How do I Choose Jewellery for My Indian Wedding?

If you're planning a wedding in India, you're in for a treat: Weddings in India are known for their opulence, color, and vibrancy. From lavish decor to intricate henna designs, there are many elements that make an Indian wedding extra special. But with all the planning for an Indian wedding, where do you start? This is especially true when choosing jewelry for your wedding.

Choosing the right jewelry for your Indian wedding can be daunting, especially if you are unfamiliar with the traditional style of Indian weddings. The following tips can help you choose the perfect jewelry for your big day:

Decide on your budget.

Indian weddings are notoriously lavish events, so it's important to budget for your jewelry before you start shopping. When deciding on a budget for your Indian wedding, you also need to consider the cost of the venue, food, decorations, and clothing. You also need to factor in the cost of the photographer and music. The budget should be realistic and reflect the size and scope of the wedding. A significant portion of your budget should be set aside for your jewelry.

Choose jewelry that goes with your wedding dress.

When wearing a traditional Indian wedding dress, opt for traditional-style jewelry. Your wedding dress is the most important part of your Indian wedding, so you need to make sure that your jewelry matches. Choose jewelry that is similar in style to your dress or accentuates the features of your dress. If you have a simple dress, you may want to choose more elaborate jewelry and vice versa.

Consider the metal of your jewelry.

Gold is the most popular choice for Indian weddings, but silver and platinum are also popular choices. Gold is the way to go if you want a more traditional look. Silver or platinum may be a better option if you are looking for something more modern. Second, consider the quality of the metal. Higher quality metals last longer and look better over time.

Choose jewelry that is comfortable to wear.

Remember that you will be wearing your jewelry for many hours, so make sure it is comfortable to wear. Traditional Indian weddings tend to be long and involve several ceremonies. As a bride, you want the best day of your life to be stress-free and comfortable enough to enjoy the day.

Type of jewelry you want to wear at your wedding

Now that we have the practical things figured out, we can decide what kind of jewelry will go with the dress. One of the first things you choose will be the earrings.

Indian bridal earrings

Diamonds are always popular and stud earrings like the Diamond Stud Earrings or the Sheen Curves Diamond Stud Earrings are perfect. The price ranges from INR 19,000 to the highest of INR 68,000 and your budget can help you decide.

Dangling earrings can up the glam quotient, just like Chand Bali earrings. Both are embellished and will make you shine, especially when you put your hair up. Nothing is more bridal than the Pearl Chand Bali in Yellow Gold or the Diamond Drop Earrings. If you are going for a traditional look, you can choose jhumkas like Enfold Diamond Jhumkas.

Necklace for your Indian Wedding

Mangalsutra is usually the first to be chosen. You can choose  Diamond Mangalsutra or Gold Mangalsutra. Remember that mangal sutras are best chosen for your comfort as you will be wearing them all the time. Also, the Diamond Necklace is a good choice if you want to wear diamonds. Necklaces can take up the lion's share of your jewelry budget. Whether you choose one with diamonds or one with pearls to match your earrings, like the derby cut pearl necklace, it's sure to make an impression. Most Indian weddings are accompanied by garlands of flowers around the neck for most of the day. Although your necklace may be covered in flowers, you still want to choose one that you love. A choker necklace is ideal as it will show through any number of flowers. Certain chokers, like the diamond necklace or the gemstone necklace, will give you the glamorous look you desire.

Indispensable bracelets

You cannot have an Indian wedding without bangles. You can wear dozens of colorful green and red bracelets, but you still want a big gold and diamond bracelet to take center stage. You can choose between the Diamond Bangle.

Wedding rings

We don't forget to add the alliances' par excellence for you. While wedding rings were not once part of the traditional Hindu wedding, most modern brides today wear engagement and wedding rings. The rings are accompanied by diamonds or precious stones that add to the symbolism of the engagement. The Diamond wedding ring set is an easy choice.

Indian weddings take months to plan and days to shop. Finally, you have to choose the outfit and any other accessories that go with the outfit. You may also have family jewels that have been passed down from generation to generation that you are expected to wear. We have only offered you a few models to choose from.
