After two summers confined and with little to expect in terms of grand events, this year's return to the wedding scene has sparked a true hype. We are constantly on the lookout for outfit inspiration to these much-awaited ceremonies and parties. As travelling restrictions are once again eased, many couples have decided to celebrate their love with a destination wedding.

Although the clothes we shall choose are important, let's not forget that jewellery always makes a difference. Below we have gathered some inspiration for chunky jewellery which can be styled with both Indian and Western aesthetics. These function as a joker card that can be used regardless of location and theme.

A Big Bracelet

During wedding held in warmer climates–be it on a beach in France or Mumbai, chances are your outfit will leave your hands exposed. Complement your bare wrist with a chunky and imposing bracelet that takes your look up a notch.

We recommend seriously considering the choice of a big bracelet especially in cases of strapless dresses. A chunky bracelet looks great with a modern lehenga as well. We recommend you skip the dupatta for this one!

For a more bohemian approach, the bracelets by An-née are ideal, whilst Anisa Sojka's minimal designs can replace or complement your watch hand.

Colourful Earrings

Instead of betting on gold or silver earrings, some people trust eye-catching colourful pieces to steal the show.

Petit Bonbon is an expert at creating easy-to-wear earrings that are perfect for any party. They may seem more lowkey than their gold versions but we suggest you try them for your next destination wedding. You won't be disappointed!

Similarly, Pepper Chocolate offers some proposals of vintage-like chunky jewellery including earrings whose colour and design are the stars of the show.

These metallic and red long earrings give off a slightly ethnic yet contemporary vibe. We would love to see them with paired with a silky saree.

Chunky Necklace

As you might have heard, the chain necklace is back. So is the maximal jewellery trend! For the lovers of classic, you can't go wrong with pearls or gold, let alone those two mixed to give a more modern feel. A big and bold necklace is ideal if you are wearing clothes that expose your chest.

Pair it with a sweetheart neckline blouse and voluminous lehenga–both of which will remind others of a Rajasthani princess.

If you want to make a more discreet neck statement, Jill Hopkins choker is ideal. Wear a statement ring with it and you shall be classy and contemporary all in one.

Pepper Chocolate's collar will be a great addition to your Indian- wedding look where it is all about maximal, chunky and eye-grabbing jewellery.

Looking for a statement choker? Select Akansha Sethi's beaded one in a vibrant, sea-inspired shade of blue. You can pair it with a simple kurta set and still score high on the style metre!

Hair Accessories

If there's one occasion to wear hair jewellery, this is it. Invest in boldness that makes a difference.

Anisa Sojka is the expert in adding the finishing touch to your look via chic and impressive hair pieces–often Minnie Mouse-inspired big hair bows. Alcoolique is the one to turn to if you aim for headbands with colour and detail. Whether in India or Amalfi, they got you.

Accentuate Jewellery will do as it promises, accentuate your look with its imposing pearl headpiece for those who dare. Make sure to wear a bright and bold colour in clothing (fuchsia, lime green, fire red) otherwise it may look more bridal than guest-appropriate.
