Our love for traditional South Indian bridal jewellery is approved by celebrities like Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor, who opted for antique South Indian jewellery for their wedding. We couldn’t take our eyes off Deepika Padukone’s temple jewellery for her Konkani-style wedding. We also loved Sonam Kapoor’s South Indian jewellery set, and its main attraction was the traditional necklace called guttapusalu haram. While we love taking inspiration from Bollywood celebrities, we know real-life brides who shopped for bridal South Indian jewellery at Tarinika and looked like the perfect quintessential bride.
If your wedding is just around the corner and you are browsing for South Indian jewellery designs, look no further since we have curated the ultimate guide to wearing bridal South Indian jewellery for your big day. We will help you choose the perfect bridal necklace, earrings or head accessories that suit your wedding outfit.
1. Classic South Indian Bridal Necklace for your Big Day
You can opt for various South Indian jewellery designs when choosing bridal necklaces for your wedding day. You can go for a Temple Lakshmi Haram like the Gayatri Antique Temple Long Necklace Set, a Guttapusalu Haram, or a Kasumala, also known as the coin necklace like the Nakshi Temple Antique Long Necklace Set to style with your Kanjivaram saree for a regal look. You can always layer multiple necklaces if you prefer maximalism in your bridal attire.
2. Graceful South Indian Earrings for a Divine Look
A South-Indian jewellery set is complete with a classic jhumka or a chaandbali. If you are layering your necklaces, we suggest you opt for the subtle Jalaja Antique Jhumka Earrings. The perfect length of these jhumka earrings will balance the opulence of the layered bridal necklaces. If you are wearing a sleek kasumala or a coin necklace for one of your wedding festivities, you can opt for the Premila Antique Earrings. These chandbali-style antique earrings will complement the elegant look of your Lakshmi-adorned coin necklace.
3. South - Indian Head Accessories to Adorn your Wedding Hairstyle
Bridal South Indian jewellery consists of hair accessories that can be worn on your wedding day as a part of your jewellery set, or you can wear it as a single accessory for other wedding functions like mehendi or haldi ceremony to accentuate your bridal outfit. If you style your hair in a bun for your mehendi ceremony, we suggest you style it with Chakrika Antique Maang Tika. You can wear this stunning piece all alone or pair it with an antique South Indian jewellery set that consists of a temple necklace and jhumka . For the wedding day, wear your thick locks in a pleated braid and adorn it with a classic Jada billa, also known as Jada Choti, which is a long hair brooch worn along the length of the braid.
4. Antique Wedding Bangles that you can Pass Down to Generations
If you want a piece of heritage jewellery in your bridal trousseau, you must consider purchasing the Ketaki Antique Temple Bangles. The classic bangles set will add to your wedding ensemble and complete your Bridal look.. We suggest you pair it with a hath-phool or intricate rings for a statement wedding look.
5. Classic Nakshi Style Waistbands to Accentuate your Wedding Attire
Whether wearing a traditional handloom saree or donning a beautiful lehenga set, we suggest you accentuate your wedding attire by adding a waistband to your outfit. You can opt for the stunning Mayurika Antique Waist Band that will look regal and elegant and signify bonding with your new family. At Tarinika, we understand the significance of a traditional Vadannam or a waist belt in your South Indian jewellery set. Therefore, we believe in customising the waistbelt as per your preferences.
6. Handcrafted Armlets for your Unique Wedding Look
Armlets or Baju Bandhs incorporate the famous South Indian jewellery designs of temple jewellery. These arm accessories are an essential part of traditional South Indian jewellery.

We love the intricate Laxmi motifs and the opulent Kempu stones that will enhance your wedding ensemble and complete your bridal South Indian jewellery set.
