How To Choose The Perfect Tikka For You
Hey lovelies! Summer is here so that means it’s peak wedding season! Whether it’s your own wedding (Congratulations!) or you’re going as a guest, the right accessories are essential for completing your look. When you go shopping for wedding jewelry the cases are adorned with the most beautiful pieces, each one catching your eye. There are so many stunning options for tikkas that it can be hard to choose which piece in particular is perfect for you. So, here are some tips and tricks straight from jewelry experts Bhavna Gupta of BG Jewels and Priya who is a bridal stylist at Cinderella Bridez. Keep these in mind when you’re on the lookout for the perfect tikka!
There are three main factors to consider when choosing a tikka just for you:
The first is the shape of your face.
Everyone has a different face shape so it’s important to find a tikka that complements your natural, gorgeous features! If your face is round, a pear or teardrop shape will look best on you. However, if your face is more oval shaped, a round tikka is better. If you’re not sure what face shape you have, ask the jewelry associate helping you!
The second is size.
The size of your forehead and the size of the tikka are both equally important because having a space between the tikka and your eyebrows creates that elegant look you want. You don’t want the tikka to overpower your beautiful glam by taking up so much space at the top of your head. If your forehead is small, a smaller tikka will complement your look! If you have a wide forehead, a larger tikka will look beautiful on you!
The third important factor is the color of the tikka.
There are so many dazzling options at the store. All the colors are so gorgeous and you just want to have them all! Stay away from too much color because it will distract from your look. Instead, opt for a tikka that has neutral colored gems with a little pop of color that matches the rest of your jewelry and outfit. This will make sure that the tikka brings out the beauty of your look as a whole and doesn’t act as an unnecessary statement piece.
Taking into account the shape of your face and the size/color of the tikka are so important to ensure a beautiful look! When you go jewelry shopping, try on the tikka to see if it complements your face and take a picture so you can look back at it when making your final decision. Also take skin tone and undertone into consideration. Which shade of gold compliments you best? Or are you a silver jewelry girl? And finally, make sure the tikka you decide to buy matches the rest of the jewelry you’ll be wearing! Having too many different colors and styles of jewelry will create a messy, distracted look.
Now, what do you do if you already bought your tikka but didn’t know about these tips and tricks? Don’t worry! If you find out that your tikka is looking too big, pull it back up the forehead a little to create a nice space between it and the eyebrows. Half of the tikka can be on your forehead and the other half can be on the top of your head. Or, if you have an oversized tikka, wearing a sheeshphool is recommended over a matha patti to create that fun, but still elegant look.
Now go and enjoy that wedding! Whether it’s you walking down the aisle embarking on a new journey or you’re attending to celebrate a friend, you’ll look so glamorous in that tikka you chose!
