Indian Bridal Jewelry for the Minimalist Bride
The minimalist bride is different. She chooses to go a different way and avoid the loudness and glitter. She goes with earthy tones and tranquil colors to create a soothing look that is both elegant and understated. She prefers delicate, simple pieces of jewelry that add a touch of sophistication to her overall look without overpowering it. Let’s take a closer look at some Indian wedding jewels.
What to keep and what not to
If you’re creating a minimal look for your special day, you can consider not wearing some pieces of your traditional Indian jewelry. Not only will it make the entire look a little more elegant and chic, but will also allow the viewer to focus more on the pieces that you did keep. Ditch the nose rings, maathapattis, or maangtikas if you have to, and create a minimal look that truly suits you and the outfit of your choice.
Pick your shade
The color of the attire plays a big role in selecting ornaments that can with it. If you’re going for a muted color palette that contains earthy shades such as beige and soft pink, you can go for dainty and subtle pieces that create a simple, calming, and soothing look. Going with stones that complement the color of your outfit is a great way to add a splash of color to the look.
Know the balance
A minimal look is not always about picking smaller pieces of jewelry. It really is about how a bride can express more while using fewer pieces of adornment. So, knowing how to balance it all can get a little tricky. You can start with a little experimentation by pairing different pieces together. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll know what pieces of jewels team up best with your outfit, and creating a sober look will become way easier.

The classic dangling jhumkas are great but when it comes to picking jewelry for the minimalist bride, stud earrings are perfect. Small, sparkling studs can add the shine that your minimal attire needs while keeping it low-key. If you’re trying to add some color to the mix, you can pick a set of earrings with gemstones that go well with your outfit’s color.
Apart from keeping it low-key, earrings have a rather important responsibility. Picking smaller earrings or studs with a wedding outfit can help you keep your statement piece in the spotlight while the subtle shine of your earrings adds to the entire look.
