You should first wait to receive your bridal dress. To ensure a perfect match, you should carefully choose your Bridal Jewellery depending on the embroidery, colour and type of your bridal wear.

The bridal top has an important role in making your jewelry look stunning. If you have decided to wear very heavy jewelry then go for a bridal top with a wider or deeper neckline so that the ornaments sits perfectly on your body. Decide how much elaborate work and embroidery you want in the portion where your necklace sits.

Now after finalising your bridal outfit, make a list of the ornaments that suits well with your outfit.

Bridal ornaments include several items from head-to-toe. The most essential Bridal Jewellery that beautifies the head of a woman is the maang-teeka, it’s an elegant pendent hung with a small chain. However the maang teeka designs vary from region to region but you should make sure that it should not be too heavy or bulky. Gold clips of various shapes and designs are also very popular as bridal hair accessories.

Next item that you need to buy is the Nose Ring; this is an essential ornament for the brides specifically from northern region of the country. So you should go for a nose ring that goes well with your tradition. Again, it shouldn’t be too bulky and huge, choose a lightweight yet elegant looking nose ring or it might make you bit uncomfortable on your D-day.

Earrings are one of the most essential parts of Bridal Jewellery set, the right type of earrings make a bride look gorgeous and stunning. You can choose traditional big jhumkas, these jhumkas adds a pinch of drama to your over-all look and make you look like a dazzling bollywood diva.
