When a girl plans her wedding, most items of her “ look” for the day are pre-planned to perfection. Of these, usually the first is jewellery.

The might of wedding jewellery

Wedding jewels are not like the jewellery we wear to a friend’s birthday, wedding, or a casual date night. Instilled with magic and bonded by love, the right kind of wedding jewellery makes a bride radiant and glowing.  

Make your jewellery, the star of the wedding. Here’s how you can make your jewellery shine:

Go larger than life

A wedding only happens once in your life. So, you are allowed to go all out!

When choosing your wedding jewellery, opt for larger neckpieces, heavy chokers, grand jhumkis, and a maang teeka that turns heads.

Instead of choosing minimalistic diamonds, go for traditional yet modern all-gold looks, such as with this heritage gold necklace adorning your neck – and become the bride of the year!

Somebody once said go large or go home, and we think the wedding is the perfect day to put that plan in action and make your jewellery, the star of the evening.

Choose to go bold

Most contemporary brides wear only a few colours in their wedding jewellery. Some choose to go all-gold, others wear purely diamond sets, and a few others add hints of red in their jewellery pieces.
Yet, if you want your jewellery to shine, you need to take a different route. Deviate from the usual hues and choose to go bold instead. You have two options:

1. Wear a neckpiece that matches with your attire
2. Choose a necklace that plays an aesthetic contrast

Those who want a matching look can choose the first option, and therefore make their jewellery match with the colour of their wedding dress.
But, for the adventurous ones who want their jewellery to do all the talking, the second option is a trendy one. Pair a gold lehenga choli with this contrasting green gold choker-style necklace for the perfect sangeet look.

Or, match red on red with a maroon sari and a bright red gold necklace on your wedding day.

Such bright hues are sure to leave you and your jewellery – shining.

Be unconventional

A wedding is the day to go traditional – or so it is usually thought.
You can turn around the trends and create new memories by choosing an unconventional jewellery style for your wedding to make it shine.

From distinct shapes to trendy cuts and bold hues; choose your level of eccentric and make the purchase!

Layering beauty

If you thought layered necklaces were only a trend to be adopted with casual tees – think again!
Layered jewellery have been making a mark everywhere, especially in the wedding jewellery arena.
A great way to make your jewellery stand out on your wedding day is to layer a lot of it together, or choose one layered necklace, really.

With pre-made 4 layers, you don’t need to do a lot to make this jewellery piece shine. Pair it with a green choker necklace, some kundan jhumkis, and preferably a slightly deep-necked choli.
Set against your skin, the jewellery will shine – along with you!
