Kalire are beautiful bridal accessories which are tied to a bride’s Chura. Ideally, the Kalire are supposed to be a gift from a bride’s maternal relatives. These come as blessings from one’s maternal loved ones and wishes that her home and her life remain a bed of roses.
Sonam wore peacocks in her kalira. And Priyanka personalized hers with a picture from her roka, and a couple of other details from her love story. What would your ideal kaleerein be like? With so many Bollywood brides now redefining the kalira trend, we thought you could use some help identifying online stores where you can find something for your own wedding! Read on to know our top online stores with their signature kalire styles (along with price details!)
We’ve compiled a list of different types of Kalire (alongside Kalire designs) that are available online and in stores.

2. Floral Kalire
Just like floral jewellery has been a hit with brides, floral Kalire are the new kid on the block. Brides these days have started opting for floral Kalire as they aren’t heavy in weight and add a hint of colour to our outfit if you’re wearing a simple gold or pastel shade of Bridal Lehenga.
