Bridal Jewellery for Every Wedding Function: A Mehndi to Walima Styling Guide

Every Pakistani wedding is really four or five events packed into one week and your bridal jewellery needs to change with each one. The big set you wear on your walima will not look right at the mehndi and the small pretty pieces that are good for a nikkah will not be good enough for a baraat outfit. Whether you are buying jewellery online in Pakistan or going to a jewellery shop in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad here is how to think about each function separately instead of buying one big set and hoping it works everywhere.

Mehndi: Think About Colour First Then Weight

The mehndi is the one function where you can have fun with colour. Think about colourful jewellery, lots of bangles and big earrings. Because you will be dancing and moving around a lot it is better to wear pieces. They are easier to wear and look pretty. Green, pink and orange jewellery looks very nice with orange clothes. Our Bangles Collection has lots of pieces that brides like to wear for mehndi.

Nikkah: Simple Does Not Mean Boring

Nikkah jewellery is where a lot of brides make mistakes and end up wearing something plain or too loud. The best thing to do is wear one piece. Like a small necklace or a small necklace that goes around your neck. With some small earrings. Pearls and polki are very nice for this because they look elegant and do not take attention away from the occasion. Many brides in Karachi and Lahore like to wear necklace sets for nikkah. You can see our Chokers Collection for some nice options.

Walima: This Is Where You Can Wear Your Big Set

This is the function where you can wear your fancy jewellery set. A complete set. A necklace that goes around your neck, a piece that goes on your forehead, earrings and bangles. Is perfect for this function, when your clothes are very fancy and there will be lots of photos. If you are getting a set made to match your clothes this is the one you should spend time and money on because it is the one you will look at in photos for years. We can make our Baraat & Walima Collections in any colour you want. We deliver all over Pakistan, including Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

Reception: You Do Not Need to Buy a New Set

Brides often think they need a set for the reception but this is actually the easiest function to plan for. You can wear your baraat jewellery again without the piece that goes on your forehead or you can wear your nikkah jewellery with a ring. This is a time to save money instead of spending it.

A Way to Plan Your Budget

Instead of buying five big sets most brides find it better to buy:

One big set for baraat and walima. This is the most important one One small colourful set for mehndi One pretty simple piece for nikkah And then you can mix and match for the functions

This way it is also easier to get things made to order. You only have to match three outfits instead of five. If you are still deciding between gold and fake jewellery our guide on Real Gold vs Artificial Bridal Jewellery can help you.

Final Thought

The brides who look the best are not the ones who buy the jewellery. They are the ones who choose the right jewellery for each function. So start by thinking about each function and then choose your bridal jewellery. It will be much easier.
