If you thought hair accessories were limited to the boring Maang Tikka or Matha Patti, think again. From cute to regal, hair accessories have that ability to transform you completely and add a little oomph to the mix. Right from the bachelorette to the wedding, there are hair accessories for every event which not only enhance the hairdo, but also boost the bridal beauty! Traditional or modern? You take your pick!
Bachelorette Party
Tiaras
If you've always dreamed of wearing a tiara since you were a little girl, then your own Bachelorette is the perfect time to feel like a princess! A sparkling tiara or a fun one, the choice is yours... but yes, one with a single line of diamantes looks stunning even with the simplest of hairstyles!
Flower head bands and wreaths
These aren't just limited to the bridesmaids! Get a super special one with roses or bigger flowers to stand out!

Funky Hair clips

Remember the bird on Carrie's head during the wedding in the Sex and the City movie? Funky hair clips have made their way to India as well, perfect to be paired with a cocktail gown during the Engagement or Sangeet. These can be just clips that come in fun shapes - stars, flowers, all put on the hair in a formidable way. Pick a shape that's closest to your spirit animal.
Modern juda pins

Mehendi
Zardosi headbands
Looking for something cute yet traditional to wear at your Mehendi function? Then a Zardosi headband might be just what you're looking for! The best part? You get to leave your tresses open if you want to!
Head chains

Little clips, easy to wear. They just add character to your bridal personality!
Wedding
New-age Maang-tikka
More or less a staple when it comes to Indian weddings, but these have also undergone a change over the years. Big, statement Maang-tikkas which dominate the face have become a rage on the ramp, and weddings as well!
Hair Combs

They are just clips with a comb in place - nothing different, just practical and fun. These days, you also get temple jewellery designs and pure gold ones also.
Poola Jhada
The south-indian hair braid where you have a long floral or gold design across the length of your hair - that's the theme and it will never fail you.
Temple Jewellery Vintage Clips

In Bharatnatyam dance, you see that the maatha patti will come with two little clips - surya and half-chandra, they are so popular even now.
Cute little Juda Pins

Gone are the days when Juda pins were drab and boring, check out these tiny ones which can make the boring wedding bun look so adorable! Get ones with kundan, little petals or ghungroos which look pretty and dressy at the same time! You can even tuck the dupatta into the bun using these pins!
Matha-patti
Wear it full or only on half the side of the parting, but agree with us when we say that Matha-pattis look way more dressy than the Maang-tikka, especially for the bride!
Jhoomer or Passa

How beautiful did Deepika look in Bajirao? Once only associated with Muslim weddings, the Jhoomer or Paasa has now become a hot bridal accessory. Wear only a Jhoomer on the side or team it up with a Maang-tikka, it adds a regal old-world charm to any bride!
