Oh man, there's just something about weddings- no matter what religion/country, that each have their certain features that is just oh so endearing and I'd just love to have it all😭

Okay, so take Hindu weddings. There's a lot of things to love, but my fav? The sindoor, because it's just so so intimate and like- some people say that if some of that red powder falls on your nose, it means that your husband loves you very much 😭😭😭😭 oh not to mention, I saw some guy touching his forehead with his brides to apply the sindoor and I just- 🫠

Then take Muslim weddings, and like yes, indo obviously love the whole "mehr" thing, but it's always so adorable to see what the bride asks for her mehr (which is often money, but not always. Some brides ask for a kitten, a trip, or even a verse from Quran)🩷🩷🩷 and also the first halal hug- oh its just so heartwarming to see the way the groom embraces his bride in his arms with the utmost carr, maybe a peck on the forehead if they're into PDA.

And then there's catholic weddings, where they do the vows- "in sickness and in health" omg😭 and and the bride wearing something "blue, borrowed" etc that's cute too- BUT ALSO THE "ANYONE HAS ANY OBJECTIONS?" omg I would die if some (handsome and wanted) guy did actually object to my matrimony.

But apart from religious weddings, I also love everyone's traditions- I saw a video of Hunza people in Pakistan, where the couple make rotis (bread) together to signify the bond of their relationship- teamwork.

I know some of u guys would LOVE this- in Roma weddings, the guy kidnaps the girl of his liking (as far as I know, the guy already has the blessings and permission from the girl's parents) and then after negotiations, a wedding happens.

*gasps* I JUST REMEMBERED when I was little I used to watch Indian soap dramas and I was so jealous when I found out that not everyone does that ceremony where there's a bowl of milk with rose petals in it, and they drop a ring in it for the bride and groom to find and whoever finds it first, will mean that that person will be more dominant in the relationship- and EVERY SINGKE TIME THE GUY WOULD FIND THE RING FIRST BUT DISCREETLY PASS IT TO HIS WIFE SO THAT SHE COULD BE THE WINNER ONGGGGG

And then the Arab countries just practically frowning the bride in gold and money... I like that very much.

Wait omg I remember that Pakistanis have these GRAND welcome for the new bride in their home. I mean, first the groom brings her home in a fancy car or something, then the entire house is lit up with fairy lights and then they do FIREWORKS 😭😭

And in Indian, Pakistani, Bengali weddings, there's the henna tattoo ceremonies, and I love that so much, maybe because I grew up watching bollywood and desi shows, so I'm just gonna say they have amazing weddings.

*sniffle* I get it- I get why women dream of their weddings all their life.

hii, I hope you are doing well. if you are taking requests, can you write something reader x ninja. where it's the reader's birthday, and they do small affectionate things to celebrate her? it can be hcs or a small drabble. it's actually my birthday, so this prompt would be perfect. thank youuu✨️

˗ˏˋ ꒰ 💌 ꒱ birthday edition, ninja┊ ˚➶ ｡˚ ☁️

  ୧ ⎯⎯ SYNOPSIS ;; what do the ninja do on your birthday? [feat. the ninja and pixal + three extra ]

  ୧ ⎯⎯ WARNINGS ;; profanity ;; written incredibly platonic ;; some silly goofy things ;; reader leans female but majority gender neutral ;; some slight angst

  ୧ ⎯⎯ NOTES ;; happy belated birthday <33 fun fact, it was also my dog's birthday. also, kai being so big brother and excited to celebrate someone's birthday is so true

  ୧ ⎯⎯ ZANE JULIEN

#✧ zane told everyone the night before (after you vanished for a while) that it was your birthday today. but with the way he so casual woke up on your birthday, at the usual times he did and everything, it took you a good minute to realise, hey. i'm old today.

#✧ and being the wonderful nindroid he was he made you several little trinkets, from a little charm of your element to several badges of things you like– because, well you're the only ninja missing them on your gi (he and jay made them for everyone and disrupted them on each person's birthday). but the moment he saw cole scheming something, zane held back on gifting it to you.

#✧ so to make up for it, he turned into a brother (kai probably coded it into him) and showed you small affections through the day. ruffling your hair, patting you on the back, hugging, everything. not that he doesn't on a daily basis, he's a little less expressive normally.

  ୧ ⎯⎯ COLE BROOKSTONE

#✧ he remembered it was your birthday, yes but the hard part was what to get you. he opted for something easy and simple, cake. and because he had so often bought cake (for himself a lot of the time), you didn't quite suspect him getting it for you when you saw the box in the fridge, pushed to the back. cole got you a small one in your favourite flavour and colour, with “happy birthday, [name]” written in cursive on the top in your gi's colour. the sun had barely risen at the time when he got it.

#✧ that was when it hit him, whilr driving back home from the store, that they should have a small party at night. so to be a substitute for now giving you a gift throughout the day, he decided to (harmlessly) use dad jokes on you. (and it's the bad ones to.)

#✧ when you finally show up for morning training, he's the first (after zane) to wish you. engulfing you in the warmest and biggest dad hug of the damn century with the silliness jokes and laughter as he wishes you.

  ୧ ⎯⎯ KAI JIANG

[ HEADCANNON ;; kai is half indian (maya's side) and half chinese (ray's side). and if you ever met an indian, if it's not real gold or diamond– then what you doing?? ]

#✧ nya held him back for the while —swapping with zane to hug you herself— everyone was wishing you; because he was going to brother hug knock you out. (figuratively, literally: he was not going to let anyone wish you because he'd be too hyper to function properly, like usual on someone's birthday.)

#✧ something something he definitely bought you gold jewelry, something simple like earrings, a nose ring or a simple necklace. and kai spent no worry to have expensive it would be to get it custom made, he literally had it made like a whole half year and and a few months in advance before your birthday.

#✧ but since cole had the plan of the party, he substituted to annoying your guts instead of gifting you the jewelry. safe to say that it was your villain origin story...

  ୧ ⎯⎯ NYA JIANG

[ HEADCANNON ;; nya is half indian (maya's side) and half chinese (ray's side). ]

#✧ the moment she hugged you, she might have broken your back–

#✧ like kai, she got you some jewelry custom made for you, a matching set with what he got but it's distinct enough to be something she got you and stand on its own. she had to made towards the end of the previous year when she, zane and pixal go to buy everyone's gifts for the next year.

#✧ but for the time being, she and lloyd at some point (he was too because it pay back for last year when they did the same thing for a while week before and after his birthday) were helping you hide away from kai and cole being absolute menaces to your sanity. but it's all in good fun, shows it gonna be a good day.

  ୧ ⎯⎯ JAY WALKER

#✧ one of the two people that forgot it was your birthday, despite the fact he was finishing up the whole ass bike for a whole ass year was quite literally your birthday gift. jay didn't have a very good memory (it doesn't even come near to rivaling wu's though) and when he did realise, boy appeared next to you immediately while apologizing for forgetting and wishing you. he may have short circuited a little when he used his element to speed himself up so he could hightail it from the junkyard to the monastery.

#✧ on the topic of the gift, he was working on it at his parents' junkyard instead at the monastery because it was so much easier to hide it in the junkyard. throw some tarps and cover it up with some junk and you got it.

#✧ but being the loving brother he is, he sat back and watched you wreck your brains over the terrible dad jokes and annoying shit kai was pulling, stepping in to annoy you even more at some point before he disappeared to go and get the damn bike.

  ୧ ⎯⎯ LLOYD M. GARMADON

#✧ he forgot, but it was expected. he never really cared for birthdays —darkley's never celebrated him and they only matter when he joined the ninja— and he has the worst memory —caused by his seasons worth of trauma— so the moment he remembered, he pulled you to the side and apologized for wishing you so late (that being towards midday) and not getting you a gift (that is a LIE. he hoards so much that he definitely has a gift to give, no matter the occasion.)

#✧ teams up with nya to protect you from kai and cole because it's his revenge for last year (september is his hell, because of his birthday), though it is after he finds an acceptable gift to give you. he figures one of his trillion handmade bracelets (a coping mechanism) can work so he finds a little box and wrapping paper in someone's room and stuffs the paper in the box and puts the bracelet on it and asks nya to keep it with her.

#✧ is the most little shit ever, helping you prank the hell out of kai, cole and occasionally jay back. from dropping water on them to scaring the hell out of them and all the stops. at some point, he drags you and nya to play video games while they get reprimanded by wu. (being wu's gets him out of a trouble.)

  ୧ ⎯⎯ PIXAL

#✧ girl showed up a little earlier than the time of the party with a whole ass basket of snacks and foods she thought you'd like. hands it to you and when you return from hiding it from lloyd, she drags you out and takes you out on her samurai x mech for a bit, flying around the city with you in the mech's hands, nya tagged along on the mech's back.

#✧ she big sister's you so sweetly, talking about all of the random shit with nya. it's honestly a cute experience, and really homely and nostalgic of back when you were with your friends as a kid and before you became a ninja.

#✧ takes you to above ninjago city, on the top of borg tower and then to the quieter streets by the port where they took you out to eat at some stall (like an all girl thing.)

  ୧ ⎯⎯ WU

#✧ his gift was literally just no training– but in all seriousness, he had a small something to gift to you. he usually gifts the same thing to everyone, but it is personalized to each person. and no one still knows what he's gifted them, so, it's a mystery. (lloyd is praying it's not some clue to the next conflict.)

#✧ he's laughing with zane as he watches his students annoying you, at some point he playfully reprimands them before letting them go to set up the party after pixal and nya take you out for a while, helping them sort the banner pixal brought with her for the party that read “happy birthday [name]!”.

#✧ he's watching over them with his brother and sister-in-law beside him as the boys mess around and set up the little party.

  ୧ ⎯⎯ GARMADON

[ for plot purposes, he's sensei g. not lord nor emperor g. ]

#✧ man is having a ball while watching the boys annoy you, he dropped in once (multiple times) to casually slide in some embarrassing comment and single-handed wiping everyone out by turning them red. he's here for a fun time and apparently a long one too. but he's a sweet old guy who just showing affection for his uh- nth child.

#✧ garmadon, being the dad he is, most likely got you something silly that you and him have an inside joke on (he has atleast one inside joke with all the ninja and pixal). he had gotten it a long while before your birthday, that or he got his hands on something that you were dying to get but either it sold out or was no longer being made.

#✧ when he wished you, he probably pulled you into a hug that dad's give (safe and comforting, warm and protective, all at once) and tells you how proud he is of you, that you're still around and breathing, pushing on and how much he loves and cares for you.

the wind felt nice; despite the night breeze being so cold, it felt good against your skin as you sat securely in the samurai x mech's hands, listening to pixal and nya ramble as the nindroid flew you three in back to the monastery. the lights were dim in the courtyard and the only light was from inside, not to mention it was quiet– too quiet...

“guys– it's too quiet,” you mumble back to the ladies wking beside you, stopping as you pull the water ninja's sleeve to get their attention. nya shoots you a firm look, noting it herself while pixal looks around before looking at you.

she shakes her head slowly, “my scanners say there is no danger.”

reluctantly you nod, but trusting in her eyes and judgment. they both continue walking in, nya taking your hand in hers gently and tugging you along softly as she smiles warmly with comforting eyes. “there's nothing to worry about, don't worry, okay?”

“..okay.”

you walk in beside nya, tensing the moment someone covers you eyes and everywhere darkens for a moment before the light returns and pixal's squeezing your shoulders lightly.

“surprise!” they all say as everyone beams at you. there's curly ribbons in your colours (your gi and favourite colours mixed in them), the banner looks beautiful, there's little presents in different boxes behind the small cake. you swear you're about to cry when you realise that hey, this is for you.

it's been hell, and no one's actually celebrated their birthday for a hell of a long time before the conflict and missions you held as the ninja; ninjago's protectors. you say quiet for a moment to properly register it, the fact you're alive and loved. it a sweet feeling, giddy.

“thanks guys,” you say after a while, hugging pixal, who's hugging you from behind, back with an appreciation tone and smile. “thank you guys so much.”

“c'mon, kai, light the candles; we have one more embarrassing thing to do. and there's sing happy birthday,” jay laughs pulling you over to the cake, with a comforting smile, as he sits you down in front of it.

oh fuck. you're screwed now.

  ୧ ⎯⎯ MORRO WU

[ for plot purposes, this is in the past before morro died. he fleed the monastery and found another elemental master and you two stuck together, meaning he's alive to atleast see his teenage to adulthood years, depends on your age. you're the same age ]

#✧ morro is probably the only one who doesn't get you a gift, but he wishes you surprisingly heartfelt. it's the one time he hugs you and says something soft and sweet– the complete opposite of him normally.

#✧ your birthday is the one day that he and you goof off on. you're jumping into a lake together and play fighting together, stealing sweets and some food and he's sneakily taken a cupcake and candle to celebrate you a little bit. he probably steals a necklace or bracelet he thinks you might like and gifts you it.

#✧ overall, it's really sweet the way he worries for you and actually celebrates your birthday, taking out his time to give you something worth remembering unlike the other days and his own birthday (one of which he refuses to celebrate, and you respect his wish despite being who started the birthday cupcake tradition and upholding it every year.)

  ୧ ⎯⎯ NOTES ;; morro unfortunately gets no drabble– i wrote too much already. this was the first time i wrote for anyone but lloyd and morro's part is my favourite!

. ˚◞꒰personality꒱

𖹭. serene, elegant and above all has a rather calm exterior. always seems rather free-spirited

𖹭. kind-hearted and a compassionate being who seems sweet in nature. a being of wisdom despite his youthful countenance

𖹭. graceful, composed and has a certain effortlessness in everything that he does. a particular cool confidence even in that sweet smile of his

𖹭. has a certain charm to him and a charisma that has many head turning

𖹭.particularly dutiful and takes his responsibilities with pride

𖹭. do not be fooled, because behind that kind façade he can be especially deceptive. with a silver tongue and wit that one wouldn’t expect from such a kind looking face

𖹭. lets people believe that he is harmless and mistake his kindness for weakness. beings of corruption quake in his presence; for they know that behind those eyes of an angel lies a devil

𖹭. has a curiosity that he doesn’t always show and a certain yearning for the unknown

𖹭. behind that angelic smile and justice-seeking front, lies quite the cunning angel with a darker side he tries to hide. with twisted desires he is often ashamed of

𖹭. will fluster you at any point that he can. especially with his seemingly unintentional flirting. also lots of shameless touches. will cup your face and kiss you breathless until you’re whining for him

𖹭. dances you around the balcony of his citadel or stargazes with you whenever he has the chance

𖹭. always sure to bring you something back from the vast worlds and realms he travels to, as he is ever the type to spoil you

𖹭. can be quite possessive as a result of being alone for so long. should he feel as though someone is getting a bit too close for comfort, he has a habit of snatching your waist from behind and pressing kisses to your neck all while keeping eye contact with the perpetrator — or perhaps getting you to wear some of his signature jewellery

𖹭. wings: has a pair of wings that enable him to fly and can use them in combat

𖹭. pájaro luminoso: able to channel his powers into a burst of energy and turn into a large, elegant bird made of pure elemental light and fire

𖹭. dark magic: as he is a being of light, he is extremely susceptible to such things as dark and black magic. it weakens his abilities depending on the severity of it

𖹭. corrupt beings: similar to the dark magic point, corrupt beings tend to put his soul at unease. should these corrupt beings be of higher power to him, they can affect him in very negative ways and weaken his abilities

. ˚◞꒰relationships꒱

𖹭. zhào jìngyí: ward, boyfriend ( future )

𖹭. alessio agresta arias: ward, boyfriend ( future )

𖹭. copper resentment ( zhào talisen 164 ): close friend

𖹭. emerald mania ( alessio agresta 164 ): close friend

𖹭. talisen zhào: close friend ( earth 781)

𖹭. nadir gods: parents ( raised him )

𖹭. some zenith gods: parents ( raised him )

. ˚◞꒰story꒱

a glitch.

the favourite of the gods; raised by the hands of the divine — that is what makes our beloved angel, rishen, stand out. a high angel who carries out his duties with a smile of serenity. be he aiding the gods personally or sent out on missions across the multiverse.

an exceptional swordsman who only continues to grow in skill. a being of duty who works his way through admiral ranks, despite great critique. all while balancing his duties as a guardian angel to his would-be fated others.

an angel who yearns not only for love but for the truth of the underworld around him. secrets and mysteries he continues to uncover. a feeling in his chest that feels all to tight. buried by his incessant urge to protect and carry out his responsibilities.

yet beneath all those glimmers and smiles of kindness dwells a creature even he himself does not recognise. a swell of darkness that gnaws at his soul. bleeding out into his sharp smiles and eyes stares. a true devil in angel’s robes.

. ˚◞꒰extra꒱

𖹭. while he is not able to directly interact with the material plane, he can do so by taking on the form of certain animals — usually takes the form of a snow tit

𖹭. he is genderfluid and plays into this by swapping through different genders’ anatomy. his natural androgyny helps a lot with this

𖹭. he is omnilingual yet prefers the language of his cultures: spanish ( latin american ), hindi and tamil

𖹭. due to his pure nature and closeness to the gods, he is often sought out by evil beings who seek to turn him

𖹭. this however does not mean that rishen does not have his own dark thoughts, he has plenty yet tries to keep them to himself

What a Difference a Dey Makes.

Helen Lisa O’Day had long suspected her husband Robert of dressing up in her clothes when she was away from home going to her job as a state wide substitute teacher, other than the pitting out of them sometimes she didn’t mind. She supposed it made him happy that was fine with her. She just wished he felt comfortable enough with himself to tell her.

Helen, however, figured that after she had gone to the remarkable shop owned by three women from India who sold clothing that somehow turned their western clients into Indian women.

So after taking their month-long `give it a try’ challenge Helen Lisa O’Day, a substitute teacher born in Salem, Massachusetts found herself changed into someone who could now only think of herself as Heera Leesha O’day of Salem, Tamil Nadu State, India, that it was the end of Robert’s cross-dressing, at least with her clothes.

Remarkably excepting of her fantastic transformation (helped by an embroidered pillow cover the sisters sold that "helps those not changed to accept those who have. ")  Robert was, however,  continuously going on about “how do you deal with all that...wrapping?” he would say, “you just have to practice,” Heera would reply.

Then Heera Leesha found a new occupation working for You Are What You Ware as a Precious metal jewelry designer making the type of gold and silver jewelry the newly minted Bhārata women coming out of the five shops now owned by the Sharma sisters seemed to all love.

Her new job took her away from home even more now, just as it had for the last week with her returning late on a Friday; she did not think she would have to worry about any of her new clothing being pitted out due to Roberts's intimidation of “all that wrapping and draping.”

“Hello dear, I’m back,” said Heera, sure to use English as Robert spoke not a word of the Tamil she now spoke fluently, as well as her old English, though now flavored with a pronounced Tamil accent.

“Vaṇakkam” (hello) “Nāṉ oppukkoḷḷa vēṇṭum” (I have to confess) said a high-pitched woman’s voice in Tamil. That was when a petite young woman wearing one of her dresses presented herself. A woman whose face still bore a semblance to her husband Robert., if that is, he had been a woman born much further East than his original New Jersey.

“I can guess what that confession is,” said Heera thinking that at least now Robert would not be pitting out her new dresses; her new clothing had shrunk him to fit them.

A month later, Robert, on he and Heera finding that no, there was no going back, was set up as the new Rohana Dey. Heera even gifted the new woman with a striking gold and ruby nath nose ring to say well, here we are now.

The expectation was that Rohana would go to You Are What You Wear to be fully outfitted for her new self.

Instead, she surprised Heera by going to her old tailor she had used when she had been Robert.

There she got five new suits made to fit her new form. “I am a computer programmer,” she said, “and this is how I dress when I’m working; the other things are just for fun.”

Rohana Dey, however, wore her nath when suited up. “it works for me,” she said.

SHOP THE LATEST TRENDS ON BRIDAL JEWELLERY

“ Bridal Jewellery is a mix of ethnic and an aesthetic part of a wedding in India. 

It enhances one’s beauty by an elegant set .”

 The Indian wedding is celebrated in a unique way owing to their tradition and reflects the cultural diversity of our country. 

         The occasion of marriage is a special one for any woman and it signifies a highly sacred bond. An Indian woman regards the day of her marriage as the most crucial day in her life. To make this memorable day perfect, preparations go on for  months in an Indian family. An Indian bride is usually enhanced from head to toe in beautiful jewellery that compliments her attire and her personality.

          Over the years, traditions and cultures have enlarged but bridal jewellery still plays a vital role in Indian weddings. The bridal embroidery has an individual representation for each accessory.

Typically, an Indian bride uses the following ornaments:

Maang Tikka or tiara

 The tiara, called the Maang Tikka in Hindi. It is supposed to protect her from evil eyes and negative energy. They are now available in different styles and colors. Usually, for bridal wear, a Maangtika with a decorative centerpiece is preferred, with a long string.

Hair accessories

 In Today’s times,  The use of hair accessories is becoming the latest trend. The hair accessories should  interrelate with the attire of the bride. If the bride’s dress is studded with diamonds, hair accessories coats with diamonds can be used. Pearl headgear and silver hairpins are also in trend in the fashion world. 

Earrings

 Earrings are available in every feasible style and colours. They range from small, delicate ones to trailing, heavy ones. Earrings are available in different metals and using different gemstones or pearls. Brides typically wear earrings that are attached 

to a chain, which is hooked in the hair.

Nose rings

Basically, called ‘Nath’ in Hindi. The nose ring traditionally worn by Indian brides is in the form of a ring, which is attached to a chain that is hooked in the hair. With the latest trends, the nose ring is also sustaining a change and it is available in different styles.

Necklace

In today’s times, the necklace is the most adaptable piece of bridal jewellery and it is available in a variety of styles and colors. According to fashion experts, a long necklace would look good with a deep neck, while a choker would suit a smaller neckline.

Armbands

 An armband is called ‘Bajubandh’ in Hindi. It is also a versatile piece of bridal jewellery, which is worn on the upper part of the arms.

Bangles

  In today's market, bangles are one of the most significant parts of a bride’s attire. A variety of bangles made of different metals and studded with different gemstones and pearls is available. Nowadays, bracelets are becoming popular as bridal wear.

Finger rings

Finger rings are also one of the most necessary pieces of bridal jewellery. There are a number of styles available in the market in case of rings. Like other jewels, rings are also available in different metals, colors and gemstones. Basicy, finger rings are worn on the ring fingers as per the choice of the bride.

Nowadays, Fancy ornaments made of colourful metals have gained more priority than those made of gold and silver. The most popular metals used for making bridal jewellery include platinum, gold and silver in today’s times. However, keeping in view the variation in demand and people’s affection for attractive designs with shimmery effect, strategies like kundan, lac and jadau have also come in trend and are widely used for making bridal pieces in all parts of India.

If we keep only the traditional Indian jewellery in mind, then it is mainly made up of gold. One of the primary reasons behind this is the fate of the people in the fortunate ethics of the metal for such grand events of life like a marriage ceremony.

Nevertheless, in view of the  variation of desire to the people, brides normally go for mixed metal jewelery by making alterations as per their attire and choice.

<h1>A Tapestry of Tradition: The Maharashrian Bride's Saree</h1>

A Tapestry of Tradition: The Maharashrian Bride's Saree

The grandeur of an Indian wedding is unparalleled, each ceremony a symphony of vibrant colors, rich traditions, and exquisite attire. In Maharashtra, the heart of Western India, the bride takes center stage adorned in a saree that epitomizes elegance, tradition, and a touch of modern flair. This article delves into the world of the Maharashrian bride's saree, exploring its historical significance, intricate designs, vibrant colors, and the unique elements that make it a symbol of cultural pride.

A Heritage Woven in Silk

The Maharashrian bride's saree, traditionally known as the 'Nauvari Saree', is a testament to the state's rich cultural heritage. Its origins can be traced back to the Maratha Empire, where the saree was a functional and elegant attire for women. The word "Nauvari" signifies its unique draping style - nine yards of fabric elegantly crafted into a graceful ensemble. The fabric of choice, often silk or cotton, exudes a sense of opulence and refinement.

The Art of Draping: A Distinctive Style

The draping style of the Nauvari Saree is one of its most distinctive features, setting it apart from other Indian saree styles. The saree is draped around the waist, creating a tight, almost pant-like effect in the front. The pallu (unstitched end) is then intricately draped over the left shoulder, leaving the right shoulder bare. This unique style is believed to have evolved from the practical needs of Maratha women, allowing for ease of movement and freedom while engaging in various activities, from horseback riding to performing household chores.

A Symphony of Colors: The Spectrum of Tradition

Maharashtrian weddings are a riot of vibrant hues, and the bride's saree plays a key role in this colorful spectacle. While traditional colors like maroon, red, and green are favored, contemporary brides are embracing a wider spectrum of shades, from royal blue and emerald to deep purple and fuchsia. These colors symbolize auspiciousness, prosperity, and good fortune for the newlywed couple.

Embellishments and Motifs: Tales Woven in Thread

The Maharashrian bride's saree is adorned with exquisite embellishments and motifs that add a touch of grandeur and tell stories of tradition. These include:

Paithani Saree: Arguably the most famous of Maharashrian sarees, the Paithani is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, renowned for its intricate, handwoven designs in rich silk. These designs often depict peacocks, parrots, flowers, and geometric patterns, all executed with meticulous precision.

Chanderi Saree: Known for its delicate, lightweight fabric, the Chanderi saree is characterized by its subtle sheen and intricate woven patterns. It often features floral motifs, paisley designs, and geometric patterns.

Kanjeevaram Saree: While not strictly Maharashrian, the Kanjeevaram saree, with its rich silk and intricate gold thread embroidery, has become a popular choice for brides looking for an opulent and traditional look. It often features temple motifs, floral patterns, and auspicious symbols.

The Bridal Ensemble: Accessories and Ornaments

The Maharashrian bride's saree is not just an attire, it's a complete ensemble that includes accessories and ornaments that amplify her beauty and celebrate her special day. These include:

Jewelry: From the ornate gold nose ring (nath) to the heavy necklaces, the bride's jewelry is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the region. Traditional pieces include the 'chandrakor' (a crescent moon pendant), 'tulsi mala' (necklace made of holy basil beads), and 'bajuband' (armlets).

Mangalsutra: This sacred necklace, signifying a woman's married status, is a vital part of the Maharashrian bride's ensemble. It is typically made of black beads and gold, symbolizing the divine union and enduring bond between husband and wife.

Headgear: The bride's hair is typically styled in an elaborate bun adorned with flowers and a 'gajra' (floral garland). The 'nath' and the 'choda' (a hair ornament) add a touch of regality to the ensemble.

Make-up: Traditional Maharashrian bridal makeup is characterized by its subtlety. The bride's eyes are lined with kohl, her lips are painted with a rich red, and her cheeks are adorned with a touch of rouge.

A Modern Twist: The Evolution of the Maharashrian Bride's Saree

While tradition holds a strong sway in Maharashrian weddings, brides are embracing a touch of modernity in their choice of sarees. The classic Nauvari style is often paired with contemporary fabrics like georgette, chiffon, and velvet, adding a dash of glamour and elegance to the ensemble. Experimentation with colors, embellishments, and embroidery is also prevalent, allowing brides to personalize their look while respecting the traditions of their heritage.

FAQs: The Maharashrian Bride's Saree

Q1: What makes the Maharashrian bride's saree unique?

The Maharashrian bride's saree, known as the Nauvari Saree, is unique for its distinctive draping style - a nine-yard saree draped to create a tight, almost pant-like effect in the front, with the pallu draped over the left shoulder. This unique draping style, combined with the vibrant colors, intricate embellishments, and traditional jewelry, makes the Nauvari Saree an iconic symbol of Maharashrian bridal attire.

Q2: What are the different types of sarees popular for Maharashrian brides?

Popular saree choices for Maharashrian brides include:

Paithani Saree: Known for its intricate handwoven designs and rich silk.

Q5: Where can I find Maharashrian bridal sarees?

Maharashtrian bridal sarees can be found in traditional saree shops, online retailers specializing in Indian attire, and at stores that cater to ethnic wear. It's always a good idea to visit local artisans and shops to find authentic Paithani and Chanderi sarees, adding a unique touch to the bridal ensemble.

Conclusion

The Maharashrian bride's saree is more than just an attire; it's a symbol of heritage, elegance, and tradition. It's a tapestry woven with threads of history, craftsmanship, and cultural pride. From the intricate designs to the vibrant colors, the saree reflects the rich tapestry of Maharashtran culture, making it a treasured part of the state's wedding traditions.

How to Choose the Perfect Indian Necklace for Your Style in the USA

An Indian necklace can bring a touch of sophistication and beauty to your wardrobe accessories. Maaya Fine Jewels, an Indian jewelry in USA with our headquarters in New Jersey, knows how important it is to locate the ideal necklace to match your unique style. In this post, we'll walk you through choosing the perfect Indian necklace for your style.

Establish The Neckline

Considering your neckline is the first step towards selecting the ideal Indian necklace. Certain necklines suit different necklace types more than others:

If your blouse or dress has a V-neck, go for a shorter necklace hanging over the neck.

Select a longer necklace that dangles below the collar if you have a high neckline.

Necklaces in the choker design pair well with boat neck or off-the-shoulder outfits.

Think About Your Face Shape

Additionally, the kind of Indian necklace that best suits your face shape is something to consider:

Select a necklace with a longer drop to make your face appear longer if you have a round face.

If your face is square, choose a necklace with a V-shaped or curved pendant to soften the angles.

Most necklace types work well on oval faces, but a necklace with a pendant that pulls the eye down might look especially good.

Decide on the Necklace Length

Take into account both your desired overall style and your height when choosing the length of your Indian necklace:

Princess necklaces (16–18 inches) and chokers work well on small frames to create a striking, daring style.

20–24 inch matinee necklaces are adaptable with many different necklines.

Opera necklaces, which measure between 30 and 36 inches, are ideal for taller women or those who want a more dramatic, layered style.

Wear Your Necklace with Your Clothes

The Indian necklace In USA you select needs to go well with the colour and overall design of your ensemble:

Choose a statement piece for a formal occasion, such as a choker with diamonds or a Kundan necklace.

Simple, attractive necklaces, such as a beaded necklace or a delicate chain with a pendant, look great with casual attire.

To create visual interest with a solid-coloured top or dress, go for a necklace with colourful gemstones or elaborate motifs.

Think About Your Skin Tone

Your skin tone can also affect which metal type suits you best:

Indian necklaces in rose or gold are a good choice if your skin tone is warm.

Indian necklaces made of silver or platinum suit people with cool skin tones the best.

With warm and cool metals, Olive skin tones can look good, giving you more options.

Make an Investment in High-Quality Materials

It's crucial to spend money on high-quality materials while buying an Indian necklace in the USA:

Seek out necklaces of precious metals such as sterling silver or 14k or 18k gold.

Ensure that any diamonds or gemstones utilized are of the highest caliber and possess excellent colour and clarity.

Examine the necklace's artistry, looking for delicate motifs and strong clasps.

Add More Jewelry as an Accessory

After selecting your Indian necklace, think about how it will complement your existing jewelry:

Keep your earrings modest and understated if you're wearing a spectacular necklace.

With this necklace, you can use a stack of bangles or statement earrings for a more understated look.

Don't forget to finish your traditional Indian appearance with a nose ring or maangtikka.

In conclusion, it all comes down to considering your neckline, face shape, attire, and personal tastes while selecting the ideal Indian necklace for your style in the USA. You can create a timeless and fashionable style by heeding this advice and buying high-quality Indian jewelry in USA.

Bridal Nose Ring Nath: Essential Tips for First-Time Wearers

The bridal nose ring, commonly known as the "nath," holds immense cultural and symbolic value in many South Asian weddings, particularly in India. Beyond being a statement piece of jewelry, the nath is often regarded as a sign of a bride’s beauty, grace, and familial tradition. For first-time wearers, adorning a nath can be a mix of excitement and apprehension. From selecting the right design to dealing with practical concerns, wearing a bridal nose ring comes with its own set of considerations. If you're about to wear a nath for the first time, this guide will help you navigate everything from choosing the perfect style to tips for comfort.

1. Understanding the Symbolism of the Bridal Nath

Before diving into the practicalities, it’s important to understand the cultural significance of the bridal nath. In many Indian traditions, the nose ring is more than just an ornament—it symbolizes marital status, much like the mangalsutra. In certain cultures, a woman may only wear the nath on her wedding day or special occasions like festivals. In regions like Maharashtra, Punjab, and Rajasthan, the nath plays a key role in bridal attire and is often passed down through generations, signifying continuity of tradition.

2. Types of Bridal Nose Rings (Nath)

There are a variety of styles and designs available for bridal naths, depending on the region, culture, and the bride’s personal taste. Here are some of the most popular styles:

Maharashtrian Nath: Typically adorned with pearls and a single stone, the Maharashtrian nath is crescent-shaped and sits on the left nostril. It has a distinct, traditional design that holds significance in Maharashtrian weddings.

Punjabi Nath: This is a large, circular nose ring, often decorated with intricate designs and connected to the bride's hair or ear via a delicate chain. Punjabi brides typically wear these naths as a grand statement piece.

Rajasthani Nath: Known for its size and elaborate design, the Rajasthani nath is often large and opulent, made with gold and adorned with precious stones like diamonds, rubies, and pearls.

South Indian Nath: More delicate and minimalistic, the South Indian nath often features tiny floral patterns and is commonly adorned with diamonds or small gold designs.

Modern Nath: With changing trends, many brides opt for modern naths, which combine traditional designs with contemporary aesthetics. These designs are often more minimal and lightweight, making them easier to wear for extended periods.

3. Choosing the Right Nath for Your Face Shape

When it comes to selecting a bridal nath, your face shape plays a crucial role. Here are some tips on choosing a nath that complements your facial features:

Round Face: If you have a round face, avoid large, round naths as they may make your face appear fuller. Opt for long, slender designs that create an illusion of length and slimness.

Oval Face: An oval face is versatile, and most nath designs suit this shape. You can experiment with a variety of styles, whether they are small and delicate or large and intricate.

Square Face: Brides with square faces should opt for rounded designs that soften the angles of the face. A circular or hoop-style nath will balance the sharpness of the jawline.

Heart-Shaped Face: If you have a heart-shaped face, try to balance your features by opting for slightly larger naths that add volume near the chin and jawline.

Ultimately, the design you choose should not only suit your face but also your personal style and comfort level.

4. Pierced vs. Non-Pierced Naths

For brides who have never worn a nose ring before, the question of whether to get a piercing or opt for a clip-on nath is important.

Pierced Nath: If you already have a nose piercing or plan to get one, a pierced nath offers a secure and comfortable fit. However, getting a piercing solely for your wedding day may not be ideal if you aren’t used to wearing nose rings regularly. Keep in mind that a new piercing requires at least six to eight weeks of healing time before you can safely wear heavy jewelry.

Non-Pierced Nath: Many brides opt for non-pierced naths that come with a clip-on mechanism. These naths can be equally stunning and are perfect for those who don’t wish to commit to a piercing. Just ensure that the clip-on mechanism is comfortable and secure to prevent any slippage during the ceremony.

5. Balancing Comfort and Style

Wearing a nath can sometimes be uncomfortable, especially if it’s a large or heavy design. If you're new to wearing nose rings, here are some tips to ensure maximum comfort:

Test Before the Wedding: If you’ve chosen a clip-on nath, try wearing it for a few hours before your big day to get used to the sensation. This will help you adjust to any discomfort and ensure the fit is secure.

Use a Lightweight Chain: Many larger naths are attached to the hair or ear with a thin chain, which distributes the weight of the jewelry and reduces pressure on the nostril. If your nath doesn’t come with a chain, consider adding one for extra support.

Go for Lighter Materials: If you're not used to heavy jewelry, consider opting for a nath made of lightweight materials like thin gold or silver. Heavy naths, though grand, can cause discomfort over time.

6. Coordinating Your Nath with Other Bridal Jewelry

A nath is just one part of the larger ensemble of bridal jewelry, and it’s essential to coordinate it with other pieces like the maang tikka, earrings, and necklace. Here’s how to achieve a balanced look:

Harmonize Metals: Make sure the metal of your nath complements the rest of your jewelry. For example, if your bridal set is gold, opt for a gold nath to maintain uniformity.

Complement Stones: If your bridal jewelry includes colored stones like rubies, emeralds, or diamonds, choose a nath that features similar gemstones to tie the whole look together.

Keep Proportions in Mind: If your maang tikka and earrings are large and elaborate, opt for a smaller, delicate nath to avoid overwhelming your face. On the other hand, if your other jewelry is subtle, you can go for a larger, statement-making nath.

7. Piercing Aftercare for Brides

If you’ve decided to get a nose piercing before your wedding, proper aftercare is essential to ensure it heals properly before the big day. Here are some aftercare tips:

Clean Regularly: Clean your piercing twice a day with a saline solution or a mixture of sea salt and warm water to prevent infection.

Avoid Touching: Try not to touch or twist the nose ring frequently as this can introduce bacteria and delay the healing process.

Be Patient: Allow your piercing the full recommended healing time (6-8 weeks) before switching to heavier jewelry, like a bridal nath, to avoid irritation.

8. Practical Considerations for the Big Day

Finally, here are a few practical tips to keep in mind when wearing a nath on your wedding day:

Secure It Well: Ensure that your nath is secured properly, especially if it’s a clip-on. The last thing you want is for it to slip or move during the ceremony.

Carry an Emergency Kit: Ask your bridesmaids or family members to carry a small emergency kit with extra bobby pins, a small mirror, and any necessary tools to adjust your nath if needed.

Practice Wearing It: Don’t wait until your wedding day to wear your nath for the first time. Practice wearing it during your dress fittings or makeup trials to get used to the feel and weight.

Conclusion

The bridal nose ring, or nath, is an exquisite piece of jewelry that adds elegance and cultural depth to a bride’s wedding attire. While it may seem daunting to wear a nath for the first time, following these tips will help you choose the right design, ensure comfort, and coordinate it with your overall bridal look. Whether you opt for a traditional or modern style, your nath will be a beautiful symbol of your new journey as a bride.

The Trend and Tradition of Nose Piercing Rings: A Timeless Expression of Style and Culture

Nose piercings have long been a symbol of culture, identity, and fashion. Nose rings, in particular, hold a significant place in history, as well as in modern-day trends. Whether adorned for cultural significance, spiritual beliefs, or simply as a statement of personal style, nose rings offer a timeless form of self-expression. Today, this body adornment is celebrated across the globe for its blend of tradition, beauty, and individuality.

The Cultural Roots of Nose Piercings

Nose piercings are believed to have originated around 4,000 years ago in the Middle East. They spread to India in the 16th century, becoming a popular practice among women in many regions. In Indian culture, the left nostril is traditionally pierced, as it is associated with the female reproductive organs and is thought to ease childbirth and menstruation. Women wear nose rings on this side as part of bridal customs, and it is often seen as a mark of beauty and status.

Similarly, Nose Piercing Ring are found in various African and Middle Eastern cultures. Among the Berber and Beja people, nose rings are often large and ornate, symbolizing wealth and familial status. In some Bedouin tribes, nose rings are part of dowry traditions and are used to signify a woman's worth in marriage negotiations.

The practice of wearing nose rings was brought to the West by travelers and hippies in the 1960s and 70s, who were fascinated by Eastern traditions. Over time, what was once seen as countercultural became widely accepted, and nose piercings are now a mainstream accessory in many parts of the world.

Modern Interpretations of Nose Rings

Today, nose rings are popular with people from all walks of life. Celebrities, influencers, and everyday individuals alike have embraced nose piercings as a bold statement of fashion and personality. From tiny, delicate studs to large, hoop-style rings, there are numerous styles and materials to choose from. Gold, silver, titanium, and surgical steel are some of the most common materials, but there are also options with gemstones, diamonds, and even custom designs.

Hoop nose rings, in particular, have gained prominence. They can be subtle and sleek or oversized and dramatic, depending on the wearer's style. Septum rings, which pierce the cartilage between the nostrils, have also become incredibly trendy in recent years. Unlike the traditional nostril piercing, the septum ring offers a more edgy and alternative look, making it popular among those who want to make a bolder statement.

Nose rings can be worn in a variety of ways, depending on the wearer’s preference. Some prefer to keep their look minimal with a tiny stud, while others opt for larger, more intricate designs. The versatility of nose piercings means they can be both an everyday accessory and a special occasion statement piece.

The Significance of Self-Expression

For many, nose rings are more than just a trend—they represent individuality and personal freedom. In an era where people are increasingly seeking ways to stand out and express their uniqueness, body piercings provide a powerful outlet. Piercings, including nose rings, allow individuals to challenge conventional beauty standards and craft their own image.

Moreover, Nose Rings can have deeper personal or spiritual meaning. For some, it’s a rite of passage, a form of rebellion, or a connection to their cultural roots. For others, it’s simply an expression of style or a way to enhance their appearance. The motivations behind nose piercings are as diverse as the people who wear them.

Taking Care of Your Nose Piercing

As with any body piercing, proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and ensure a smooth healing process. A new nose piercing typically takes between 4 to 6 months to heal, depending on the individual and the care routine followed. Regular cleaning with saline solution, avoiding touching or twisting the jewelry, and steering clear of harsh chemicals like alcohol are key to successful healing.

It’s also important to choose the right type of jewelry for your piercing. Hypoallergenic materials, such as titanium and surgical steel, are recommended to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and complications.

 

Nose rings have transcended cultural boundaries to become a universal form of expression. Whether rooted in tradition or worn for fashion, they offer a unique and meaningful way for individuals to express themselves. With countless styles and designs to choose from, nose rings continue to evolve, blending the ancient with the contemporary in a powerful statement of beauty and individuality. Whether you're following a centuries-old custom or simply embracing a personal style, nose rings remain a timeless and versatile adornment.

*checks my bible app*

I don't know how I missed that the nose ring part. I feel like churches skip over a lot of stuff. I don't know why this isn't talked about more. I wish my husband gifted me a gold nose ring lol. Wow.... I am baffled right now. That is really interesting.

Btw, likely her nose was pierced. Some cultures such as Indian women have hoop nose rings that means different things even martial status ^_^

Piercings are pretty rad

Balance Is Key: If you’re wearing a heavy necklace, keep the earrings simpler to maintain balance. Alternatively, if your necklace is subtle, you can opt for statement earrings.

Personal Style: Choose jewelry that reflects your personal style. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you should feel comfortable and confident in what you wear.

Layering: Don’t be afraid to layer different styles of jewelry for a unique look. Combining a Kundan choker with a stone-studded Rani Haar can create a stunning visual effect.

Ethnic Jewelry Photoshoots Accessories That Complete the Look

When it comes to photoshoots, whether for traditional Indian clothing or modern western fashion, the right accessories can truly make or break the look. Ethnic jewelry, in particular, plays a vital role in traditional Indian photoshoots, while western fashion accessories can bring a unique flair to contemporary styles. In this blog, we’ll explore how these accessories elevate your photoshoot experience and offer tips for making the most of your shoot, whether you're aiming for a traditional or modern vibe.

The Role of Accessories in Traditional Indian Clothing Photoshoots

Cultural Significance of Ethnic Jewelry

Ethnic jewelry is more than just adornment in Indian culture; it’s a symbol of tradition, status, and heritage. In traditional Indian clothing photoshoots, accessories such as necklaces, earrings, and bangles are crucial in adding depth and richness to the look. These pieces often feature intricate designs and are made from precious metals and stones, each telling its own story and adding a layer of authenticity to the shoot.

How Accessories Enhance Traditional Outfits

Accessories are essential in completing the traditional look. A well-chosen set of jewelry can enhance the beauty of a saree, lehenga choli, or salwar kameez. They draw attention to the outfit’s details and can transform a simple ensemble into a stunning visual statement. For instance, pairing a heavy gold choker with a richly embroidered saree can create a regal appearance, while delicate jhumkas add a touch of elegance to a lehenga choli.

Popular Ethnic Jewelry Styles for Indian Photoshoots

Necklaces and Chokers

Necklaces and chokers are standout pieces in traditional Indian jewelry. They come in various styles, from elaborate temple jewelry to minimalistic designs, making them versatile for different looks. A choker adorned with gemstones can complement a low-neck blouse, while a layered necklace adds grandeur to a high-neck outfit.

Earrings and Jhumkas

Earrings, especially jhumkas, are a staple in ethnic jewelry. Their unique designs and movement add a dynamic element to the photoshoot, catching light and drawing attention. Jhumkas can range from heavy and ornate to delicate and dainty, depending on the outfit and desired look.

Bangles and Bracelets

Bangles and bracelets are integral to the traditional ensemble. They create a harmonious look when stacked or worn individually. The clinking sound of bangles adds a sensory element to the photoshoot, bringing the jewelry to life.

Maang Tikkas and Nose Rings

Maang tikkas and nose rings are distinctive accessories that complete the traditional Indian look. Maang tikkas, worn on the forehead, add an ethereal touch, while nose rings, whether subtle or elaborate, enhance the facial features and add to the overall charm.

Choosing the Right Ethnic Jewelry for Different Outfits

Matching Jewelry with Sarees

When accessorizing a saree, the focus should be on creating a balanced look. Heavy jewelry can be paired with simpler sarees, while ornate sarees are best complemented with minimalistic jewelry. The key is to highlight the saree’s details without overwhelming the overall look.

Coordinating Jewelry with Lehenga Cholis

Lehenga cholis, often vibrant and detailed, can handle bold jewelry pieces. Chokers and statement earrings work well with lehengas, while a set of bangles can complement the outfit’s flair and movement.

Accessorizing with Salwar Kameez

For salwar kameez, the jewelry should complement the outfit's cut and style. Simple earrings and a delicate necklace can enhance the elegance of a salwar kameez, while more elaborate pieces can be used for festive or ceremonial outfits.
