The correct choice of accessories will complement your engagement attire idea without clashing with the glow of your saree. In case of a daytime engagement ceremony, wear minimal jewellery - a statement choker and earrings are sufficient. In case of evening weddings, add polki sets and chandbalis to match the glitz of your saree. Go for strappy block heels or embroidered juttis instead of stilettos as you'll be standing all day long.
Hair styling is also crucial in the form of a loose bun adorned with a gajra or even a side braid. As for the make-up, opt for a dramatic lipstick look in shades of coral or berry, which complement the shimmer material of your outfit.
