Every bride is unique, but there are somethings that are common to all, and that is the bridal jewellery or accessories- while of course you can choose to wear whatever you want, we made a bridal accessory checklist for every bride just in case... you can never be too prepared when you're the bride!
Engagement

- A pretty embellished pin to add some charm to a bun or hairstyle!
- Dainty earrings that are understated and pretty! Long studded ones work great!
- A simple necklace to bring the look together- we love diamond and emerald ones!
- Dainty hand jewellery pieces that are elegant, but don't steal the ring's thunder!
- A nice studded bracelet or bangle that's always classy!
- An embellished or studded clutch.
- A classic pair of heels.
Mehendi

- A funky head accessory- be it a Mathapatti, a Maangtikka, a zardozdi hairband or a simple head chain- you can go as boho or colourful with it as you want!
- Fun earrings- be it gota ones, floral ones, meenakari or even long tassel ones! Ear cuffs are cool too!
- A choker necklace- gota or floral ones work well!
- A floral armlet or waist belt if you want one!
- Bangles and Kadas that are bright and funky and go with your overall look! Haathphools or hand harnesses look great too!
- Gota rings or enamel ones look great for the Mehendi!
- A pretty anklet or funky Payal looks good too!
- An ethnic colourful clutch or pouch.
- Juttis or kolhapuris to complete the kitschy look!
Cocktail or Sangeet

- A simple maangtikka, passa or mathapatti which isn't OTT if you're wearing a lehenga. Nothing like that with a gown.

- A diamond necklace or a beaded embellished one with a gown and a pretty Kundan or polki choker with a lehenga.
- Bangles and Kadas with a lehenga and a bracelet or cuff with a gown- you can even choose not to wear any!
- A cocktail ring and your engagement ring.
- A clutch or wristlet to go with the lehenga or the gown.
- Bridal heels- stilettos or wedges!
