Rivaah Wedding Jewellery by Tanishq

Hi guys,

Day before yesterday I went to the Tanishq showroom to checkout the new Rivaah collection, which is the special bridal collection launched by Tanishq

Rivaah Wedding Jewellery by Tanishq, Rivaah Brides by Tanishq, Indian Fashion Blog

About Rivaah: Rivaah is an ode to the beautiful brides of India. As varied as the communities she hails from, the Indian bride looks absolutely resplendent in her wedding finery. Nurturing her hopes and dreams, and experiencing a myriad of emotions, she looks forward to her wedding day like no other, for this is the day she becomes one with her partner.

RIVAAH = RIWAAZ + VIVAAH

I love the name Rivaah, it is a combination (Sandhi in Sanskrit) of Riwaaz and Vivaah. They have rightly combined both ‘tradition’ and different types of ‘weddings’ in India, and brought together this special bridal collection catering to 13 different communities in India.

Doli & Swan Designs

They have kept in mind the traditions followed by the different communities and the signature wedding jewellery found in each community, for e.g. temple jewellery for South Indian brides, the jhalar design for Bengali brides, etc.,

Different communities they have covered:

  • Gujurati
  • Bengali
  • Bihari
  • Marathi
  • Kannada
  • Malayali
  • Marwari
  • Oriya
  • Punjabi
  • Rajasthani
  • Sikh
  • Tamil
  • Telugu

So whether you are a Bengali Bodhu or Gujurati Vadhu or a Punjabi Lari, and any kind of wedding jewellery you are looking for, you will find them all here.

Entire Bengali Trousseau

Also they have quite a few contemporary designs like swan and peacock, a doli bidai procession, dhol, etc., And a beautiful mix of uncut diamonds and gems with gold base for the modern bride.

The jadau and kundan sets are breathtaking, I absolutely loved the two I tried.

They have also covered every bridal function from mehendi to sangeet to the wedding and reception, and you will find a lot of pieces for each function from light to heavy.

As the wedding season is approaching, if you are a bride-to-be, I would definitely suggest checking out the new Rivaah collection by Tanishq as they have a perfect mix of trendy and classic bridal jewellery and the collection has something for every bride out there.

And no, these are not the pieces that you will just wear once and then would stay in the lockers forever, post your wedding. These are something which you can style in so many ways and wear for many different occasions.

Like this necklace I have worn here, is perfect for your cocktail or reception, but you can wear it again with an indo-western fusion outfit or a gown for your close friend or family wedding reception or cocktail. A royal wedding, a red carpet, would work everywhere. Even the gold pieces with detailed enamel work, can be paired with indo western outfits. You can wear just the earrings too for post wedding family dinners, etc.

They also have a beautiful collection of bangles and rings which you can mix and match with a lot of outfits.

There were so many pieces to choose from, I could only capture a few. I suggest going to your nearest Tanishq store and checking out the entire collection for yourself.

#WeddingDiaries & My Idea of Untraditional Wedding Twists

Hi guys,

I did a video with TBZ recently as a part of #WeddingDiaries where we shot a small video talking about weddings & the untraditional bride & her untraditional wedding twists.

Let me tell you little more about the Wedding Diaries

Wedding Diaries inculcates the view of the modern bride while still keeping the rituals and traditions intact. It is about the new-age bride who likes to have fun, plan her wedding, takes major decisions of her life, is independent while still being romantic. While she stands up for her own self and rights, she is not rebellious. Lastly, a woman who loves jewellery.

Don’t we all love jewellery and relate to the modern bride described above?! While I got married last year, I definitely relate to this modern new-age bride who wants to balance both things and likes a mix of both the worlds.

Of course we all want or would have liked something untraditional or different in our weddings. For me personally, I like to keep the wedding affair private and would have loved to have spent my special day with only my close friends and family. But you know as the norm goes, the entire extended families and age-old friends and family friends are invited, some are invited just because they invited our families when their son/daughter got married.

This is something I do not really relate to, though I convinced my parents to keep it short somehow but still the number of people were not very less. While I know of friends who have had weddings which more than 1000 people attended. That gets a bit too much, the bride and the groom themselves do not know half of the people.

I recollect one such incident from my own wedding, where an uncle came and gave us a bouquet, clicked a picture with us and was congratulating and saying some random things while we both were thinking he is from the opposite side and when he went, I asked my husband who he is and he said he thought the uncle was from our side 😀 Yes, such incidents are common when the wedding involves too many people.

Also spending lakhs and lakhs and having a grand reception, etc. is also something I do not relate to and thankfully both sides of parents agreed with us on this. We went for a good, long honeymoon and we would rather spend on a nice holiday than a reception.

Some other fun, untraditional wedding takes would be like the bride coming on a ghodi and wearing a pheta or something like that 😀

How to decide upon Indian bridal trousseau and jewellery

A lot of effort goes in wedding preparations, especially in India. Apart from the event preparations, the bride takes extra effort to decide upon her wedding trousseau and the jewellery which she will wear on the wedding day.

Considering the wedding is once in a lifetime affair, people have known to go extra lengths to make it special and grand. Go through these guidelines and make the right decision when it comes to deciding upon the wedding jewellery and trousseau which match with each other quite well.

Jadtar (Kundan) Set

Wedding is a very special occasion that requires the bride to look not only very beautiful but best as well. An Indian wedding requires the bride to be dressed up in fine apparel and in the best of jewellery, usually made of precious metals such as gold, platinum, and silver and so on. Apart from this, the jewellery worn could be encrusted with precious and semi precious stones such as diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires to name the popular ones. Amongst the wedding preparations, shopping for the bridal trousseau and accessories does take up most of the effort and time.

How to decide on what to wear on your wedding day?

White Gold and Diamond Set

There are great deals of factors that need to be discussed when deciding the wedding attire. The attire has to match with the partner’s wedding dress and the wedding theme in general. Along with the cost factor, the time of the year and location of the wedding does seem important. If it’s a summer wedding, it would best to wear light wedding attire comprising of lightweight chiffons, georgettes, crepes and other flowing materials. In case of a winter wedding, the wedding attire could comprise of silks in varied varieties such as raw silk, tussar, pure silk along with heavy brocade borders and so on.

Similarly, the wedding trousseau gets influenced by the colours of the season. For instance, it’s the pastels and bright summer shades which are preferred during the summer while winter calls for rich colours with darker hues giving a feeling of coziness and warmth.

Consequently, the jewellery is determined, which gives a great final look to the bride. When deciding upon the jewellery, gold and diamond are extremely popular and preferred. In fact, gold jewellery is often given to the bride by her parents as well as those of the groom. Apart from that, Indian bridal jewellery also comprises of jewellery sets in regional themes such as Jadtar sets, Kundan sets, Thewa sets and so on.

Gone are the days when people used to visit a traditional jeweler or request a home visit from a traditional jeweler and spend hours together deciding upon the ornaments design and final look. Today, you can look forward to shop online for jewellery and placed a customised order as well. With a plethora of branded jewellery stores having an online presence, you can browse through the umpteen collections on offer before you shop for one.

If you have found a couple of ornament pieces of your liking, you could even request for a physical inspection of the same at a store located near to your residence. Also, check out on their customer service, exchange and return policy too. You also need to make sure they provide an accurate bill relating to your purchase mentioning the exact details of your piece of jewellery including the weight, purity and carat details of the metals and the precious stones used. At the same time, you can also ask for customer testimonials which could add more weight to their reputation too. On the overall, purchasing jewellery online is quite safe and reliable too.

I would suggest going for kundan or jadtar sets in yellow gold for the main wedding function if you are a Punjabi or a Gujurati bride,temple jewellery for something with raw silk sarees,etc. i.e. if you are a South Indian bride and the white gold and diamond sets for the reception/cocktail with a gown or an Ind0-western wear for everyone 🙂
