The Punjabi Chooda

A quintessential part of a Punjabi bride's look, the chooda is a set of red and white/ivory bangles. Traditionally gifted by the bride's maternal uncle, it is a symbol of her newlywed status and is worn for a period after the wedding as a prayer for her husband's prosperity and long life.  

The Bengali Shakha Pola

A Bengali bride wears two special bangles: the Shakha, a white bangle carved from a conch shell, and the Pola, a red bangle made of red coral. These represent purity and marital bliss and are considered sacred symbols of a married woman's status.  

The Maharashtrian Green Bangles

In Maharashtra, brides wear green glass bangles in odd numbers on their wrists. The color green is a powerful symbol of fertility, new beginnings, and prosperity, making it a vital part of the bridal trousseau.  

The South Indian Gold Kadas

For brides in South India, gold is paramount. They adorn their wrists with a mix of thin gold bangles and thick, ornate gold kadas (cuffs). Gold symbolizes Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity, making these bangles a blessing for the new couple's future.  

 


 

How to Style Your Bangles: A Lovenspire Guide

Styling bangles is a joyful art form. Here’s how you can create the perfect look for any outfit and occasion.

1. Master the Art of Stacking

Stacking is the key to a contemporary yet traditional look. Don't be afraid to experiment!

  • Mix Metals: Combine gold-toned, silver-toned, and oxidized bangles for a modern, eclectic vibe.

  • Play with Texture: Stack smooth metal bangles with beaded, thread-wrapped, or intricately carved ones to add depth and interest.

  • Use 'Kadas' as Anchors: Place a thick kada (cuff-style bangle) at either end of your stack. This frames the smaller bangles and creates a more cohesive, polished look.

2. Perfect Pairings for Your Outfits

  • With Sarees: For heavy silk sarees like Kanjeevarams or Banarasis, opt for classic temple bangles or Kundan sets. For lighter chiffon or georgette sarees, a delicate set of CZ bangles or a simple stack of metal bangles works beautifully.  

  • With Lehengas: A bridal or festive lehenga calls for a grand statement. This is the perfect time to wear a full bridal chura or a broad set of Polki and Meenakari bangles that match the lehenga's embroidery.

  • With Salwar Kameez & Kurtis: For daily or office wear, a single elegant bracelet or a small set of 4-6 metal or glass bangles is perfect. For festive Anarkalis, you can opt for a more colorful and elaborate stack.

  • With Western Wear: Bring an ethnic touch to modern outfits by wearing a single, bold oxidized silver kada or a cuff bracelet with a dress or even a simple shirt and jeans.

3. Choosing by Occasion

  • Weddings: Go all out. This is the time for your most ornate, traditional, and extensive bangle sets.

  • Festivals: Be colorful and joyous. Mix and match glass, lac, and Meenakari bangles to reflect the celebratory mood.

  • Formal Parties: Choose elegance and sparkle. A sophisticated set of CZ or American Diamond bangles is the perfect choice.

  • Daily Wear: Prioritize comfort and durability. Simple metal bangles or a single bracelet are ideal.
