Move Away Gajra, Bun Jewellery Is Having A Moment

Nothing says classic like a sleek, middle-parted bun with a gajra around it. But sometimes, it may also be a great idea to shake things up a little and adorn your bun with pretty jewellery instead. Or, better yet, wear flowers and hair accessories together. After all, the world is your oyster when it comes to bun accessories. From hair pins and clips to headbands and kanautis…your options are endless! If you’re planning your look for the next monsoon wedding, we suggest you adorn your bun with a statement hair accessory that can go with everything—from sari to lehenga and corset pants. Here are the pieces to look at.

Top 10 beautiful accessories for buns

These heart-shaped gold hair pins from Heritage Panjab remind us of the bridal jewellery from our grandmother’s era. They look beautiful, classic, and very vintage. If you’re going for a simple, traditional, and old-school look, these hair accessories will complement your outfit beautifully.

Nothing elevates a look like animal and bird-motif jewellery. This beautiful statement bird motif hair pin from The Amethyst Store is hard to go unnoticed. We would pair this with a big, low bun.

You can’t talk about bun accessories and leave bun cages out of the discussion. We are loving this beautiful, minimalistic bun cage from Amama. 

Imagine wearing this hair pin from Isharya, and having the fringes move with you as you dance and sway! Our pro tip is to pair this accessory with a slightly higher bun, since it will leave room for the fringes to show beautifully. 

Speaking of accessories with hangings, we are loving this super elaborate hair accessory from Tribe Amrapali. We would pair it with a dramatic traditional outfit—like an exquisite sari draped in a Bengali-style drape, or a double-pallu sari. 

A beautiful, under-discovered territory when it comes to bun accessories, is sarpech. Adorning your bun with a sarpech will instantly add more opulence and gravitas to your look. Our pick? This sarpech-inspired accessory from Anu Merton!

If you are looking for a really minimalistic (yet statement) hair accessory for an intimate event like a chooda ceremony,  we suggest this beautiful lotus-shaped bun accessory from Roma Narsinghani. 

If you’re looking for a super glam hair accessory for the cocktail night, we’ve got you covered too. This stunning, super OTT bejewelled hair accessory from Outhouse is the perfect match for women who are all about drama and maximalism. This accessory will work perfectly with a sexy, blingy cocktail dress and a slickback updo.

Another great accessory to be paired with your cocktail look is this starry mohawk hairband from The Vintage Snob. We would pair it with a blingy pre-draped sari, or a bodycon off-shoulder gown.

You know what makes a pair of statement earrings even more dramatic? Kanautis. A good pair of earrings with kanautis that go up your bun is one of the most elegant, theatrical hairstyles ever, and will singlehandedly elevate any look.
