Wearing gold jewellery is important for our brides in India; it’s more like a culture or custom. This is why planning a wedding jewellery trousseau is super important. So, here we are to help you with some thoughtful tips on how and where to spend your hard cash when it comes to your wedding jewellery trousseau.
Tip 1 – Start early
Planning early can help with a lot. First, it makes the designing part easier by giving you enough time to think and discuss. Next, it helps find a good manufacturer with enough time on your hands, as well as giving the manufacturer enough time to work on your project. Finally, it also gives time to repair, replace, or make any other changes in case of any failure or errors in the manufacturing process.
Tip 2 – Make sure you wear gold
Your choice for jewellery could be diamonds, pearls, or gemstones, but make sure that the metal you choose is gold. After all, gold is a traditional classic of India, and is considered as the most auspicious metal for any festive occasion. And, there can be no better place to get genuine hallmarked gold in your preferred designs at Aura Jewels, the most reliable and admired customized gold jewellery shop in Bangalore.
Tip 3 – Keep your costume after your jewellery
The general notion every bride has in mind is that she’ll book her wedding lehenga and then buy jewellery based on that. But, do you know that this actually isn't a logical practice? That’s because you won't be wearing your bridal lehenga again, at least not at any random function, but, you can certainly wear your wedding jewellery occasionally. So, you must always focus on designing jewellery that is more “you” and then book a lehenga depending upon the design and colour. It’s a rare advice, but more logical.
Tip 4 – Think about the future
As we’ve said, you should focus more on your jewellery because it will be worn again. So, you must design your wedding jewellery such that it brings to you the perfect bridal look on your D-day, but also makes it decent enough to be worn with any saree or lehenga in the future for any other wedding, engagement, or even a Diwali function.
Tip 5 – Include at least one antique piece
Including an antique piece into your jewellery trousseau can bring an impact that can change your entire look. There’s nothing more charming and special than an antique piece of jewellery.
Tip 6 – Make your own heirloom
Just as much as we recommend you to include at least one antique piece into your jewellery trousseau, we’ll also recommend you to create a heirloom piece that can be passed down to your next generation, which will then be antique for them at that time. So, opt for a classic style such as temple jewellery or traditional meenakari designs.
Tip 7 – Balance your jewellery pieces
No matter what all you include in your jewellery trousseau – gold, silver, diamonds, gemstones, meenakari, kundan, antique pieces, heirlooms, or anything else, you need to make sure that everything is balanced; there should not be too much of anything. Balance everything in terms of the colour, size, intricacy, and everything else.
Tip 8 – Stay within your budget
Last but not the least, you have to stay within your budget. Everyone has a budget, and going beyond that isn't wise. Spending a large part of your budget only on jewellery may not be what you want; so, if the budget does not support everything you want to buy, you could always compromise on some factors.
