Gone are the days when wedding trousseau used to be extravagant and heavy with the weight of yellow gold jewellery and filled with a collection of only weighted occasion wear.
Today’s brides are redefining wedding jewellery with the intention of longevity beyond the celebration of the wedding week, without burning a hole in their pockets, and which is truly comfortable and easy to wear with no compromise on the trends.
If you’re a soon-to-be bride who is building a trousseau that is versatile and can be easily worn beyond the wedding celebration, here are a few must-have jewellery styles.
-
Statement Yet Lightweight Necklace
Unlike the massive, extravagant necklaces of the past, an elegant statement Kundan-Polki necklace would do wonders for your ensemble, no matter if you are attending a wedding or a close family dinner.
-
Minimal Bracelet Stack
All brides are expected to have their hands full (quite literally). For our new-age brides who are managing full-time work and a household by themselves, it is very comfortable to have their hands stacked with lightweight yet trendy styling bracelet stacks of minimal kundans or semi-precious stones.

Layered Diamond Necklace Set
A layered diamond necklace set can convert a simple outfit into an ensemble. By adding an extra touch of elegance to the look, the shine of those diamonds can easily add more glamour.

Statement Earrings
Be it Chandbalis, Jhumkis, or drop earrings, a pair of statement earrings is truly an essential in your bridal trousseau.

Lightweight chains
Layering multiple chains is still an ongoing trend loved by both millennials and Gen Z. The trend is also taking an ethnic approach, with modern-age brides layering minimal and chic chains with their mangalsutras to add a fashionable style to their newlywed look.
