Bridal Bangles - 50 Gorgeous And Elegant Bangle Sets Of All Time

Bridal bangles are an essential part of every bridal ensemble. They don’t just complete the whole bridal look, bridal bangles are steeped in Indian bridal traditions.An Indian bridal look essentially has 16 components which are called the solah shringaar and bangles are the most prominent of the lot. Bridal bangles come in different shapes, sizes, colours, patterns and materials, just the way you want them to be. You get a gazillion options to choose from when you actually set out to purchase your wedding set. Now, like I always say, every state in India has its own speciality when it comes to the wedding attire. So when it comes to the designs, you just can’t generalise.

Just in case you are confused about what type of bridal bangles to buy for your wedding, here are some options for you to choose from. Take a look.

1. Simple Punjabi Chura

A Punjabi chura is a set of red and white bridal bangles arranged together in a particular pattern. The thickness of the white bangles is more than that of the red bangles. Even though it is traditionally worn by Punjabi brides, these days brides from other cultures too add them to their wedding look as a fashion trend.

2. Bridal Bangles – Fancy Chura With Names And Added Glittery Bangles

Some brides prefer to add special custom-made bridal bangles to their chura with the names of the couple engraved on them. Along with them they add kadas which can either be of kundan or same white material, just in a thicker form with glitter.

8. Bold Gold Set

Colour is not always necessary when it comes to bangles. If your dress is going to have shades of gold, or a lot of gold work on it, then it doesn’t make sense to add colour to the bridal bangles set. Therefore, a set like this one goes best.

In many cultures across the world and especially in India, green is considered to be an auspicious colour when it comes to weddings. You will find many brides wearing a dress with a hint of green it. So how could we miss the green combination wedding bangles?

15. Danglers

Also known as kaleere, these danglers are a special part of a Punjabi bride’s chura.

Although more prominent in Punjabi weddings, these days brides from other cultures too like adding it to their set of wedding accessories.

They have no added colour and thus may seem a little too plain for an occasion such as a wedding but they can be beautifully made a part of a set of coloured bridal bangles – metal or glass – for the perfect look. Filigree design has the most unique ‘netted’ pattern.

23. Goan Wedding Bangles
