Indian wedding jewellery is all about opulence. Whether you choose to go all out or keep it minimal and understated, certain jewellery elements will certainly be an integral part of your look. One such crucial category of jewellery when dressing up as a bride are your bridal earrings. Your look will be incomplete and bland if earrings are missing. This is because earrings frame your face beautifully, bring attention to your face, lend a sense of completion and give you acupuncture benefits.
Apart from the visual benefits, it is believed earrings also ward off evil spirits and are a great way to enhance your bridal personality. The popularity of Indian bridal earrings has ensured that you have abundant options to choose from so you can pick something that suits your personality, budget and the look that you are aiming to achieve.

How to Choose the Right Bridal Earrings for Indian Weddings?
A pair of earrings can look great by themselves but for them to look exquisite on you, it is pertinent that you style them right by considering the following factors -
- Your outfit - When picking and choosing your earrings always consider your outfit and balance the two accordingly. When it comes to your bridal look, we suggest you always start with your jewellery as it is more expensive and the wear frequency is higher as compared to your outfit. For elaborate earrings, opt for outfits with lesser surface detailing. For simpler earrings you can opt for outfits with heavier embroidery.
- Your jewellery - Blend the bridal earrings well with your other bridal jewellery elements like your maang tikka and necklaces. There has to be some element of cohesiveness that brings all the pieces together.
- Face shape - Always consider your face shape, pick what has a flattering effect on you and makes you look the best version of yourself. Earrings are a hard to miss accessory so the bridal earrings should balance your face shape.
- Hairstyle - Balance your bridal earrings with your hairstyle. For example smaler, subtle pieces will get lost with open hair but will make their presence felt with a bun. So make sure you try a few different hairstyles to see what works with your chosen pair of Indian bridal earrings.
- Ease of Wear - One ends up wearing a bridal pair of earrings for long hours at a stretch on your wedding functions. So make sure you choose a comfortable pair which doesn’t weigh you down and isn’t painful because eventually it will show on your face. Always consider the weight of the earrings, make sure it doesn’t get tangled and isn’t poking you to cause any discomfort.
- Personal Style - Choose a pair that is synonymous with your personal style. It’s best not to get too experimental and opt for what represents you and your style statement.
- Budget - Always plan a budget for your wedding earrings. The market is flooded with options across different price points and you must choose what works for you.
