Salaam. I would love to wear a Matha patti but I have small forehead like this bride, maybe even smaller. I think she looks stunning in it. Personally, I would want the tikka part to be smaller and the side parts to be much lighter.
What do you guys suggest?
Re: To wear or not to wear Matha-patti?
go for it :)
Re: To wear or not to wear Matha-patti?
Why don't you try some? I personally don't prefer big matha pattis. They can easily look tacky. Honestly, the bride would look so much better and prettier without the matha patti.
Re: To wear or not to wear Matha-patti?
go for it! but if your forehead is small, keep it small and naazuk. i find her teeka overpowering. balance is the key! ;)
try several on before you make your final decision.
and keep it one lari too- multiple lari's can be OTT. and not too many dangling bits either- that's distracting.

^ agree with SGC.
This is your day and you can wear anything you want. There are half matha-pattis as well if you like to try those.
i also agree with sgc....naazuk is the way to go. I was really confused about whether to wear a maatha patti too because I have a small forehead as well, but I made a one-lari, very delicate maatha patti and I loved it. Like SGC, I hate too many dangling things (even on necklaces frankly)
wear a really small simpler type and show more hair-- don't let the dupatta cover so much of your hair.. that should balance out the look.
Re: To wear or not to wear Matha-patti?
Thanks for all the suggestions and advice girls. I def feel a lot more confident in wearing one. I couldn't remember the word for lari but that's what I was meaning. Also I think I will try the tikka and jhoomer as well just to get the overall feel. want to get it spot on. :)

My mum loves them. I'd say go for it but I dont like the one you posted :(
Re: To wear or not to wear Matha-patti?
my sis went for it and it looked gorgeous on her baraat but it started to drag down as the evening went on and by the time of Rukhsati it just looked a mess. It has to be pinned in a sturdy fashion.
Also, I wouldnt go for it because I have a small forehead but if it looks good on you then definitely go for it :) All the best!

I don't like this particular one either. I posted the pic because she has a similar forehead size to mine. :)

You have good point. So how are these usually fastened?
this ones nice.. the girl has a larger forehead though so she has no problem pulling it off. make sure to get it as close to your hairline as you can.. good luck!
