From traditional temple jewellery to pastel contemporary ones, floral bangles are the perfect add on for a summer bridal ensemble.
Summer weddings are synonymous with joy, sunshine and everything floral. The beauty of a summer bride is only enriched with the touch of floral jewellery. It echoes the energy of summer—fresh, young, vibrant and full of love.
While real flowers are a great choice, they will wilt by sundown. And for a long celebration, it is not the best option to go for. Instead, flower-inspired jewellery is a great option to exude the aura of summer without the fear of smelling like rotten flowers. We are talking about one of these pieces of jewellery today—floral bangles.
With floral patterns etched, carved or incorporated in many creative ways, floral bangles are a perfect addition to the summer bridal trousseau. So let the flowers be there for the decoration, and style your hands with stunning flower bangles for a dreamy bridal look.
Here are the six most stunning types of floral bangles, compiled by Team Wedding Affair that you can choose from.
Classic Gold Bangles
Timeless and elegant, the classic gold bangles with floral motifs are there in every Indian mother’s jewellery box. Flowers are one of the most common inspirations for, as well as the most used motif, in Indian jewellery. You can’t go wrong with these classic ones. Think embossed roses, lotus vines, blooming patterns carved in antique gold finishes. It’s also perfect for you if you are a fan of vintage jewellery. They look strikingly beautiful against a traditional red or maroon lehenga, perfect for your regal bridal attire.

Contemporary Filigree
Detail and delicacy—filigree bangles are the epitome of feminine grace. Blend it with contemporary floral designs and you get the perfect flower bangles for the modern bride. Think lightweight pieces featuring lace-like floral patterns, often handcrafted in gold, silver, or rose gold. The openwork frame gives the designers a chance to be more experimental with the silhouette. With light coloured ensembles, such as pastels or ivory, these bangles blend subtlety with elegance.
Polki Bloom Bangles
Can any list of bridal jewellery be complete without polki jewellery? It’s a classic in our culture, particularly in weddings. Floral patterns with the uncut stones craft a classic story of elegance that is both playful and elegant. These bangles often feature petals outlined with polkis, floral centres made from flat-cut diamonds and kundan detailing for that added royal effect. Ideal for a wedding day or reception, polki bangles with floral details offer grandeur without any added heaviness.
Meenakari Magic
Want to bring a pop of colour to your waist with your bridal ensemble? Then meenakari floral bangles might be exactly what you need. In blooming hues, this traditional art form uses enamels to fill floral patterns. Choose from fuchsia, peacock blue, sunshine yellow and many more and match them with your lehenga. These are perfect for mehendi, haldi and any outdoor event for their playful and vibrant charm.
Floral Cuffs
For modern brides who want to make a bold statement with their choice of jewellery, this one is the one. Floral cuffs are a contemporary favourite for their modern edge mixed with dramatic flair. These are wider than bangles, often sculpted with metals and embellished with crystals and pearls. A single oversized flower or petal motifs running through the cuff, or a simple blossoming vine around the wrist, this style will add shine to your fusion looks.Â
Minimal Bracelets
The last floral bangles on our list are for the brides who want to have the delicate elegance without being over-the-top. Minimal bracelets with delicate floral patterns are perfect for lighter events where your outfit is also chic and minimal. Think slender bands with flower motifs, or a dainty trail of petals, or a single rose with a pearl sitting on a band. These are subtle, chic and graceful.
