I had no hathfool in my marriage, although I got them for my brother’s marriage
Wow they look pretty but if you love jewellery, it’s a superb thing. I don’t really believe jewellery is the need of the hour even at my wedding so avoided many of the above.
The jwellery pieces are beautiful. Most brides would love them. During my wedding I wanted to keep things simple and practical.
Indian brides are not complete without the beautiful jewelries (in my opinion).It adds shine and glamour to their special day.
Loved reading your post with perfect selection of photos for visuals.
