Bridal Accessories: A Checklist

Bridal Jewellery: Without a doubt, this is what must be mentioned first on the list. Bridal jewellery is an extremely important part of the bridal look, more so in India. It makes the bride truly look like royalty and glamorises her to a whole new level. The bridal jewellery includes the necklace or choker, earrings, bracelets and bangles, rings, maang teeka, jhumar, or other head accessory, and nose ring, to name the main ones. All of these pieces can be crafted in either real metal or as imitation jewellery. Nowadays, floral jewellery is also a trending option. Check out the jewellery shops in and around JP Nagar for more options!
Veil: Traditionally, the veil or the ghunghat has been a necessary component of the bridal look. Nowadays, brides are opting for two dupattas along with their wedding lehenga: one which is draped over the shoulder, and one that is worn over the head as the veil. These two dupattas can be either in the same hue, or contrasting, as per your preference. One may also decide what they consider to be the apt length of the veil for themselves.
Hair Accessories: If you want to glam up your hairstyle, you can add some accessories among your tresses. At the shops in and around JP Nagar, Bangalore, you will find a large variety of hair clips and pins, tiaras, hair bands, hair combs, and more. These are all available in a multitude of sizes, colours, shapes, and designs, with various embellishments, such as crystals and rhinestones. Another option is to wear flowers in your hair. This is a great way to freshen up your look. You may request your hair stylist to arrange for the same. Contrarily, you may also add artificial flowers to your hair-do.
Footwear: You can opt for different footwear to go with your outfits for all the pre-wedding and wedding functions. Take your pick from stilettos, heeled sandals, wedge heels, flat sandals, or stylish juttis. There are tons of options where you can shop for these in JP Nagar.
Undergarments or Shapewear: It would be criminal to not mention this as one of the most essential components of this list. The right undergarments and shapewear help hold everything together, and ensure that it all appears on the outside as it must. Purchase any specific lingerie from shops in and around JP Nagar, such as seamless panties, strapless bras, etc. or other shapewear (spanx, saree shaper, etc.) as required.
Clutch or Purse: This is something that you are likely to be handing over to a family member or friend rather than carrying yourself. However, opt for a chic clutch or purse which will comfortably hold essentials such as lipstick, compact and other makeup necessities for touch-ups, hand sanitiser, wet wipes and tissues, and safety pins.
Bindi: You may or may not choose to wear a bindi with any/all of your outfits. You may pick something that is elegant and understated, or something big and automatically eye-catching! The choice is yours! Bindis often add a nice touch to the appearance.

DOs and DON’Ts When Selecting Your Wedding Accessories

DOs

Make sure to pick comfortable footwear! Your wedding functions are going to be some of the longest and most tiring events of your life, and you don’t want uncomfortable footwear adding to the fatigue! Moreover, why should a pair of unnecessarily tall heels stop you from dancing your heart out on one of the most important days of your life?! Strike a balance between comfort and style. Browse through the hundreds of shops in and around JP Nagar, and we promise, you’ll find your pick!
Break into the footwear in advance. Wear it atleast a few times at home and walk around in it for a bit. You don’t want any blisters or shoe bites on your feet at the time of the event.
Take out that big pouch of safety pins and use it to the fullest when pinning up your dupatta! You want to make sure it doesn’t keep falling over your shoulders or arms, as that will make you look a bit clumsy and less graceful, and be a constant source of annoyance.
Your wedding accessories should depend on how heavy or simple your outfit is. This is particularly relevant in the case of wedding jewellery. An already heavy, fully-embroidered outfit, may not need all that much. Make sure that the accessories-outfit duo does that look too overbearing.
Try to not be wasteful when it comes to purchasing your wedding accessories, and buy something that you are likely to use in the future as well. You may totally love that pair of juttis with neon embroidery, but will you really get much use of it later on (unless, of course, you have a ton of lime green and fluroscent pink in your wardrobe! In that case, there should be nothing to stop you!)? The best idea is to purchase items in shades such as gold, silver and other metallic hues. There are several vendors in JP Nagar where you will find many such appealing options.

DON’Ts

Don’t opt for stilettos or pencil heels for events that are being hosted in lawn areas (or by the beach). The heel may sink into the mud or sand. Let’s avoid an uncomfortable and awkward situation by picking wedge heels or juttis, instead.
Don’t wear a bindi that’s too big for your forehead. Remember, proportion is everything!
Don’t be careless when it comes to the innerwear. Seams or your underwear peeking through the otherwise gorgeous gown with a tapered bottom? A big NO!
Don’t go overboard with the jewellery! Remember that wedding accessories are meant to accentuate, not overpower.
Most importantly: don’t stray much from your personal style. Keeping up with trends is well and good, but not at the cost of your authenticity! That one particular blouse cut may be the ‘it’ design in 2019- but hey, don’t opt for it until and unless you fall in love with it! There’s nothing trendier than a woman who’s sure of her choices and flaunts them with utmost confidence.

Wedding Accessories For The Groom

Poor grooms… the spotlight tends to fall entirely on the bride on the day of the wedding! But hey, we see you! We acknowledge that it is equally your big day, too! Below you’ll find a list of accessories in JP Nagar for the groom so that he looks his very best, very chic, and very ‘dapper’ self!

A smart wristwatch: This is a style statement in itself! Pick something with smart leather or metal straps and flaunt it with all your outfits!
Footwear: Brogues, oxfords, loafers, juttis… there are so many options! Depending on the style of the outfit, pick matching footwear. For instance, a sherwani will look best with chic juttis, while a formal suit will go with smart loafers in leather or suede, or shining leather brogues.
Waistcoat: This a trend ain’t ever getting over! A smart waistcoat, be it plain or printed, looks great with any kurta. This is a particularly great option for a mehendi or haldi event. The choices in terms of colours, textures, and prints, are endless!
Cufflinks: This is a very smart and elegant way of enhancing the look of a sherwani or bandhgala. Nowadays, one can also opt for engraved cufflinks and flaunt something that is unique and personalised.
Tie, bow-tie, or belt: These are some things you may consider wearing if you are wearing a formal suit on any event, such as the cocktail party.
