What Jewellery Should a Bride Wear on Her Wedding Day?

A Complete Bridal Jewellery Guide by Mahila

For every bride, the wedding day is not just a ceremony — it is a moment she will remember for a lifetime. From the lehenga she chooses to the jewellery she wears, every detail carries emotion, tradition, and personal style.

At Mahila Bangle Stores, brides have trusted us since 1955 to help them find jewellery that doesn’t just look beautiful — but feels right. Over generations, we’ve seen one truth remain constant:
The right jewellery completes the bride.

If you’re wondering what jewellery a bride should wear on her wedding day, this guide will walk you through everything — thoughtfully, beautifully, and simply.

1. The Bridal Necklace: The Heart of the Look

The bridal necklace is the most defining piece of wedding jewellery. It sets the tone for the entire look.

Most brides today choose:

• A statement choker paired with

• A long haar for a layered, regal effect

At Mahila, brides often bring their outfits first — lehengas, sarees, or gowns — and we help them match the jewellery perfectly, ensuring balance, comfort, and elegance.

💡 Tip from Mahila:
Heavy embroidery calls for structured jewellery like kundan or polki. Softer fabrics pair beautifully with temple or antique-finish designs.

2. Earrings: Framing the Bride’s Face

Earrings are what guests notice when they look at the bride’s face.

Popular bridal choices include:

• Chandbalis for a royal look

• Long danglers for elegant silhouettes

• Jhumkas for traditional ceremonies

Comfort matters just as much as beauty — especially for long wedding rituals. This is why brides at Mahila often try multiple styles before choosing the one that feels effortless.

3. Maang Tikka: A Symbol of Bridal Grace

No bridal look is complete without a maang tikka. It draws attention to the bride’s face and adds symmetry and charm.

Depending on face shape and hairstyle, brides choose:

• Classic round kundan tikkas

• Statement centre-drop designs

• Matching sets with matha pattis for grand weddings

Our in-store bridal stylists ensure the maang tikka sits perfectly — neither overpowering nor understated.

4. Bangles: Tradition, Emotion & Beauty

Bangles are not just jewellery — they are emotion, tradition, and celebration.

At Mahila Bangle Stores, bangles are our legacy. Brides choose from:

• Glass bangles in auspicious colours

• Kadas for structure and elegance

• Combination sets that match every outfit

Many brides visiting from abroad make it a point to stop at Mahila — because bangles here are not bought, they are chosen with care.
