Re: what to buy first necklace or bangles
first the necklace then outfit and then bangles...or the outfit then jewelry:)
Re: what to buy first necklace or bangles
buy the dress firtst. It will make jewelry shopping easy. The colour of dress, embriodary, and the colour of embriodary are important factors to know before you buy your jewelry. If the embriodary is in dull colour you don't want to buy bright gold or sliver or vise versa. I think you should buy the dress first.
Re: what to buy first necklace or bangles
you can do it either way buy the jwellery and then get the outfit or vice versa. i personnaly think it better to buy the outfit first because then you can match your jwellery with it i have brought my walima outfit and now i am looking for a nice sent to go with it, ii depends what you want to get gold or artifical. if i was u id get the outfir first because i think that is the major thing once you have the outfit the rest isnt so bad.

You may also consider the usage after your wedding day. You will most likely be wearing the set many more times than the outfit so you may want to go for a set you absolutely love and then match an outfit. As far as color goes, after you've picked the style of jewellery you can always have them add the beads that match best with your outfit so it will look coordinated. All the best :)
Re: what to buy first necklace or bangles
do the bangles and jewelry set really have to match? I got bangles a couple of years ago. I just made sure they were in a dull gold cos I didn't want sparkly gold even if it was in fashion at any point in future. When the time comes i'll just get a matte gold set. I don't care if the design differs so long as the look is the same.
Re: what to buy first necklace or bangles
i dont think u really have got to match the necklace with the set but to some extent you can like having the same shade of gold or any stones that u have used in the necklace you could have them in the bangles.
recently i am coming across lot of different styles of necklaces and i was wondering which one to choose? there is this ghani type which means the necklace is close to ur neckline and there are long haar type - away from neckline and longer in length which we have seen in umrao jaan and taj mahal. so do u think i should make a haar kinda set or ghani sort of set?

How about both, a small gani with a long haar? That seems more easy to wear again afterwards.. if not that, then one of those double sets, with a choker and larger necklace, would be easier to wear again afterwards

sara can u show me some pictures bcz i am finding it hard to imagine as i havent seen many of them
Re: what to buy first necklace or bangles
milli, it depends on personal choice but i chose my lehanga first and then the bridal necklace so i could get matching beads in it. But my choorian and gold sets were made in advance.
Femme, my gold bangles dont really match my gold sets but thats ok because
1) i wore the artifical set with matching beads on my wedding so the choorian didnt/couldnt match the necklace set.
2)After the wedding, you dont really wear your necklace with bangles all the time so who cares.
Btw, on the wedding day itself, the bride is soooo decked up, i dont think anyone really notices what your choorian look like.
