Styling Mathapati On Silk Saree For Wedding Guest Look

Mathapatti also known as ‘Shringar Patti’ is a piece of jewellery that covers the forehead and extends into the hair along the sides of the head.

Matha Patti is a gorgeous and exquisite piece of jewelry that can add an aura of grandeur and elegance to any attire. It is an absolute must-have jewelry piece for brides who wish to elevate their overall appearance and make a royal impression on their wedding day.

The matha patti and nath are widely recognized as bridal essentials in Eastern culture. These jewels go perfectly with a bridal lehenga choli and saree and are symbols of grace, elegance, and royalty. As the couple’s family, the bride’s mother, sister, etc. have also been seen donning similar ornaments as they are related to the happy couple.

BUT….is it acceptable for a guest to attend a wedding wearing Matha Patti or Nath? This is one of the main questions that people have these days. Is it too odd or does it seem okay? The Matha Patti distinguishes a wedding as an occasion-specific identity.

Because of our ingrained traditions and beliefs, a matha patti or a nath cannot be worn at a wedding as a guest unless it is associated with the wedding’s theme. Because it may look like the person is attempting to draw attention away from the bride. If that’s the case in your culture, it is best to stick to normal jewelry like necklaces and earrings.

If wearing such jewelry is not explicitly prohibited, guests may carry it about without drawing too much unwanted attention. The key to pulling off that look is to be minimal. Avoid wearing flashy attire, stick to minimal makeup, and don’t overdo your hair.

Also, it is preferable to wear only one of the two at one time rather than both at once, for example wearing Math Patti and excluding the Nath, as this could be seen as being too bridal.

However, if you want to try the nath, wear it as your only jewelry piece and skip the necklace, earrings, or bangles. Even if you skip all other jewelry pieces, you can still look beautiful with a nath and side-swept hair. Furthermore, the type of attire you are wearing to the wedding will help to decide whether or not you should opt for these pieces of jewelry.

For instance, you cannot wear such jewelry with an Indo Wedding Gown since it does not go with the dress. On the other hand, you could pair such jewelry with a party-wear lehenga. A matha patti looks great on guests and gives an effortless look when worn with a Party Wear Lehenga.

Such tiny details in mind do matter before deciding whether wearing these jewelry is worth it or not.

To improve your overall look, choose your Matha Patti according to the size and shape of your face. These stylistic pointers can assist you in selecting the perfect Matha Patti for your wedding.

You can choose Mathapatti based on the size and shape of your face. When choosing the right mathapatti, it’s important to consider the size and shape of your face which can affect your overall look. So, make sure to select the mathapatti that will perfectly complement your features and make you feel confident and beautiful.

1. As per the size of your face: Select your headgear/matha patti as per the size of your face. Choose maang tikka over matha patti if you have a small face. If you still want to opt for a Matha Patti, go for a simple one that will be manageable for your features. Choose Matha Patti with elaborate designs and embellishments if your face is big. This will accentuate your best features and beautifully define your face.

2. As per the shape of your face: if your face is round, choose a Mathapatti with longer pendants or chains to lengthen your features. To soften the contours of your square-shaped face, choose mathapatti with ghungroos or pearl droppings. On the other hand, an oval face can wear almost any type of matha patti as the face is naturally balanced. So, pick the one that accentuates your natural beauty and flawlessly matches your features.

I donned this gorgeous, soft, double-shaded peach silk saree for my cousin sister’s wedding. This meticulously crafted classic Matha Patti /Sheesh Patti/Head gear combines modern elegance with tradition and is my hero accessory. Donning this simple statement piece has certainly uplifted my fashion game without much overdo to shine like never before.

I completed my hairstyle with a white gajra. Just loved how much grace it added to my overall look. The not-too-obvious glass bangles in yellow, orange, pink, and purple perfectly jelled with my saree. The gold clutch helped me carry my makeup essentials in style.

Finally, these pretty shades gave me the feel of a Sabyasachi model ;).
