Jhumka is a must have in every bridal collection.

Kada or bangles

The broad kadas add grandeur to the special bridal look. Kadas traditionally come in designs that include Lakshmi, peacock motifs, elephants, swan, enamel paint, and several other patterns with precious or semi-precious stones.

Long haara with temple designs

Haara, which is a long necklace, stands out when the bride appears in complete attire. So, choose the best of best haara designs.

While there are endless choices of trendiest fancy haara designs, the good old patterns are always in demand.

Mango maala, moggu maala, paise/coin haara, chakra haara, temple jewellery with heavy intricate work; all these still fascinate the women of today’s generation.

Traditional Necklace

Necklace is a part of every women’s trousseau in India. Choosing the necklace design depends on individual choice and taste.

Vanki

The vanki is a unique inverted v-shaped designed jewellery piece that is worn on the arm. The armlet gets accentuated when the blouse sleeves are short and do not overlap with the jewellery.

Modern brides opt for 2-in-1 armlet designs that can be used as a neck piece too.

Vodyana

Although vodyana is not a piece that can be worn every now and then, yet South Indian brides prefer to have a heavily decorated traditional vodyana piece in their trousseau.

The gorgeously sparkling center piece of the vodyana/waist belt is commonly designed with lotus, elephants, swans or Goddess Lakshmi.

Jadai Bille - Hair accessories

Jadai Bille is a wonderful piece of ornament that decorates the hair beautifully. The usually long braided hair in a South Indian bride is decorated with jasmine flowers and ornamented with jadai billes.

Silk saree and long hair braid decorated in jasmine flowers

Silk is the first and best choice of South Indian brides. It brings out the royal feel in the bride on her big day. The dignity it shows is unmatchable to any other fabric.
