Gajras Are So Last Season! These 8 Bridal Hairstyles With Flowers Are So Stunning And Fresh
Ever wondered why the gajra is such an integral part of a bridal ensemble? According to Hindu mythology, gajras are an essential part of the solah shringaar, the sixteen beauty elements integral to dressing up – it was associated it with a bride – but now it’s just a part of going all out. Traditionally, the gajra was usually draped around tight braid or a bun. Jasmine flowers are the go-to to make these gajras, chosen for their quality of staying fragrant for a long time.
While the jasmine gajra remains the most popular hair accessory for brides, there have been many innovations in their styles and the flowers used. Floral hair styling for brides has evolved into an elaborate art with no rules and restrictions…and that is very exciting to us. From creating styles that highlight a single element of one’s joda to OTT looks for the brides who like all that drama and a bit more, there is something for everyone!
The bridal season always heralds with it the trend of floral hair accessories. But this year, we saw an early and sensational incoming of the gajra among the best and brightest of our fashion girls. And while the mogra buns like such…

The Braided Blooms
The braided floral arrangement is not new for brides but instead of a criss-cross style, we are loving the scattered garden blooms and wildflowers instead.
