Where Do You Come From?
With your rich culture and tradition, your Indian bridal jewelry can show where you come from and the beauty of your region or community. It can add a personalized touch to your bridal look and make it unique. Pick pieces that highlight techniques and elements that belong to your region or community and pair them with other pieces of Indian bridal jewelry to create a look that is cohesive and highlights your cultural richness.
Keep It Balanced
While picking pieces of your Indian bridal jewelry, make sure they coordinate well with each other in terms of shades and design. While bold and detailed pieces sure add more depth and flavor to the look, they can look crowded together if used poorly. Pick your statement piece and build your look around the colors and theme of that piece. Your look can contain some simple pieces that support the look while your statement pieces stay in the spotlight.
Heirloom Pieces for the Win
Nothing says culture and tradition better than the pieces of Indian bridal jewelry that have been passed down from generation to generation. If you have such a piece, try to incorporate it into your bridal attire. Due to the sentimental value that heirloom pieces carry, your bridal look will be more meaningful and culturally significant and will constantly remind you and everyone else of your great ancestral heritage.
Don’t Hold Back
Don’t hesitate while celebrating your rich culture and tradition. Pick pieces that clearly show your rich cultural heritage and feature the colors, designs, and motifs that have been passed down through generations. Mix them with other pieces of Indian bridal jewelry and create an interesting look that features both shine and emotions.

Magnificent Maangtikas
Every bride wears the maangtika with her bridal attire but there’s something special about the culturally-rooted bride. A strong hint of radiant red rubies and glossy green emeralds can be seen in the pieces of Indian bridal jewelry she wears and it's the same when it comes to the maangtika.
The maangtika rests on the top and is one of the first things that one notices when one looks at the bride. So, while picking your maangtika, look for colors that blend well with your bridal ensemble. A flower motif or a bird motif is sure to add some more flavor to the piece of Indian bridal jewelry and make the piece more noticeable.
