“Fashion – You excite me, delight me, ignite me!”
There are such times in life where one has to compulsorily be attractive and graceful to others by looking good and feeling good. Even if one likes to dress basic during normal days, weddings are those times when grandeur sets in, and the human mind prompts to indulge in fashion and glamour in many ways than one!
Just imagine the exhilaration of rising up to the occasion and dressing ourselves for the great day; we don’t always settle for the second best, because it is a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to showcase our sartorial elegance to impress the spouse as well as friends and guests.
Enter the world of fashion nexus, where the connectivity of one thing flows as an essential entity into the realm of another. For example, when you shop for the bridal gown or sari, the next thing that comes to the mind is bridal jewellery. The next line up is fashion accessories like trinkets, footwear, designer watches, sunglasses and bags to keep indispensable make up trimmings….ah! The list goes on and on!
For the bride to be, the selection of bridal and engagement jewellery is the most imperative ingredient of the entire wedding, because that’s the only expensive element which will grab the attention of all the guests (especially women!), and be the conversation starter as well!
They will instantaneously proceed to access the weight of the gold, the carat of the diamonds, the jeweller’s reputation, (by this time they would have gathered the name of the purchase point!), the era of the fashion, whether it is antique or contemporary, traditional or temple and more so, about the craftsmanship and ornamentation style….
This excitement of wearing the latest, exquisite, eye-catching bridal jewellery and the assorted appreciative and sometimes envious glances it receives is a real time high for any bride.
It also adds on the pride and prestige of showing the world your creative and connoisseur taste which in turn boosts your self-esteem that’s linked with your wealth, power and status.
This OMG! Factor of jewellery that bedazzles the bride-to-be is really mind boggling! Starting with gold, her eyes open up to an alluring array of finely crafted jewellery made of silver, copper, clay, ivory and platinum, even wood and silk thread!
The design styles of bridal jewellery have taken many forms and shapes over the years namely, Kundan, Gold, Temple, Antique, Kaasu Maala, Filigree, Mango Maala and Navarathna.
In the West, brides wear minimalistic jewels during wedding ceremonies, but here in India, we have Thaali Pendants, Earrings, Bangles, Girdles and Armlets to cover almost all body parts like hair, neck, ear, nose, arms, waist, ankles and fingers too!
Gold jewellery is not a piece of metal ornament worn for beauty, but is considered propitious and divine.
To quote King Solomon, ‘Only a King can attract a Queen and only a Queen can keep a King focused’. All these fine jewellery, no doubt, will keep a groom focused on his bride, of course! If not now, then when?
