1) Bindi

Bindi, the red dot adorning the forehead of women in India is many things in one.

Indian brides wear a lot of jewellry. Rings on fingers, maang tikka on forehead, heavy necklaces and matching earring, hands filled with bangles and bracelets, nose ring, feet bracelets, etc., an Indian bride is decorated with striking jewellery accessory from head to toe that makes her most adorable for others. Indian wedding without jewellery not possible.



3) Head / Hair Accesories

Veils covering the hair and face became a symbolic reference to the virginity of the bride thereafter. A bride may wear the face veil through the ceremony. In India, women wear a ghoonghat on their head covering their face. Generally aanchal or pallu, the loose end of a sari. But, brides these days choose to wear something trendy that not only compliments her looks but also rocks her style. Some brides decorate their hair with lots of flowers instead of a veil.
