Gold Jewellery: Trends and Traditions
Gold, since ages has been Indian women’s most prized possession, something that has been passed down from generation to generation. Whenever we think of a bride, the image that comes to our mind is a bride clad in gold. A quintessential Indian bride is one wearing a gold ‘ranihaar’, gold choker, a gold nose ring, bangles jhimkis and lots of others. Gold is an indispensible part of a bridal ensemble, with changes that have taken place only in designs. Gold jewellery makes a women sparkle on the most special day of her life, instantly transforming her to someone sensuous and queen-like.
Let’s delve deep into the never ending fascination of Indian brides for this precious metal.
Traditionally, gold was considered auspicious for a bride, not only because of its purity, but also as a mark of Goddess Lakshmi, a sign that the new bride would bring a lot of wealth, prosperity and happiness in her husband’s home. Keeping in mind the 20 different types of regional weddings that take place in India, brides don gold jewellery according to different traditions to which they belong to; some like it simple, while some are rather ostentatious in their display of jewellery. It also depends on the bride’s own tastes now, but howsoever modern the bride may be, every girl wants to look her traditional best at the day of her wedding.
The Choice of Contemporary Women
Now a day brides are grooms possess more autonomy and when it comes to their wedding, they are becoming more practical and not buying gold for the heck of it. They would rather wear designer jewellery, or rather something that is custom-made. But all that without a dash of tradition would look incomplete. Even youngsters are highly conscious of this fact.
Traditions at different parts versus trends
All across India, a specific flavor of ancestral gold jewellery prevails as each region has its own craftsmanship. So when you go to Jaipur, there has always been jaadu and kundan, which exists in particular hues and enameled with a distinct flavor. But today’s jaadu and kundan jewellery has been made contemporary that can go with both an ethnic saree and a western gown.
Similarly, for the temple jewellery in South India, the motifs of mounds and domes which have been evolved into oxidized gold jewellery in contemporary format which can be carried off for events like pooja or a wedding.
Kolkatta has a particular flavor and so does Gujarat and Rajkot which has a certain touch that defines its uniqueness. Different elements like rava, veni, jaadu, kundan, stampwork, filigree etc give an idea as to how the preferences differ with respect to different regions.
Not only the make, but the difference and the preference in different parts of India is as different as a chalk and cheese. However modern and fashionable bride may aspire to become, she would always want to go back to her cultural roots and look like a beautiful, demure bride.
In Northern states like Rajasthan and Gujarat, brides would want to indulge in gold jewellery with gold ‘baju-bandhs’, ‘maangtikas’, in ‘meenakari’ and ‘kundan’ designs and coloured stone setting designs in and around Punjab. South Indian brides like to werar gold hair ornaments on their plait, which goes all the way down near the knees, or kamarbandhs called ‘odiyanam’, the ‘manga mala’, ‘vanki (armlets), and kammal (big ear rings), especially in Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Mayur and golap designs in beaten gold are a hot favourite in Bengal while in Maharashtra it is gold jewellery with paisley motif.
Apart from these, trendy cuffs, cocktail rings, precious tone studded cuffs and diamond bangles in a gold base are in vogue. Gold jewellery is also mixed and matched and designed in various styles comprising of dazzling uncut diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pearls in fine enamel work to keep up with the demands of a modern bride. Bold pieces with a retro-cum-antique design are also very hot.
Re-Emergence of Ethinic Jewellery
Heritage ethnic jewellery plays a vital role in influencing designs. Ancient pieces like haathphools, maangtikas, jadu worked kadas, mangalsutras, the kalgis (sarpech) and heavy neck pieces made in traditional gold designs are making huge come back. Designs transform according to trends, but there has been a re-emergence in terms of traditional styles and designs. Transforms have happened in weight terms also. Old designs in light weight are affordable and therefore very much in demand.
Whatever be the demands, jewellery inspired from Indian culture and traditions will always be in fashion. The best part about gold jewellery is that it goes with every attire. If the dress is with yellow embroidery, then traditional gold goes well with it. If the dress consists of silver ember, then white gold or platinum compliments with it. If on the other hand, the outfit is western,then gold jewellery with fusion designs can be worn.
So whether it is a party or a pooja, a girl is dark skinned or pale, fat or thin, gold, apart from diamonds has and always will be women’s best friend.

Check out the looks that will dominate your style statement as a wedding guest
it is the most special day in the lives of the bride and the groom. But who says you can’t dress your best at someone else’s wedding? If you are confused about the trends how, read on for the top 10 wedding guest outfits!
Ladies, please take note:
1. Six yards of elegance:
Whatever your age or shape, a sari worn the right way is always on the top. While something in a bright colour in silk, chiffon, etc. works wonders, the styles that are really popular this season are net and lace and of course, georgette. Team it up with a backless blouse and you are sure to get your share of attention too!
2. Lehengas never go out of style:
Since it’s not your wedding, stay away from very heavily embroidered lehengas, with a lot of gold or shimmering work on them. The idea is to look dressed for the occasion and beautiful at the same time. The latest style is that of a lehenga with a waistcoat over the choli. This look is perfect for younger girls who don’t want the hassle of handling a dupatta.
3. A blessing for all shapes:
The Anarkali suit is so popular that almost everyone is wearing one, wedding or no wedding. But the beauty of this outfit is that with minimal effort it can be dressed up or down. For a wedding, it is best to wear one with a little bit of zari or gota patti work on the sleeves and border. The ones with net sleeves are also very popular.
4. Boho chic:
If you don’t want to go the traditional way, you could try a fusion of both. Try teaming up a pair of harem pants or jodhpurs with a kurti or a butterfly styled kurti with a pair of jeans. Something that requires minimal effort is a full length skirt worn with a halter kurti and a bright stole.
5. Dress it up:
For the less formal events of a wedding a dress, either in full length or knee-length worn with a stole or teamed up with some interesting jewellery can also make quite an impression.
Guys, get started!
1. As it suits you :
If you are more comfortable in western wear, then chose a suit for all formal occasions,but nothing very stuffy. And just because you are a man doesn’t mean you can’t playaround with colour. Wear a shirt in contrast to the suit and do something interesting with your tie as well.
2. Traditional is the key:
A sherwani or simply a kurta and a churidar never really go out of style. And the best part is that there are available in a whole range of colours and fabrics to choose from.
3. Go Jodhpuri:
For something a little more royal, team up a Jodhpuri suit and some classy shoes that complete the outfit.
4. It’s a wrap:
Who said dhotis were only for men on the street? The garment, which is mostly worn for its comfort value is also a very fashionable outfit for men. And if you really want to play it up, team it up with a formal jacket and even a hat!
5. Uber cool:
You are not really the very traditional type, but still don’t want to look out of place? Why not team a semi-formal dinner jacket with a pair of jeans? The advantage is that you can play around with the shirt color as well as the colour, style and fabric of the jacket.

The type of entertainment that suits your personal tastes, budgets, space allowances and guest demographics are the key things to keep in mind while you choose your wedding entertainer.
Music
There is no doubt that music is an integral part of wedding celebrations. Music keeps the function lively and there are ample choices to make on this right from DJs, Live Wedding Bands, Classical Musicians, Hindustani Singers, Play back Singers, and more.
What to choose will be the next question. The type of music you are choosing sets the tone and mood of your wedding. Music selection should also be in congruence with the theme of your wedding. For example, if it’s a Victorian wedding, harpists, violins, western classics, all works and the couples and guests can take few ball dance steps in the music. Similarly, for a traditional wedding, the regional or the thematic folk songs or traditional songs will be apt. Regardless of choice, a good bandleader will play the master of ceremonies at your reception if you want him to interact with folks on the dance floor, pay attention to the "feel" of the room, and select music accordingly.
Dancers
Dancers are increasingly used in wedding entertainments. From Traditional Dancers to Regional Folk Dancers, Cinematic Dancers to Western Dancers, people make choices depending upon the wedding theme. For example for a North Indian style wedding, North Indian dance forms and folk dancers can be called for. For an Arabian theme, belly dancers are common. For a Kerala style wedding, traditional art forms like Kathakali and Mohiniyattom can be chosen. For a contemporary wedding, the most common type, cinematic dancers are preferred. Western dancers are must haves for Western weddings and fairy tale weddings.
How to Choose
Choice of the kind of entertainments you want is a matter of personal choice, but you can make choices after consulting close relatives and friends. Another thing is that your tastes might not appeal your guests. So it is ideal to strike on a common note or a middle note. That is, something soft and melodious than going in for hard rock or classical.
If you are planning a special reception for friends and colleagues alone, DJs and bands will work. Also if the wedding is traditional one, reception can be a freaky with Djs. Regardless of whether you choose a band or DJ, be sure they play slow and fast songs, and old and new tunes to encourage different sets of guests to hit the dance floor.
Variety mixes can be made with both dance and music. Some even go an additional step by adding traditional dance forms, martial arts, etc or even hard rocks and killer dances.
Things to Check
Check if the reception site has any restrictions on the number of artists and pieces of equipment they may bring in, and whether there are any sorts of electrical power supply or noise limitations. Have a good chat and negotiations with the individuals / bands you are considering and verify who exactly will be performing - you don't want a completely different lead singer showing up than the one you auditioned. Going by reference will a great idea so that you will have more idea about the team.

Choosing the right wedding venue is a top priority. The wedding venue should fit into the style, vision and budget of each individual. It should have the capacity to hold the expected guests, and also a myriad of other requirements. Before deciding your wedding venue there are many things to be considered: how many guests you want, will it be a purely religious ceremony or a theme-based one? How much can you spend on it? When is the ceremony scheduled? And things like parking space, ambience, facilities, proximity, etc. Indian marriages are often traditional religious ceremonies which will be held in a place of worship, often in the bride’s hometown, which will be followed by a party at a reception hall.

WOMEN’S HANDBAG & CLUTCH
A good handbag is one of the most essential items in the wardrobe of a woman. There are only two rules when it comes to picking the right bag for the season: structured shoulder bags for day and dainty clutches for night. Oversized bag are still trendy! Look out for bags with textured and quilted exteriors. Colors ranging from purples, greens, grey, metallic, reds, and hot pinks are popular. Also stark colour combinations – like for instance turquoise blue with purple, are fashionable these days! Bags with interesting detailing like studs, rivets, and fringes. Chains are also huge for this season. Many designers used chains as strap styles for their bag collections. The perfect way to dress up your evening look is with decorative and pretty clutch bags .
A clutch purse is typically a small purse intended to be carried or “clutched” by you. Some have a removable chain or a strap that you can even sling them across your shoulder. It even looks good with a sari. The latest is “box clutch” .They come in petite square boxes, triangles or even heart-shapes, covered with satin, beads, brocade. Else they are decorated with tassels, loops, diamonds, and sequences. For a glamorous evening out try the metallic super shiny clutch.
When a woman is looking for a handbag, she is looking for that perfect accessory that will hold her necessities. One of the first things to consider when buying a handbag is “need”. What does a woman need the handbag to do? Is she looking for an everyday handbag to carry to work, something small for an evening out, or a luxurious formal bag for a party? These needs will often determine size and composition. Matching the color of your handbag with that of your shoes is not essential. However, if the bag is in the same shade as the shoes it will definitely look chic. The ideal handbag is fashionable and practical and completes the outfit of the woman.
Remember that the color of the bag does not necessarily have to match the color of your outfit. Carrying bags in contrast hues can also look smart and trendy! A rule that you follow before buying a bag is to get bag size as per body frame. A petite or small woman should avoid very big bags as this will tend to make her look more petite than she already is. Tall females can carry almost any kind of bag; however, very tall females should avoid very small compact bags as it will make them look bigger.
Bags can also hide body imperfections so be sure to know which body parts you want understated before choosing a bag. Fill up the bag with maximum things to ensure that it does not lose its shape and structure. The perfect handbag is not only made of high-class material, it also has an outstanding design. Ask yourself whether the bag will fit into your existing wardrobe. Bags and shoes, when mixed and matched with different dressed, will give a new set of wardrobe! While a handbag that matches your outfit as well as your personality can enhance your look to a great extent, the wrong one can definitely lead to the creation of a wrong impression. This is the reason why you should take utmost care while selecting a handbag.
