You are done finalizing your dream wedding lehenga design, but what about planning the bridal accessories that can go a long way in making or breaking your wedding, sangeet or engagement look. When it comes to petty accessories, many of us think that anything shiny in silver and golden are enough for that ornamented and bejewelled look. Well, we would just like to add that you can never be too prepared for anything. So, in case you wish to make it perfect and dreamy, KALKI has curated a bridal accessory checklist for you to stand like a diva- just flawless.
Engagement Ceremony Accessories
You have said a ‘yes’ to the tiered Cinderella gown and that looks quite worthy of the joy, merriment, and celebration. You must not have missed a single detail for your special day but last-minute jewellery selection and preparation can really get daunting. Don’t fret! If you haven’t yet dived into the bridal accessory department; we can make it easier for you. We got it covered by suggesting you perfect accessories that would be like an extra effort to look picture-perfect.
Bracelet or bangles
This add-on can speak about your bridal style like none other. This ultimate engagement day accessory can add dimension to your beauty and bridal appeal. You can consider the class, elegance and bit of mix and match to complete your unique look. Touch of sparkle to your wrist in the form of stones, pearls, diamonds, and chunky bangles can be your personal preference. You can choose between dainty and heavy stone bracelets to match with your engagement gowns and traditional and colourful bangles if it’s a lehenga choli.
Footwear
Your footwear can leave you dancing and smiling all day long. For that matter, absolutely pretty bridal footwear is a must for your engagement. Apart from looking like a true diva; what’s first and foremost is a successful and soulful footwear for your celebration. Dig in for floral printed stilettos if it’s a ghagra choli strappy sandals if it’s a party gown and shimmy ballerinas if it’s a designer fusion saree. Sequin work footwear can always give you an extra edge over others.
Sangeet or Cocktail Ceremony Accessories
For sangeet, brides can keep their look absolutely sparkly and stunning. Leave your locks loose, go for glamorous ornaments and opt for a killer pair of shoes to transform your look into a diva. In all, the sangeet celebration gives the bride a chance to dress up like a patakha. But while looking your best, it is equally important to feel your best. Nothing should come in the way of letting your hair loose to dance your heart out at sangeet. For sangeet one can ditch the heavy ornaments and accessories and replace them with lighter and dainty versions.
Hair Accessories
Over-the-top hairstyle and elaborate hairdo can be balanced with a simple or dainty maangtikka. Basic hair clips can be teamed up with a designer gown you are wearing. Whether it’s a bun, sleek pony or an open hairstyle, there are chances that you can play around with your accessories. Embellished hair, earrings doubling up as hair jewel, ear cuffs or a hairband can really make your sangeet look pop.
Wow With Waist Belt
You have opted for a traditional lehenga choli or a saree and yet want to remain fuss-free? Adding a stunning waist belt is the way to go! Waist belts are statement bridal accessories these days and not only saves one from the hassle of keeping the pallu and dupatta in place but also adds oodles of quirk and charm to the sangeet look. After all, for that performance on groovy and high-energy Bollywood songs, you need comfort along with that ‘hep’ makeover.
Wedding Day Accessories
Gone are the days when you would concentrate only on your wedding lehenga. Figuring out the right jewellery and accessories to match with your wedding trousseau is equally important. Here are some gasp-worthy accessory options to style with your bridal lehenga or bridal outfit.
Jewellery Set
Whether imitation, or the real deal; people must be drooling when they come across the bride you are. With your jewellery set on-point, you can take your bridal appearance to a whole new level. You can go for an offbeat metal necklace and earring set in copper or bronze shade with your quirky lehenga. Diamond jewellery in pops of green, red, and blue can be the bride’s colour contrasting jewellery with wedding trousseau. Brides can also layer it up with chokers for their heritage heavy bridal lehengas. And don’t miss looking for temple jewellery with a modern twist which is in trend these days.
Latkans
Latkans are a very common type of bridal accessories these days. Latkans can be hung at the ornate end of lehenga doris, at the back of your blouse and the corners of dupatta. You can pick latkans that are personalized, light-weighted, and colourful. Latkans add a touch of drama and edginess to a bride’s look. Latkans with captions, your groom’s name or catchy lines are a trick to look cool and fashionable.
Reception Ceremony Accessories
Your accessories deserve the same amount of attention as your lehenga designs or evening gown for reception. At times all you need is a statement accessory to accentuate your bridal look. A mere adornment can take your reception and other wedding appearances a notch higher. We have some of the best accessory and styling suggestions for your reception look.
Earrings
It is important to choose a pair of earrings that compliments your reception gown, lehenga, sharara, ruffle saree or Indo-western. The type, style, colour, and size of your earrings can take your reception outfit to another level. While chaandbaalis, tassels, danglers and ear cuffs can suit your personality in lehenga, diamond studs, ruby water drops, and emerald earrings can look classy and sophisticated with gowns. Hoops and clusters are superb for Indo-western gowns and ethnic shararas.
Clutch
It’s your once-in-a-lifetime moment. No wonder, keep your clutches oh-so-bridal. Carrying your essentials shouldn’t ruin your special appearance and make you skip the dream purse you have always wanted to carry. Go for potlis that can be held effortlessly and with grace. Mirror work, tassels, doris, and sequins can be coordinated well with the heavy wedding lehengas.
Being a bride who gives extra importance to every small detail; these checklists for bridal accessories are just for you. Choosing the right one is definitely a task but at the same time can elevate your attire and make you feel like a showstopper for your day.
