Top 10 Stylish Maang Tikka Designs For New Brides

In India, weddings are much like festivals and this festival goes on throughout the year. Now, being the bride at a wedding is the most difficult job. All eyes are on the bride and this day might never come again for the bride.

To make full of your day, you must make sure that your makeup is on point, your bridal dress/gown well fitted, and your jewellery must be in sync with your makeup and attire.

Maang tikka is an essential part of the whole bridal get up and a wrong maang tikka could spoil a bride’s complete look. Whatever the custom, tradition, or even the style of attire may be, there is always a great deal of space and requirement for a maang tikka.

1.Traditional Rajasthani maang tikka:

Also known as a borla, a traditional colourful Rajasthani tikka would go best with any bridal attire that has even a hint of Banarasi pattern or gotta Patti. There are different sizes and colours of borla available, therefore a bride to be can choose from a plethora of Rajasthani tikkas depending upon the colour of her rest of the jewellery and the shape of her face.

3.Matha Patti:

I started writing on this blog in November 2011, with a keen interest with Indian Ethnic Fashion, Since I didn't have any experience or could not get an entry-level position or an internship, I made the decision for blogging to demonstrate my writing talents as well as my love of Indian Ethnic fashion. I posted my Indian style ideas and suggestions that help others try something new and to have fun in their clothes, regardless of Size. I generally disagree with the fashion standards of most people and do not believe in wearing clothes that fit your body shape.
