Bridal Jewellery Kit for Stylists and Wedding Planners: How to Build One

A bridal jewellery kit for a stylist or wedding planner should cover four groups: the bride's main pieces, a lighter set for each bridesmaid, accessories for the closest family, and a few spare pieces for the day itself. Keep the stone colour and finish consistent across the groups so the photographs look planned, and always try the combination on the person before the wedding. This guide is written by Sirini, a Mumbai maker of gold-plated imitation jewellery, and it covers what to include, how to match pieces, how to run a trial, how to carry the kit and how to start a trade enquiry.

What a bridal kit needs, group by group

• The bride: a necklace set with earrings, a maang tikka, a passa or sheeshphool for the head, kalira and bangles for the chooda ceremony, and a hathphool if she wants one. The bridal jewellery checklist goes function by function.
• Bridesmaids: one lighter matching piece each, usually earrings and a maang tikka or a small pendant set. The bridesmaid jewellery guide explains how to keep them matching but lighter than the bride.
• Family: mothers and sisters often want a necklace set or earrings in a colour that suits their outfit. Our colour guide helps match stones to clothes.
• The groom's side: a kalgi and a mala for the sherwani. See the groom's kalgi, mala and brooch guide.
• Spares: an extra pair of earrings and an extra hook or pin set, because hooks and clasps are what fail on a long wedding day.

Match colour and finish across the kit

Choose one finish family for the whole kit. Kundan-style stones with gold plating look classic, Meenakari adds hand-finished enamel colour, and antique or matte gold suits traditional sarees. Pick two or three stone colours at most, taken from the bride's outfit, and repeat them across the bride's and bridesmaids' pieces. If a piece is Polki-style, say so: it imitates the uncut-stone look and is not made from real diamonds. Our Meenakari, Kundan and Polki guide gives wording you can reuse with clients.

Run a trial before the wedding day

Do the trial with the hairstylist present. A passa, sheeshphool and maang tikka are pinned into the hair, so check where each one sits, whether the weight pulls and whether the chains cross. The bridal head jewellery guide explains how the pieces combine without crowding. Many brides choose two head pieces rather than three. Check earrings for comfort over a few hours, and check bangle sizes before the ceremony.

Order early and carry the kit safely

Orders are packed in 1 to 2 business days and usually arrive in 5 to 7 business days after dispatch, so plan the order well before the first function; our guide on when to order bridal jewellery online has a timeline. Carry each set in its own pouch so chains do not tangle, keep the kit dry, and put jewellery on after perfume and cosmetics. The care and storage guide has the full list.

Describe the jewellery honestly to your clients

Tell clients that the pieces are fashion (imitation) jewellery: gold plating over a brass or copper base, with Kundan-style stones and hand-finished Meenakari enamel, not solid gold, silver or diamond. Sirini does not accept change-of-mind returns; defective, damaged or wrong items can be exchanged within 7 days, so choose carefully and test the pieces before the event. Clients trust a planner who explains this clearly, and the jewellery then matches what they were told.

How to start a trade enquiry

Retail orders on the website have no minimum, so a planner can start with a single piece. For several sets or repeat orders, call or WhatsApp +91 98331 14467, email sirinijewellery@gmail.com, or use the form on the wholesale enquiries page. Tell us the event date, how many people the kit covers and the colours you want, and we will talk through quantities and pricing with you directly. You can also see pieces in person at the Sirini showroom in Hi Life Mall, Santacruz West, Mumbai, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM; see the Mumbai showroom page. If you run a shop rather than events, read our checklist for boutiques and resellers.
