How to Choose the Perfect Bridal Necklace for Your Lehenga or Saree

Mahila’s Expert Bridal Necklace Guide Since 1955

Choosing the right bridal necklace is one of the most important decisions a bride makes — because it sits at the heart of her wedding look.

At Mahila, brides don’t just come looking for jewellery.
They come with their lehenga, saree, blouse design, and wedding vision — and together, we find the necklace that completes it.

If you’re wondering how to choose the perfect bridal necklace for your lehenga or saree, this guide will help you choose confidently — whether you’re shopping online at Mahila.co or visiting our iconic jewellery store in Bengaluru - Mahila Bangle Stores

1. Start With the Neckline of Your Outfit

Your blouse or lehenga neckline decides everything.

🔸 Deep or Sweetheart Neckline

Best paired with:

• Statement chokers

• Broad kundan or polki sets

These create a regal, bridal-first impression and photograph beautifully.

🔸 High Neck or Boat Neck

Best paired with:

• Long haar or layered necklaces

• Subtle chokers worn higher on the neck

💡 Mahila tip:
Never overcrowd the neckline. Balance is what makes bridal jewellery look luxurious.

2. Choker, Long Haar or Layered Necklace – What Should You Choose?

This is one of the most searched bridal jewellery questions — and for good reason.

✨ Chokers

• Perfect for modern brides

• Bold, structured, and timeless

• Ideal for receptions and grand wedding ceremonies

✨ Long Haar

• Elegant and traditional

• Works beautifully with silk sarees and classic lehengas

• Elongates the bridal silhouette

✨ Layered Necklaces

• The most popular bridal choice today

• A choker + long haar combination creates depth and drama

At Mahila, many brides try multiple combinations — and often fall in love with layering once they see it styled in person.

3. Match the Necklace to the Fabric & Work of Your Outfit

Not all jewellery suits all outfits.

• Heavy embroidery & zardozi work → Structured kundan or polki necklaces

• Silk sarees & temple weddings → Temple jewellery or antique-finish sets

• Pastels & lighter lehengas → Softer polki, pearls, or subtle stone work

This is why brides who visit Mahila Bangle Stores in Bengaluru often bring their outfits along — so the jewellery doesn’t just match, it belongs.

4. Comfort Matters More Than You Think

Your wedding day is long. Very long.

A necklace should:

• Sit comfortably on your collarbone

• Not dig into the neck

• Feel balanced, even after hours of wear

At Mahila, every bridal necklace is tried, adjusted, and styled — because comfort is a luxury brides deserve.
