Bridal Jewellery Checklist: Everything a Kerala Bride Need

A wedding in Kerala is a gorgeous combination of custom, culture, and sophistication. The bridal saree may be prominently displayed, but the correct bridal jewellery will finish off the look (and enhance the beauty of every bride). Whether you opt for high-end bridal jewellery or imitation bridal jewellery, the correct bridal jewellery checklist will help you remain organised and ready for your wedding.

This guide includes everything that a bride from Kerala could want - including traditional temple jewellery, as well as different types of modern bridal accessory items.

Packaging Your Itinerary - For All Kerala Brides

Weddings can be overwhelming, and jewellery is one of the most significant components of the bride's overall look and appearance. Having a comprehensive bridal jewellery checklist will ensure you do not forget any important accessory while balancing your style, tradition, and budget.

Many modern brides prefer to wear premium-quality imitation wedding jewellery as it provides the look of luxurious gold jewellery, however, would be much lighter (and thus more comfortable) to wear than traditional gold jewellery.

1. Necklace sets worn between bridals are the focus of any bridal jewelry range.

Essentials include:

• Traditional Lakshmi necklace

• Temple jewelry necklace

• Mango mala

• Kasu mala

• Layered bridal necklace sets

• AD stone bridal necklaces

Most brides from Kerala wear multiple layers of necklaces to achieve a lavish and majestic bridal appearance.

2. A bride’s earring selection is just as important as her choice of bridal necklaces to complete her look.

Popular earring options include:

• Temple jhumkas

• Pearl jhumkas

• Antique gold earrings

• Stone-studded bridal earrings

• Long bridal earrings

They complement the ethnic wear seen on Kerala brides beautifully.

3. The netti chutti is one of the most famous pieces of bridal jewelry from the Kerala region.

Some design options include:

• Traditional Kerala netti chutti

• Lakshmi netti chutti

• Pearl netti chutti

• Stone netti chutti

The addition of an exquisitely crafted forehead ornament provides beauty and completes a bride’s overall appearance.

4. Bangles represent wealth and tradition.

Must include:

• Temple bangles

• Antique gold bangles

• AD stone bangles

• Kada

• Pearl bracelets

Layering bangles on each wrist makes for a traditional appearance.

5. There is no bridal accessory more classic than an oddiyanam (hip belt).

The hip belt serves the following purposes:

• Assists in draping the saree

• Defines the bride's shape

• Provides a royal touch to any outfit.

6. Bridal Rings

Bridal rings complement the overall jewellery styling.

Consider:

• Stone Rings

• Adjustable Bridal Rings

• Antique Finish Rings

• Pearl Statement Rings

Choose designs that coordinate with your necklace and bangles.

7. Nose Pins and Nose Rings

Many brides incorporate elegant nose accessories into their wedding look.

Trending styles:

• Traditional Nose Pins

• Stone Nose Rings

• Pearl Nose Studs

• Floral Design Nose Rings

These small details can significantly enhance bridal beauty.

Jewelry for the Reception 

Some brides choose one style of jewelry for their wedding ceremony and another for their reception

Types of Jewelry for the Reception:

Conventional AD Jewelry

American Diamond Necklace Sets

Modern Choker Necklaces

Large Statement Earrings

Lightweight Bridal Jewelry

The purpose of reception jewelry is to create a contemporary/fashionable look.

The reason that imitation jewelry has become the preferred choice of many modern brides is that imitation bridal jewelry offers:

Quality appearance

Affordability

Comfort - very light weight

Lots of design choices

Easy to match with more than one outfit

Safety from heavier gold jewelry

The look of high-quality imitation jewelry today is almost identical to traditional gold/traditional temple jewelry, making it the perfect choice for weddings, receptions, engagements, and all festive occasions.
