Embellishments

Embellishments

Floral embellishments for the mehendi ceremony are standard. This season, upgrade your look from the regular blooms to something with a kick of spunk (not to mention, something you can repeat at your next destination wedding/Grecian themed cocktail). Add to its soft charm by opting for a simple bun accentuated with a delicate, floral accessory. Try using your favourite gems—be it pearls, diamonds of semi-precious stones—anything to add glamour to your look, while keeping your tresses perfectly in place.

 

Shine bright, without a whimper

Shine bright, without a whimper

While a certain calibre of bride likes every strand in place, on the other side of the spectrum lies the bride, just has glamorous, possessing just as much oomph but with half the care—or so she likes you to think. If you identify with the latter, then make peace with this relaxed, gorgeous low-bun. All you need is a line of polki and a maang-tikka for your look to tell him “haaye haaye cutiepie.”

 

The sangeet blow-out

The sangeet blow-out

That the sangeet is the one night where you can wear your dark-glamour on your sleeve, less a secret and more a mandate. Nothing says over-the top glam-slam than a voluptuous, over-the-top blowout. Big, exaggerated waves falling over your sequined jacket or choli is the look you need to own while exhibiting your killer jhumkas. It’s ideal for an extra hit of effortless volume, which will be perfectly in sync with your Kala Chashma moves.

 

The tangled braid

Leave no stone unturned for the big day. This is your day and you’ve got to pull all the stops. Unabashed princess power is all you need to win this day. Take your traditional braid and raise it to the Empire State building. Flowers in excess? Check! Glittering gold? Check! Completely OTT? Checkmate! It’s how we like our princesses to look—all in and proud.

 

The floral finish

Floral details are an innate part of Indian culture so as an Indian bride, it is perfectly fitting to embellish your hair with flowers on your big day. Whether you choose to tuck a sprig of daisies behind your ear or bunch of mogras into your bun, there’s nothing more beautiful than finishing your bridal ‘do with floral touch.
