Weddings, Sangeet and all Indian functions are occasions to doll up and bring out that jewellery . While an Indian outfit can bring out the beauty in you, styling gone wrong can shatter all such fantasies. Wary of looking overdone or making a styling faux pax? Do remember to check the styling below and not to jump over the thin line in between.

If you are the bride to be we can imagine some serious thought process has already occurred in your over-exhausted brain, so we are here to at least get this one aspect off your mind. This will be an easy guide for your to chose the jewellery based on your bridal lehenga.

This could work well for almost any function, and any kind of outfit- traditional, modern or fusion!

Square Neckline

A square neckline draws a lot of attention to the chest and a layered neckpiece adorned with this accentuates the neckline.

Scoop Neckline

This is one of the most common necklines and neckpieces that end just above it look the best. You can go for choker pieces which scoop down. Also, dramatic necklaces with a thick single strand or multiple strands also look good. Wearing diamonds with traditional outfits has been there for long but combining traditional jewellery with contemporary outfits is a new-age trend and creates a visual impact.

Sweetheart Neckline

This neckline is perhaps the most eye-catching of them all- so you have to be a bit careful when you match your jewellery to it. Do not over-accessorize a sweetheart neckline, because it might not always work. A princess-length necklace looks good, so does a choker with a drop, which snugly complements the neckline.

Off Shoulder Neckline

This neckline gives you a lot of chance to play with the neckpiece. A statement choker piece works the best with this neckline. However, with this neckline, you can try many styles like the layered look, Rani haar etc.

Boat Neckline

This neckline scoops from one shoulder to the other without much skin show, maybe just your collarbone will show. In this neckline, best is to keep the attention on the neckline and not emphasise on the neckpiece. Statement earrings look the best without taking much attention from the garment. The ideal choice would be a heavily embellished garment with a plain top and statement and if the whole garment is embellished then it is even more necessary to wear studs so as to not look overdone.

High Neckline

High necklines, especially with solid fabric, give you a chance to add drama with jewellery. Here you can go as wild as possible as it gives you a blank canvas to play with and create a dramatic look. You can do layering with a choker to start with and a rani haar to follow or wear a layered neckpiece. Aishwarya Rai’s look in Jodha Akbar inspired many brides and still continues to do so. In case the blouse is embellished and heavy, then we would suggest to skip the neckpiece and emphasise on the earrings or headgear.

Accessorise Beyond The Neckpiece

If you want to make a statement, sometimes a hair accessory or a back neckpiece or an elaborate cuff can do the do. Slightly offbeat styling always gets you the eyeballs.
