Shine bright on your wedding day with Indian jewelry
You are getting married and you choose beautiful Indian clothing and jewelry
The time has come. You have been together with your loved one for a while and you decide to tie the knot. You are going to plan your Hindu or Indian wedding and there is a lot to consider.
Your Hindustani or Indian wedding is usually celebrated on a grand scale and lasts for several days. You family comes together and there is a lot of fun, music and especially a lot of delicious food. On this special day you want to look your best and a lot of new clothes and beautiful jewelry are bought. I also love clothes and jewelry and found it extra special to buy them for my wedding. In Hindi you call a bride dulhan / dulhin and getting married is called 'vivah' and Hindustani people say 'biya' or 'biha'.
The color of your clothes
In the past, you always got married in red. This color is still worn today, but you also see many other colors. You can also go for Indian clothing such as pink or gold. On your special day, you will be made up by a make-up artist and your hair will be put up. You often wear loose flowers or a 'gajra', this is a headband with flowers, in your hair.
Combine your outfit with striking, unique jewelry
Combine your beautifully crafted sari or lehenga with gorgeous, extravagant Indian jewelry. These can be made of real gold or gold-colored. Real gold jewelry is not affordable for everyone and imitation gold jewelry is fortunately loved by many and is affordable. On your big day, as a bride, you naturally want to stand out and be the most beautiful. And that is why you choose striking and unique jewelry. For clothing and jewelry, you can get inspiration from what Indian actresses and other celebrities have worn on their own weddings. These Bollywood jewelry are often copied and are also popular with brides all over the world.
What types of Indian jewelry does a bride wear on this special day?
What types of jewelry do you wear as a bride? You wear Indian bridal jewelry, which consists of several parts, including a maang tikka or mathapatti (head ornament), a pair of earrings, a wide necklace or choker, a long necklace or 'hair', hand jewelry, a nose ring, a belly jewelry, bracelets and an upper arm jewelry.
Moon tikka / Head ornament
On your head you wear a maang tikka or mathapatti, this is a head ornament. This can be a large statement head ornament with multiple hooks, which you can fasten in your hair or a small model with a single hook. It all depends on what you want as a bride and what looks nice on your forehead.
Statement earrings
The earrings of a bridal jewelry set are usually large and striking with or without a hair chain. These statement earrings can be jhumka earrings. Jhumka earrings can be recognized by a bell-shaped bottom. Or they can be chandbali earrings, these have the shape of a half moon. If the earrings are large and heavy, a chain that you can attach to your hair is very nice. Walking around with heavy earrings all day is of course not pleasant.
A striking jewel in your face
A beautiful striking piece of jewelry in your face, is a nose ring. The nose ring is usually large. This can be set with stones, a motif with colors or an animal, such as a peacock, on it and finished with beads.
Necklace and Rani Haar
Around your neck you wear a wide choker or a strikingly large necklace, together with a long chain, which is called 'haar' or 'Rani haar'.
Colorful bracelets and hand jewelry
Your arms are decorated with henna and you wear a set of bracelets on both arms at your wedding in a matching color as your clothing and jewelry. You also wear hand jewelry, which makes your hands even more beautiful and makes them shine. The hand jewelry is provided with a ring, which you can slide onto your middle finger and around your wrist you can attach the jewelry with a hook.
A jewel around your waist
To accentuate your waist, wear a belly jewel. These are also available in various models, often set with sparkling stones.
And sometimes upper arm jewelry is also worn on the upper arms, these are called 'bajuband' or 'baju' in Hindi.
Ankle jewelry and statement rings
In addition to all these beautiful jewelry, you wear around your ankles, payals. These are ankle jewelry and are available in various sizes and models, with or without colored stones, just like the other jewelry. As a bride, you will usually choose a striking ankle jewelry.
