Maang Tikka

Maang Tikka is one of the most widely worn Indian wedding accessories that adorn the forehead at the parting in the middle of the hair. This particular accessory can go with any kind of wedding attire. But to flaunt it, one can opt for a tikka larger in size, encrusted with coloured stones, large beads, kundan, polka or pearls. But make sure to keep your other jewellery at a minimal to attract the attention towards this beauty at the centre.

Passa

Passa is nowadays worn the most when compared to a simple, straight maang tikka. It is an ornament similar to that of a maang tikka but is worn at the side of the forehead rather than the center. You can even choose to wear a passa at the side along with a simple tikka at the centre. This accessory has a Persian vibe to it and can be spotted with anarkali suits and almost all the wedding lehengas.

3) Waist Band or Kamar Patta

This wedding accessory serves a twofold purpose- It can add look to your attire and also hold your outfit in place. It is like a sash or belt made of gold or other metals, studded with beads or pearls and goes around your waist. If not a gaudy kamar patta, you can also opt for a waist chain, more like an extended version of the anklet to add life to your attire. This look can be best spotted with a saree but you can also use a chain with a tassel suspending at the end of it to flaunt it with a lehenga.
