SHEESH PATTI / MATHA PATTI

Brides and bridesmaids looking to pair their wedding event attire with the best classic jewelry in 2023 should definitely opt for intricately designed Shheshpattis/Matha pattis.

Sheeshpattis have significantly surpassed the trend of maang tika as a popular option among the modern brides. This headgear has been introduced as an important wedding accessory since time immemorial, but it is only now that they have become the raging choice, with brides obsessing over it since the Anushka-Virat wedding. They give the much-needed drama to an Indian bride's bridal flare. We know that the trend is not leaving the list of wedding jewelry obsessions anytime soon.

STUNNING NATH DESIGNS-

A mere hoop latched around the nose accentuates a bride’s facial features in a way nothing else could. It’s almost as if the bride’s face looks incomplete without it. 2023 is going to witness some gorgeous nath designs that are minimal, yet exude a certain old-world charm to the face.

Brides have had a special place in their hearts for Kundan Naths. They complement any color of bridal attire as they are extremely adaptable- the reason why they never go out of style. Oversized Kundan Naths are jumping on the bandwagon as well, with brides relying on them to do all the talking for their wedding look.
