The wedding season is here; a lot of brides-to-be and even bridesmaids are looking for inspiration for the big day, and who better than Bollywood beauties to serve as a constant source of inspiration? Whether it is outfits, styling bangles, draping your dupatta, accessories, or hairstyles, we keep looking up to them for ideas. So when it comes to Gajras – a wedding season classic – we looked no further than our favourite celebs.

Gajras are garlands of flowers commonly made using jasmine flowers. They’re seen as a way to attract good fortune and hold significance in Indian culture as they symbolise beauty and femininity. They are worn by women during auspicious occasions and religious ceremonies. The aroma of flowers are also known to have a calming effect and they’re worn in their hair by women from many cultures in India and South Asia.

Lately, we have been spotting a lot of celebs creating a classic look with Gajras. Remember Sonam Kapoor’s sangeet hairstyle with a string of Gajras on her fishtail braid? She looked like a princess and the Gajra added a magical touch to her overall look. If you want to take your hairstyle game a step further, take inspiration from the B-town celebs’ drool-worthy hairdos with the timeless Gajras.
