nother most crucial aspect of your bridal styling is the selection of the ideal head jewellery. Of all the other bridal accessories, the maang tikka and passa are the most distinctive due to their framing effects on the face and their general elevating effects on the bride. Both of them are lovely; however, they produce quite distinct styles. This is a little tutorial to assist you in choosing one that will best fit your face, dress, and wedding personality.
What Is a Maang Tikka?
Maang tikka is a traditional centre part headpiece which sits well on the forehead. It is put on by brides in India and suits nearly all bridal dresses. They are versatile and are timeless, as Maang tikkas are available in Kundan, Polki, pearl, temple and minimal modern designs. They suit perfectly those brides that value symmetry and prefer a more traditional, elegant appearance.
What Is a Passa?
Passa or jhoomar is worn on one side on the head- usually on the left side. It is cascading and layered and gives it a royal Mughal appearance. Passas are commonly found in Nikkah, Walima, and the vintage-based bridal designs. They make a very dramatic impact and go well with overly embroidered costumes and flashy make-up.
Which One Fits your Face Shape?
Maang tikka is an accessory that can fit almost all faces as it is placed in the middle and it provides balance. It is particularly effective when the face is round, heart-shaped or oval. Passa, however, is best worn on long or oval faces, whose sides fall and long shapes being in harmony with their natural formation. A pass can also be worn by round-face brides though smaller and lighter models are preferable.
Which One of These Bridal Outfits Suits You?
The maang tikka would be perfect in case the outfit is of a traditional or modern nature, i.e., lehenga, saree, or Indo-Western set. It is so easy that it suits with minimal or heavy jewellery. The passa is ideal in royal, vintage or Mughal-inspired bridal dresses. It goes well with shararas, Anarkalis, and bridal lehengas that are loaded with lots of bling.
Can You Wear Both Together?
Contemporary brides are fond of experimentations and a maang tikka, with passa, makes them look beautiful like queens. It is a perfect match with reception entries, photoshoots, or immensely adorned bridal dresses. The only thing to do is to ensure that detailing, colour tone, and craftsmanship of both works complement one another.
