1. Hair Accessories
After countless trials and sessions with your beautician you must have finalized your hair style, but what about the hair accessories? They would make your hair look lovelier and who doesn’t like to have a good hair day (that too on the special day of your life). You can either adorn with jewelry, go natural by using flowers, or use a combination of both. And if you are planning to tie your hair in a bun or bouffant then a tiara would also look a really sparkling and wonderful accessory.
2. Crystal Bindis
A bride’s forehead will remain incomplete unless there is a bindi adorning it. Instead of going for the colorful round stick-ons, we would recommend you to go for crystal bindis as they look sparkling good and would add some freshness to your look. You can either wear a crystal bindi alone or team it up with a maand tikka. Explore the different designs that are available in the market and you can choose the ones which would match your ensemble.
3. Armlets
Though a traditional accessory which the brides have been adorning since decades, the armlets are now available in the market with modern twists. Usually they are preferred to be in gold. However, there are options in platinum and silver also in case you don’t like jewelry in gold. There are some designs with multicolored precious and semi-precious stones being encrusted in the bajuband which would ensure that they would match your bridal dress perfectly.
4. Clutch Bags
You are definitely not going to need your wallet or keys while attending your own wedding ceremonies (unless you have plans to sneak out), but you will require a clutch purse in order to keep all your bridal essentials like lipstick, facial tissues and a compact with you for the makeup touch-ups. You will need 3 different clutches and to have yourself covered for every occasion – black (for cocktail parties), silver and gold (for traditional outfits).
5. Anklets

However, you don’t have to necessarily go for the traditional gold or silver ones with bells if that does not go with your entire look. You will find many modernized options in anklets in the market.
