A wedding affair has plenty of functions and you definitely would be having different outfits for each of them. But, what you must be careful about is not to keep your look similar for any two functions, just like Soha.

Nowadays, wedding jewellery choices are more dependent on dress designs and latest trends than heavy gold sets. Varuna D Jani, noted jewellery designer explains, “Your choice of jewellery should complement your sense of style. Finally, whatever you choose to wear, carry it off with confidence on the big day.” And, Soha teamed it just right when it came to accessorising her attire with jewellery and makeup.
For her mehendi ceremony, she preferred to club her heavy lehenga with just a pair of chand balis. And, when she flaunted a subtle lehenga on her wedding, she ensured to complement it with heavy traditional jewellery. Be it the traditional passa and the regular maang tikka, or the choker and long necklace, everything looked just perfect with her minimal makeup. Additionally, she made it a point to match the colour of her jewellery with the outfit that she wore in the reception party, rather than just wearing the bling.
