But, if you are still confused about what to do, don't worry! Here are some tips and tricks shared by experts that will definitely help you ace your style game.

Tips For Lehenga Lovers:

Sahib Singh Bhatia who is the Fashion Head and Creative Director of Amaaré said, "Exploring various ways to drape the dupatta can elevate the overall appearance. By arranging the dupatta in finer pleats, attention is directed towards the skirt and blouse. Opting for traditional draping or experimenting with innovative styles such as a one-shoulder drape, pleated dupatta, or a stylish side drape can create a contemporary appearance."

"Numerous footwear choices, including high-heeled sneakers that are often concealed beneath the skirt, offer versatility when paired with a lehenga. Carefully selected, they can beautifully complement your outfit. Whether opting for traditional juttis, embroidered heels, or high-heeled sneakers, prioritise comfort while maintaining a stylish appearance for your attire. Keep the jewellery minimal, focusing on a single impactful piece," he added.

Know These Saree Secrets:

Paarth Khanna, who is a Jewellery designer at DRK Jewels said, "The growing trend of pairing old and timeless sarees with fresh jewellery adds a touch of family history to the modern flair. Banarasi silk sarees blend beautifully with statement earrings, likewise minimalistic anklets or stacked bangles complement the intricately weaved traditional sarees."

"Stackable bracelets or cuffs are excellent choices to give a fresh look to sarees with old styled prints, reflecting the timeless beauty of Indian culture. The fusion of ancestral sarees and modern jewelry pieces isn't just a style choice; it's a testament to the enduring beauty of family stories interwoven with the promises of tomorrow," he added.

The Perfect Colour Combinations:

Shakti Piplani, who is the Founder & CEO of Increate Jewelry Institute said, "The choice of wedding saree can definitely influence the choice of jewellery. These days when younger generation wants to wear traditional outfits for example an old heirloom saree or lehenga, they want to combine it with modern jewelry. The Gen Z brides have refined their taste in mixing and matching."

Here are some suggestions Shakti had for the young brides:

• Make certain that the colours of the saree and jewellery complement each other. Harmonious colour combinations create a visually appealing look.
• Fabric plays an important role in jewellery selection. Heavy silk sarees may pair well with intricate & traditionally inclined jewellery, while a lightweight saree can be complemented with more delicate and modern pieces. Mix traditional gold or silver with modern metals like rose gold or platinum. This can create a unique and eclectic look.
• Choose modern jewellery with contemporary designs and silhouettes. For example, sleek and minimalist necklaces or geometric-shaped earrings can complement the traditional saree.
• The key is to strike a balance between traditional and modern elements, creating a look that reflects your personality and makes you feel confident on your special day.

A Peek Into Men's Evergreen Jewellery Trends

In contemporary times, men's jewellery has experienced a renaissance, influenced by changing  societal norms and a growing appreciation for personal style. Social media and Gen Z culture have encouraged men to experiment with new designs. This wedding season, it's time for men to step up their style game. Adding the right jewellery pieces to your ensemble can elevate your look and make a lasting impression.

Here are some tips suggested by Revathi Kant, who is the Chief Design Officer at Titan:

• Gold Chains: Gold chains have perpetually held a distinguished place in men's jewellery, seamlessly transcending trends to become timeless symbols of sophistication. Whether donned in sleek, minimalistic designs or embraced as bold, chunky statements, these chains effortlessly adapt  to various occasions. Their versatility is further accentuated by the contemporary trend of  layering multiple chains, allowing men to infuse a modern and stylish edge into traditional  ensembles. 
• Solitaire Rings: Solitaire rings, the epitome of understated luxury, grace the fingers of discerning men seeking  a refined and classic touch. The allure lies in their simplicity, with a single, well-placed diamond  or gemstone making a powerful statement. Beyond being a symbol of commitment in wedding  bands, solitaire rings serve as standalone accessories, effortlessly transitioning from casual to  formal settings, embodying timeless elegance. 

• Solitaire Earrings: In the realm of men's jewellery, solitaire earrings bring a touch of modern elegance and subtle  sparkle. With a single diamond or gemstone delicately adorning the ear, these earrings strike  a balance between sophistication and contemporary flair. Suited for both daytime and  evening events, solitaire earrings have become an indispensable accessory for men looking to  enhance their overall style. 

• Bracelets / Kadas: Wrist adornments, in the form of bracelets and kadas, hold an essential place in men's  jewellery collections. Offering a spectrum of materials, from classic gold to contemporary  alloys, these accessories cater to diverse tastes. The stacking trend has gained prominence, allowing for personalised and creative styling, making bracelets and kadas integral  components in expressing one's unique fashion sensibilities. 

• Multi-String Necklaces: Adding a touch of bohemian flair, multi-string necklaces have become a distinctive trend in  men's jewellery. Beyond their ornamental value, these necklaces create a textured, layered  look that seamlessly complements both casual and semi-formal outfits. The use of mixed  materials, such as beads, metals, and stones, adds a level of visual interest and uniqueness,  defining a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic. 

• Brooch: The dapper and refined brooch has reemerged as a noteworthy accessory, injecting  sophistication into formal wear. With versatile placement options, including lapels and ties, the brooch offers men an opportunity for creative expression. Beyond its aesthetic appeal,  brooches often carry personal significance, adding a meaningful touch to the overall  ensemble. 

• Sarpech / Kalgi: The sarpech or kalgi, traditionally worn on turbans, carries a regal and ceremonial charm.  These ornate headpieces are not merely accessories; they are symbolic representations of  heritage and cultural identity. While traditionally reserved for special occasions,  contemporary designs make sarpech and kalgi adaptable for various events, combining  tradition with modern sensibilities. 
• Polki Rings: Polki rings, with their vintage allure and uncut diamonds, evoke a sense of heritage and  timeless beauty. Characterised by intricate craftsmanship and an antique finish, these rings  are often chosen for celebratory occasions, offering a unique blend of elegance and historical  charm. In the spectrum of men's evergreen jewellery trends, polki rings stand as testaments  to the enduring appeal of vintage aesthetics.

Cost-effective wedding solutions are more than just a necessity; they represent a belief in celebrating love without financial strain. The approach revolves around redefining traditional norms, ensuring that elegance and sophistication remain within reach for every couple.
