As Indian girls we’re all familiar with the gajra, we’ve seen it in movies, we’ve seen it on our elders and quite often we’ve even seen it being sold off at the traffic signals! Being overexposed to this traditional treasure, we often overlook it when dressing up for special occasions. For us, it is an old forgotten tradition, a common custom, a part of the old school ‘sola Shringar’. Or is it? Think again ladies, what is perhaps one of India’s most ancient hair accessories, has made a killer comeback! We’re sharing pictures of 9 brides that prove this floral accent is back like how…
#1 ‘The Tiered Tradition’
Check out the two tiered look, finished off with a dainty filigree bun pin!
#2 ‘The Simple Sensation’
This understated elegant look is simply-swoonworthy!
#3 ‘The Chic Coils’
Love this casual chic coil styled over loose braids for the mehendi.
#4 ‘The Center of Attraction’
This studded hair do accented with a central play of jasmine is simply stunning! Style yours similarly with a single flower standing out.
#5 ‘The Classy Cascade’
This bride adorned her hair with a classy cascade of fragrant tube roses, complimented with a dainty dangle!
#6 ‘The Layered Love’
mix it up like our lovely bride did, by adding a dash of pastel play with roses in her gajra glory. Don’t miss the pearl back blouse detail to compliment the white dainty gajra game!
#7 ‘The Beautifully Braided’
this stunning braid fully enraptured in an enticing gajra jaali, topped with fuller traditional gajras left us speechless!
#8 ‘The Side Swept’
The single sided do is eloquent beyond words – we’re certainly swept off our feet and head over heels in love.
#9 ‘The Double Decadence’
This bride simply bowled us over with her deadly decadent combination of a classic coiled braid on one side coupled with a tradition loose floral flair on the other!
So ladies what’re you waiting for, get in on the gajra action. Whatever remaining doubts you have about this statement accessory will be alleviated by bollywood’s fashion diva Sonam Kapoor flashing her own floral fab. And girls, her gajra game is absolutely on point! (proving the age old adage: when in doubt, look at bollywood!)
#10 ‘The Sonam Style’
This one needs no introduction 🙂
We’re officially #gaga for gajras! And now thanks to this, we’re sure so are you!
