Jewellery Ideas to Elevate Your Mehndi Look
Kundan Chokers – The Showstopper
A Mehndi ceremony is the perfect time to embrace that dreamy floral aesthetic! A Kundan choker with floral accents is the perfect blend of tradition and freshness. Imagine soft pastel petals woven into dazzling polki or kundan—giving you that regal, princess-like charm. Pair it with matching earrings, and you’re ready to steal the show!
Haathphools – The Royal Touch
Your hands are the stars of the event (literally, because mehndi!). Highlight them with intricate haathphools featuring pearls, polkis, or delicate chains. They add a regal, vintage touch and make your henna-adorned hands look even more stunning in all those candid pics!
Jhumkas – The Drama Queens
Nothing says Mehndi Glam like a pair of statement jhumkas that move as you dance your heart out! Go for uncut kundan, emerald-studded designs, or pearl-drenched beauties for that main character moment. Perfectly paired with both lehengas and shararas, these earrings bring just the right amount of drama to your look.
Maang Tikka – The Head-Turners
Let’s talk bridal glow-up—a beautifully crafted maang tikka adds instant regal energy. Whether you choose a sleek polki piece or a full-on chaandbali design, it effortlessly frames your face and enhances your bridal radiance.
Cuff Bracelets – The Arm Candy
Mehndi ceremonies call for cuff bracelets that shine with every move! Mix and match polki, meenakari, or pastel enamel cuffs for a look that’s both playful and elegant. Pro tip? Go for light, comfortable designs so you can dance all night without worrying about the weight!
Statement Rings – Because One is Never Enough!
Big, bold cocktail rings? Yes, please! Whether it's a massive polki ring or a layered stack of delicate bands, your mehndi-stained hands deserve a little extra dazzle. After all, every hand-in-the-air moment should be dripping in glamour!
Ear Cuffs & Danglers – The Trendsetters
If you’re looking to break away from the usual, ear cuffs or shoulder-grazing danglers add an unexpected modern twist to your Mehndi look. Pair them with an off-shoulder blouse or a sleek bun to let them take center stage!
Styling Tips for the Ultimate Green Glam Look
Mehndi ceremonies usually have a green theme, and trust us—green is the color of elegance. Here’s how to style it like a pro:
- Emeralds & Golds: The ultimate royal combo. Pair deep green outfits with gold-polished jewellery for timeless beauty.
- Pastels & Pearls: Soft mint or pistachio lehengas with pearl-detailed accessories give you that ethereal, modern bride look.
- Multi-Colored Magic: Who says you have to stick to green? Pair contrasting jewellery (think pinks, reds, and blues) for a pop of vibrance against your Mehndi attire.
-
Hair Jewellery Game: Add pearl-adorned hair chains or floral hairpins to complement your jewellery and create an effortlessly chic hairstyle.
