Latest Indian Bridal Trends

Post wedding season of 2012, here are some of the latest bridal trends..
In terms of colors, purple and violets were hot this season. For the bridal dress, traditional sarees and lehengas remained on top. Bridal Lehengas - the saree type ones, not the fish cut ones were in demand. For bridal hair-styles, it was mainly curls, buns and puffed-up straight hair look. Flower hair pieces made with orchids were also hot this season. For make-up, it was the minimalistic, natural look. People preferred the sober look to the made-up look. For wedding jewellery, it was very traditional. Although there were a lot of modern wedding jewellery options being offered at some of the leading Indian wedding jewellers like Tribhuvandas Bheemji Zaveri (TBZ) and Tanishq, most brides preferred to go the traditional way. I think traditional jewellery looks much better than modern jewellery on brides. There are plenty of chances later to go with modern jewellery - birthdays, anniversaries, parties etc. but for the wedding its better to stick to traditions. Here are some of my favourite bridal looks last wedding season.

Bridal jewellery tips

Wedding season has already begun this new year with many leading jewellery brands offering good discounts on bridal jewellery. If you are looking for traditional gold jewellery in Mumbai, Waman Hari Pethe (http://www.wamanharipethejewellers.com/Web/necklace_1.htm) and Tanishq (http://www.tanishq.co.in/tanishq_collections.html) have good collections. Their websites offer a prelude to the bridal jewellery collections but the showrooms have a much larger variety to offer.
Waman Hari Pethe has showrooms in Dadar, Vile Parle and has recently launched a showroom in Goregoan (West). The Goregaon (West) showroom has a limited variety of Kundan jewellery as compared to the Vile Parle(West) showroom, but has a good array of traditional gold earrings, necklaces and bangles.
Tanishq offers a beautiful variety of Kundan jewellery. Now, as beautiful as Kundan jewellery looks, when it comes to value for money, you end up spending a lot for the making charges and the semi-precious stones, Kundan and polki which have little or no return value. So, it is important to purchase Kundan jewellery keeping in mind that the return value is mostly only for the Gold. Also it is better to decide the wedding dress first and then match Kundan jewellery to go with the dress.
Tips for purchasing Gold jewellery:
1. Always make sure that when you are purchasing gold jewellery, each piece of jewellery has the Hallmark of purity on it.
2. Always keep the purchase receipt
3. It is easy to go overboard when buying wedding jewellery, but also think practically. Instead of buying one heavy gold jewellery set, you can easily go for two, which you can wear often to other events.
4. You can always get a good bargain on the making charges. Making charges vary based on the intricacy of the design. Generally making charges vary from 150rs. per gram to upto 300 rs. per gram. But you can bargain on the making charges and ask for a reduction.
