A letter to the Bridesmaid
Kalyan Blog
Dear Bridesmaid,
Congratulations on your loved one’s upcoming wedding. We hear you are wrapped up in bridesmaid duties and have yet to decide how to accessorise for the big day. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered.
Indian weddings are extravagant celebrations of love, colour, and culture. On such a vibrant occasion, you, as the bridesmaid, should shine as radiant as the ceremonies. Imagine the rhythmic beats of the music, the spectacle of hues swirling around, and amidst it all—there you are, adorned in jewellery that is nothing less than a piece of art. So here’s our quick guide to making your day as memorable as your dear loved ones.
While choosing the perfect jewellery, you’re not just picking accessories, you are selecting unforgettable memories. So think about how you want to look in those picture-perfect moments.
The first decision to make is the hue you will be opting for your jewellery. Will it be a golden glam of yellow gold, a rosy affair with rose gold or a moonlit elegance of white gold or platinum?
Once you have figured that out, how much would you like to accessorize? Do you prefer a minimalist look or maximum shine? A tip would be to accessorize based on your ensemble’s style and the wedding’s theme. Traditional wardrobe would look best with bold and heavy jewellery pieces, whereas modern clothing enhances the beauty of minimal jewellery.
Here are some of our favourite pieces of jewellery that shine at Indian weddings.
Diamonds
Diamonds are for bridesmaids who like their look simple, elegant, yet vibrant. Choose a bold choker necklace studded with brilliant diamonds set in a modern design. If you would like to go for the traditional look, a polki set will add a touch of royalty to the ensemble.
Coloured Gems
Add a string of vibrance to the celebration with coloured semi-precious stones. Ruby jewellery pairs well with attire in hues of ivory. If you would like to pair your bold-coloured lehenga, opt for green emeralds. If pastels are your style, blue sapphires add a touch of dainty elegance to the entire look.
Pearls
Pretty pearls pair well with almost any outfit. Whether it be florals, pastels or bold colours of reds and greens, the pearl adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your ensemble. We suggest a bold and heavy set for the youthful and vibrant bridesmaid, while a simple pearl strand with a bold pendant and matching earrings will look perfect for the mature and elegant bridesmaid.
Kundan
The antiquity and charm of Kundan jewellery is a show-stopper. Choose to go the regal route with a Kundan choker and a matching pair of danglers that will add grace and vibrance to your attire.
As you pick out the unique pieces of accessories for your bridesmaid day, don’t forget to consider the all-time jewellery pieces like the Chaandbaalis, Maang tikkas and Paasas to glam up the occasion.
Wishing you a happy bridesmaid day as you celebrate the love and happiness of your loved ones.
Yours Truly,
Kalyan Jewellers
