However, a lot of modern-day Desi brides shy away from pure 22 kt. gold because of tacky designs and the ‘yellow’ hue. Here are some amazingly authentic yet modern bridal jewelry inspirations from India’s premier jewelry publication, Adorn magazine. We hope you’ll find some inspiration for your own trousseau!

“March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate women who struggled to unlock doors so that women today can open the doors and improve their lives. Experts now agree that helping to empower and educate women is an effective strategy to help fight poverty around that world.  Investing in an educated, healthy, skilled, and empowered girl today means she will have the tools to reinvest back into her family, her community, and our world….” (Jolkona)

Bipasha modeled an elegant yet funky lehenga with maroon and blue trimmings. She totally looked the part of a blushing bride with a handsome groom on her arms.

P.S. We love, love, love the pop of bright orangey-red on Bipasha’s lips!
