With India ranking second among the most populated you can understand when every other day is a wedding day here ! Indians be like ‘kal uski shadi, pasrso uski mama ki beti ki shadi , narso uske chacha ke aunty ke cosuin ki shadi hai ! ‘ Phew !!! Am I complaining ? Hell no ! Free food and well dressed men women in sparkling outfits is a sight to the eyes , I love weddings. But we have the whose and whose wedding we are going to attend. With so many of them marrying we have several marriages to attend and dressing up for them would be a pain if you do not have the right accessories !
There is no doubt the most important part of getting dressed for attending a wedding is a dress but lets talk about all the other things which follow after the dress! It could be that cute little clutch or that glossy handbag that holds all our makeup and cell phones , or it could be the right lipstick or even the right accessories .
Make sure you understand the do’s and don’ts while dressing up for a wedding. It’s very important to choose the perfect purse and accessories which requires some thought beforehand so you don’t find yourself wishing you had made a different choice. Here I am listing the top eight must have’s for every woman to own to look her best at every wedding she is attending !
1. Clutch or a Potli :
Blingy clutches go hand in hand with an elegant and simple non blingy dress ! You are not the bride so remember not to wear an over the top dress and stop yourself from being a disaster like Divya Khosla !Clutches in bold black, studded clutches or clutches that are eye catchy make or break a look . Hence its very important you choose the right clutch while going out for a wedding!
The potli is in the trend now, the best thing about them is you don’t have to clutch them but let fall gracefully from your wrist ! I think Sonam Kapoor and Diya Mirza are two Bollywood beauties who other than Rekha Ma’am carry the Potli trend with ease !



2. Makeup - Go The Red way ! : By going the red way I don’t mean you to paint yourself into red from head to toe. But red is one color that will set you apart and give you the wedding wali feeling . Its okay to go nude when you are into too much bling but for those who keep it subtle a red lipstick or maybe red colored nails will add the required punch to your look altogether! You can also get a red bindi with the help of your red color sindoor liquid applier or ! My favorite red makeup outing is my NYX Amsterdam Lip cream !
3. Rings : Accessories add a unique touch to your whole outfit but even one too many can be over-the-top with an already-embellished heavy lehengas or Banaras sarees ! Hence a huge ring or four finger ring or a two finger ring will complete your look and grab a lot of eye balls !

4. Jhumkis : An Indian outfit is incomplete without a pair of earrings! If you are opting for a gown which is blingy then I suggest that be your only time to skip earrings or don’t skip even then , wear an ear cuff! Now that the guests at an Indian wedding are mostly seen in designer lehengas and heavy worked or sweet anarkali’s a pair of jhumkis add the needed beauty touch to your whole look! Invest in a good pair of gold Jhumkas or just get yourself some awesome pieces of jhumkas from artificial jewelry range!


5. Bangles or Bracelets : I always go wow when I see Deepika Padkone or Sonam wearing bangles with their sarees and ethnic wear ! Bangles beautify your hands but just remember not to over do it. Glass bangles, or simple gold kadas or a simple bracelet will work your look !


6. Shoes or Juttis: The right pair of shoes will complete your whole look . Just remember not to go hard on your feet by wearing uncomfortable heels or sky high wedges because a wedding means a lot of walking and standing! Also remember not to always match your footwear with your dress , you don't want to look too matchy-matchy. If you want to take the traditional route or the comfy route then you can simply opt for a pair of juttis ! :D


7. Mang Tika Or Nethi Chutti : Whoever said mang tikkas were only for the bride? gone are the days were only the bride was spotted adorning a mang tikka, thanks to our bollywood beauties who have got back in the trend! From Big pendant mang tikkas , to kundan and polki to pearly ones to single strand attached mang tikkas we have a plethora of choices ! Don’t shy away from trying them out , it’s the one thing that will set you apart from the others!

8. Flowers : Indian weddings are so much better than western wedding. The drama, the dresses, the music, the laughter and Yes the flowers ! no I am not talking about all the flower attractions in a wedding hall but the use of flowers by bride’s and all the guests attending the wedding. In south India I witnessed almost all women in their 40’s with mogra flowers around their buns . draped in a Banaras saree along with flowers adorned on their heads they make an elegant picture! As for those who want to try something new with the flowers you can wear them spun around your fishtail braids or even as a hand harness! Roses and lilies also can be used instead of mogra flowers.
Let me know if I missed anything in the comments or maybe you would like to add something to the must have list :)
Until Next time

Jewellery is something that women swear by! And hence just like clothing, jewellery is all about colors and intricate designing ! Be it imitation jewellery or precious metal and stone jewellery , Indian women are way too fond of all kinds of jewellery .
When it comes to jewellery Indian jewellery has no match in the world. Chand Balis, Traditional gold plated bangles and fusion bracelets with charm bangles , huge earrings and cuffs are a few pieces in which Indian women don’t think twice before investing money in. How many of you’ve heard that if you want to impress a woman buy her beautiful jewellery & accessories ? Well if you have heard something in the similar lines than you must have an idea how much jewellery means to women all over the world.
Artificial Kundan style jewellery or silver imitation jewellery sets are all in fashion these days because gold & platinum is not always affordable & imitation jewellery is something which one can stock up to match all of their clothes or styles ! Plus I remember my granny advising to never carry gold jewellery with us during long train journey’s as it is not safe and hence we always ended up wearing imitation jewellery which for one is not a bad thing :D So yes imitation jewellery or artificial jewellery is the next big thing which is trending among Indian girls !
Recently while I was browsing through the Flipkart’s jewellery section I came across a brand named ‘The Pari’ which sold beautiful creations. And after I checked out their whole collection I couldn’t help but drool at all of their products.The next thing that followed was a lot of shopping from their collection :D So it was jewellery shopping time for me also something over which I was guilt-free for not having spent a fortune over the next piece of jewelry!



The Pari has a wide range jewellery and make earrings, pendants, chokers, necklaces, rings, bracelets. Their packaging was good . Each product came well packed in brown custom made boxes. You can buy their products from either from Flipkart, snapdeal or from their website.


I bought 3 sets of bracelets which are droolworthy along with it I bought two pairs of earrings. These bronze earrings are my favorite and they match most of my ethnic kurtas and I have already worn them 6-7 times ! Yayy! The only con about them are that they a lil heavy . The next pair of earrings are light on the ears and a treat to the eyes ! I have these on my wishlist since I saw them on Priyanka Chopra and the moment I set my eyes on this I knew I had to buy something like this ! *teeheee*

I bought a two finger ring . This is an absolute favorite of mine. I’ll tell you a secret I ordered a purple two flower double ring but instead of that they sent me this starry beauty and guess what I am thankful this confusion took place ! I lurvvvvv ring *I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT* Along with it I bought a pink ruby toned unique ring which I love equally !

I am not a fan of cuffs and the only disappointment that came from The pari was this cuff. It discolored and turned bronze after a couple of outings.

I bought two necklaces in silver , each different from the other. They were purchased with the intent of gifting but on receiving them I fell in love with one of them and only one among them went into the gifting list ;)

And last of all I bought Gold plated bangles for my momma dearest and she is over the moon about them . So I guess they are good too :D the best buys were the stacked bracelets with charms in them ! I fell in love with these and now plan to buy more of them in other colors :D


Flipkart keeps running discounts and sales and this is the best time to shop from The pari and become the proud owners of great jewellery that doesn’t cost the sky. With such beautiful jewellery from brands we now surely can experiment with our looks and also complement them differently each time. So what are you waiting for? Just visit and shop for classy & unique pieces of jewellery at dirt-cheap prices now!
Until next time

In this recent post of ours, we already discussed how much we love jewelry and how we can never get enough of it!

Today we will be sharing with your some beautiful earrings which we Bling Sparklers got to haul on on a recent shopping venture to Commercial street(Bangalore).

Shivajinagar or Commercial street, is one of the hottest and biggest shopping streets of not only Bangalore but the whole of India. The collection and reasonable prices you get there cannot be found elsewhere so easily....you just have to know which shop to enter or which stall to shop from!

On eid-uz-Zuha, we Bling Sparklers got a chance to visit Shivajinagar and buy ourselves some jhumkis and jhoomars for our Eid outfits. As always the inevitable happened and we ended up lusting and buying more than we had ever intended too. Didn't click pictures of all things we bought but here are some pieces which we JUST couldn't resist clicking and sharing with you lovelies!

One thing we women can never get enough of is - jewelry!
