Jewellery is one of the most important parts of an Indian bride’s wedding look. A lot of planning goes into selecting the right pieces for her. But the one piece that really stands out is the maatha patti or the maang tikka. A bride’s headpiece can really make or break the entire look. A lot of brides tend to follow trends when it comes to their headpiece, but that’s not the way to go. While an intricate maatha patti may have looked great on your BFF, a simpler maang tikka might look stunning on you.

So, we compiled some of our favourite maang tikkas, maatha pattis and passas to help you decide which style will look the best on you. From modern versions of traditional looks to completely new, stunning designs, it’s all here for you, brides.
