The main issue with bling is the focus around it. If you are looking to get some embroidery done or some bling work done on your bridal outfit, ensure its spread out instead of all over work so that it doesn’t look overdone!
Statement Piece!

The best way to wear bling and yet not look like a glitter machine is to wear it in statement pieces. Pick one part of the outfit that you want to go all out with. Like this bride opted for this super blingy blouse. You can pick a dupatta or even lehenga skirt, but then keep the rest of the outfit plan to let that statement piece have its limelight!

Nothing says bling like some jewellery! If you are looking to add your element of bling through your jewellery, layer it like this bride. She also did a smart thing like layering it on a solid background of her blouse, allowing it to steal the show!
Go Monotone!

If you want to go blingy with your outfit AND jewellery, then we would advise you to stick to one hue. Don’t break the look by including different shades or colours. This monotone look will ensure that you don’t look OTT!
Let Your Makeup Do The Talking!

Your makeup is one element that you can play around with when it comes to glitter or bling. Opt for a super shimmery eye like this bride or maybe go all out of the highlight. Discuss this with your bridal MUA prior so she can design a look for you accordingly!
Pick The Right Fabric

Picking the right type of fabric will also ensure that you don’t look like a glitter doll. If you want to opt for gold and champagne hues, we would suggest you to go for rich fabrics like benarasi which look super elegant but don’t bear the weight that embroidered fabrics do!
Go Big On Accessories

If makeup and jewellery isn’t your deal, then opt for some fun glittering accessories. Bejewelled hair pins, hand jewellery, clutches or even beautiful glitter shoes can add just the right touch of bling!
