Let’s take a look at our simple and easy rulebook, comprising of innovative ideas to pair up jewellery with bridal lehenga and ace your D-day look.

If there is anything which is more profound than Kareena Kapoor’s cheekbones, it has to be the good-old, diamonds! Morning wedding, evening wedding, traditional wedding, funky wedding, saree wedding, lehenga wedding or a gown wedding; there is nothing where diamonds won’t fit in. Just like your bridesmaid, a diamond set will never go out of style but will also make you realise how beautiful you’re, every step of the aisle. And the eyes gazing at you on your wedding day would prove us right! Well, they ain’t called a girl’s best friend for nothing, right? Recommended for those who believe in being classic.
Bring your outfit to life by pairing it with contrasting shades of hues/tones. You can match your jewellery with your outfit by using dual tones or palettes. Choose the dual tone in such a way that while one strand/set-of-beads remains of the same colour as the outfit, the other strand/set-of-beads provide an amazing contrast to the lehenga. Not only will the rich hues and classic colour palette accentuate your outfit but will also give you a regal look on your big day! Recommended for those who are edgy and gutsy, but don’t wish to go overboard.
