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

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.

The Perfect Engagement Look – Indian Weddings

Hi guys,

Today we are talking about the perfect engagement look i.e. the makeup, hairstyle and the jewellery. Let me share a few engagement looks you can opt for:

1. Traditional Look

The traditional look would be the basic gold/bronze/copper eyes and a dash of green/purple/blue according to your outfit. Match it with a hot pink lipstick and soft curls for the hair. You can part hair at the centre for the maang tikka and add a nice necklace to finish the look. This look is perfect for a daytime engagement look. Also don’t forget to add false lashes, I had used them too! And they make a lot of difference.

2. Fun & Girly

If it’s a small ‘family only’ function and you are wearing a simple anarkali, you can go for neutral brown/gold eyes and soft peach lips. An updo with curls on the side would look great and a maang tikka with heavy statement earrings will finish the look. You can skip the necklace here as you don’t want the ‘over done’ look.

3. Boho Chic

For the modern boho bride, you can opt for a messy fishtail bride and accessorize it with a necklace. Soft brown eyeshadow, winged liner and matte red lips on the makeup front. Wear a bindi to finish the look. Polki necklace and earrings are the perfect match with this look.

4. Modern Evening Look

If you have a night time engagement cum party kind of a function. opt for a gown and a glamorous night time look is your best bet. A nice messy bun and smokey eyes with nude lips are perfect. Go for nice statement chandelier earrings and a cocktail statement ring.

Few things to keep in mind:

1. Don’t over spray your hair, it is quite visible and looks made up. I had gone for soft curls with a pouf and my hair is way too soft, I had to spray a lot to keep them in place and trust me, it doesn’t look good in person.

2. Contouring looks good in pictures but you would be meeting a lot of people personally, so don’t over contour, keep it very light and natural.

3. If you opt for false lashes, go for very natural looking ones and not too over sized or dramatic. Also make sure they are glued and stuck well, you don’t want them to come off in the midst of your function.

4. Nails, it will be all about your ring and the hands 😉 Well manicured nails with some pretty nail art and you will get amazing pictures. I went with the classic French manicure, coz I believe they look beautiful with the mehendi. You can also add rhinestones or some floral studs on the white French.

5. Bangles, this is the day when you go all out. They look pretty and complete your entire outfit and look beautifully.

6. You can also add a waist belt/jooda if you are wearing a saree or lehenga.

You can always mix and match the above looks, you need not stick to any single style. I had opted for tight curls with a pouf on top for my engagement. I did not go for a maang tikka but just necklace and earrings and of course lots of bangles. Makeup wise, I went with a mix of bronze and brown with hint of blue as my outfit was blue. Soft pink lips and a small bindi completed my look.

Three things that you must do for any look:

  • Dewy, highlighted skin
  • Filled eye brows
  • False Eyelashes

Rest is upto you and your outfit 🙂
