearth of fantastic bangle
designs in India. Be it the chooda or polki bangles from the north or the traditional
Kerala kappu, you have a plethora of designs to choose from. Being the traditional
Indian bride, you can even go ahead and make a statement by wearing the dangling
kaleere bangles.
