LAAL

Red and gold, the combination every bride reaches for, done here without going overboard. Deep red stones alternate with clear crystal along a gold necklace that sits close to the throat, each little cluster catching light from a different angle.

There is a tikka and earrings cut to match, so the look holds together from forehead to collarbone. Red like this is bridal by default, the natural pick for your own mehndi or nikah, though it also does the job as a wedding guest if you keep the rest of the outfit calmer. It photographs beautifully, the way red always does under warm reception lighting. A kundan-style bridal set built to carry a whole event.
