Re: Rani haars…
** this is also called a chandan haar!**

no. rani har and sat lara har are different.
Re: Rani haars...
are they? oops! all the pics i'm seeing they look the same... is it a difference in what kind of gem/gold is used?
Re: Rani haars…
no there is a difference in design. this is satlara . sat means 7.

Re: Rani haars...
oooh, i see! thanks sheal!
Re: Rani haars…
Oh my gosh, I have got to be the only person who dislikes these kind of haars. They look so gawdy to me. 
The problem that I find with them is that not everybody can pull them off and still look classy.
Re: Rani haars...
it totally depends on what you're wearing too, i think. personally, i dont like saath laras or rani haars- i like the simplicity of the chandan haar, but then i see some brides and they pull it off so beautifully!
Re: Rani haars...
usually it only looks nice on sarees. especially on plane sarees. i think so
:)

Exactly. The biggest mistake people make is wearing it with the wrong outfit, or with a million other pieces of jewellery. It just looks tacky. Very few brides can pull it off beautifully, and those who do, look amazing. There is no in-between ... either amazing or ridiculous.

Re: Rani haars...
oh lady, it doesn't mean you- you looked lovely!! :)
Re: Rani haars…
I used to hate those type of necklaces when I was younger, I thot they were just really old fashoined and paindu.. (which they kinda are 
)… it just depends on what you wear with it, a big big set like the ones that are in wudnt go nice with a rani haar, but a smaller, somewhat plainer set, wud look nice with a haar..
now if only i cud get used to the big chunky gold ones.. :hinna:
Re: Rani haars...
i don't like the big chunky ones :p
thats why i like the chandan haar- its fairly delicate compared to a sat lara/rani haar. i like the idea of wearing a choker or something closer to the neck and then a really long necklace. in the old days, they'd wear two very heavy necklaces close to the neck and it'd look SOOO overdone. i remember mum's wedding pics.. holy moly! you can't even appreciate her face (she's lovely) cos shes got so much gold and flowers on.
omg! we need a thread with our mum's wedding pics in it! haha

My moms wedding stuff was VERY simple, I wish there were real pix but this was 1975 Pakistan, i guess there were very few taken.. :( But i think she wore a peach ghaghra, the duputta had that old fashioned fringe on it..

Re: Rani haars...
Ive only eva seen one or 2 dulhans wear a rani haar and they looked incredible. Of course u have to get the whole outfit right with it as well otherwise it will look too much. But i dont think any1 intentionally goes out to look stupid on their wedding day. I mean that girl in the white outfit that we all like doesnt look tacky and she has a lot of other jewellery on as well. It all depends on how u wear it and personally from what ive seen it looks amazing.
Groovychick: Ive neva seen a chandan haar b4 but it looks nice!
Re: Rani haars…
Nice one..
