No doubt expensive fine jewelry looks extremely elegant on a bride. Whether it be an intricately designed gold or silver necklace or Maang Tikka, or those with diamonds, or gems like emeralds or rubies. However, sometimes there’s nothing more beautiful than simplicity. And what’s more intriguing than nature? Hence, bringing a bit of nature in your bridal look will do absolutely no harm to your special day. Yes, we’re talking about floral jewelry, and further, you’ll read three exciting ways to carry your floral jewelry with your wedding outfit.
- The Classic Gajra:
You’re probably not a South-Asian bride if you are oblivious to this look! It’s kind of a garland made from flowers. There are multiple ways to carry this Gajra varying from face to face. If your face cut is round, the perfect way to wear the Gajra is to make a lower hair bun on the back of your head and wrap the Gajra once around the rim of the bun. Very minimal, but pretty.
If you have more of an oval face cut, this is how to wear it. Part your hair in the middle and right there, pin a strand of the Gajra. Next, take two other strands and pin them along your hairline to the back of your head. You can wrap them around your bun if you like. You can wear small jasmine earrings along. This style will uniquely complement a Saree with a little neck, or even a Lehenga, with a blouse that does not have a deep neck, as necklaces are kind of vital when you are wearing a deep neck. And with this look, we aren’t wearing any necklaces!
- The Rose Maang Tikka:
This style will look perfect with your classic red bridal dress, whether it is a Lehenga or a Ghagra. All you require to pull this look off, is a garland of tiny roses, preferably red if your dress is red. If you are wearing a pink bridal dress, your roses can be pink- and so on. You just have to pin the garland down the middle of your head, and you’re ready to go. In fact, the rose that drops on to your forehead can be more prominent as compared to the others. If you want to add more floral jewelry, you can even take two other garlands and pin them along your hairline to really make your floral jewelry eminent. Little jasmine flower embellishments will perfectly compliment the roses. If your face cut is round or full, the roses should be more prominent in size. The garland should be small otherwise.
- Daisies:
More than any other flowers like jasmines or roses, daisies will look extremely exquisite. Mainly because they are closest to the color of gold, which clearly compliments any bridal dress. You can picture in mind how graceful a necklace and two earrings made of daisies will look on the Mehndi day. A pro-tip is that your makeup should be very light and subtle like you can wear a very light pink shade, neutral eye makeup, some peachy blush, and a generous amount of highlighter on the high points of your beautiful face. This jewelry will look great on you with any face cut. If your face cut is oval, you can opt for a choker made of daisies instead of the garland-like necklace. It will look beautiful either way. Typically, on the Mehndi and Haldi days, the bride wears a yellow-colored outfit which matches the color of daisies. Hence, these are the perfect occasions and outfits with which this jewelry style will rock.
