What’s new and trending in the wedding world you ask? A stunning head accessory called Sheeshpatti or sheeshphool. The traditional headgear is native to the state but has slowly and steadily made way to the bride’s hearts all over. For Indian brides, there’s no dearth of wedding jewelry styles to amp up their wedding look and sheeshpatti certainly adds the much-needed drama to their bridal flair. Celebrity brides Deepika Padukone and Kajal Aggarwal wore these gorgeous Kundan-Gold sheeshphool on their big day. And if you were mesmerized by Deepika’s utter elegance as Padmavati, sheeshpatti made a primary part of her look.
Sheeshphool’s Visual Appearance Differs From Its Counterparts
The demure maangtikka makes for a priority pick for brides wanting to exude simplicity on their big day. Next, comes its elaborate version, mathapattis in uncut diamonds, gold, and pearls that are often a popular choice for bridal headgear. Besides, paasa, diamond-encrusted hair accessories, and borlas enter the trousseau frequently too. For mehendi and haldi, brides often opt for floral jewelry counterparts of these usual choices. But the latest and trending sheeshphool designs lend a different visual appearance.
Unlike the mathapattis, the sheeshpattis don’t grace the hairline. While the drooping dangler comes on the head, the bands lie a few inches behind the hairline. The embellished bands can be made out of gold, kundan, or multi-layered strings – the options are plenty. And conventionally speaking, the bands came separately and the maangtikka and the sheeshpatti band were two jewelry parts coming together to form an exquisite piece of the bauble.
If you’re impressed by this trending accessory and want to sport it as a part of your bridal look too, here are 25 sheeshpatti designs worn by real brides to inspire your own!
