This combination will look great especially with red, maroon or dark pink sarees. This bangle set can also be a great option for newly married women.
Unique look with handmade thread bangles
If you want to try something new instead of wearing the same glass bangles every time, then handmade thread bangles can be a great option for you. Artisans wrap colorful threads on these bangles by hand and decorate them with stones, mirrors, gota or other decorative work.
Their biggest advantage is that apart from being traditional, they also look quite unique. On the occasion of Teej, their combination with saree and traditional jewelery can make your entire look special.
Thread Kada for those who like less bangles
If you do not like to wear too many bangles in your hands, but still want to make your hands look stylish on Teej, then thread kada is a great option.
Kundan or stone work thread kada can also be worn alone. If you want to make it a little more traditional, you can wear some plain red glass bangles on either side. This combination will be simple yet look quite royal.
plain red glass bangles
If you do not like to experiment much and want a classy look, then plain red glass bangles are the best option. Their fashion never goes out and they easily match with almost every type of traditional saree.
If you want, you can also wear one or two statement bangles among the plain bangles. The combination of red bangles with oxidized ghunghroo bangles, golden kada or kundan bangles looks beautiful.
Velvet and pearl bridal set
Velvet and pearl bangle set can be quite attractive for newly-wed women. Wearing pearl and polki designed bracelets with velvet bangles gives a heavy and bridal look to the hands.
If your saree is red then you can choose bangles with golden and pearl work. At the same time, if the saree is of green, pink or maroon color then the combination of red and golden bangles in contrast will also look very beautiful.
How to choose the color of bangles with saree?
On Hartalika Teej, it is not necessary that the color of the bangles exactly matches the saree. Nowadays contrast bangles are also being liked a lot. Golden or green bangles can be tried with red saree, red bangles with green saree and red-pearl bangles with pink or maroon saree.
Just keep in mind that there is a balance between bangles, bracelets and other jewellery. Using too many designs and colors together can look overdone.
