If you want to experience explosion of culture, mind-boggling foodogasm and soak your eyes to beauties regaling in silk pattu and fragrant jasmine flowers, head to a South Indian wedding!

It is a grand display of culture at its best! And people in horde, with bated breath, wait to see one thing - the bride. Her richly embellished Kanjeevaram saree, intricately crafted gold jewellery, and of course, the highlight of any South Indian wedding - her bridal hairstyle.

There was once a time when many aunts, sisters and mother of the bride used to come together, hand-pick the flowers, sit in the verandah and manually craft the "jadai", also known as the bridal headpiece.

It would roughly take 24 hours or more, depending on how elaborate the patterns were. As the time went by, the traditional jadai evolved to become more contemporary.

Where once only flowers were used, now bejeweled broaches are woven in, sometimes with the flowers, other times the jadai are designed with just the broaches!

However, one thing remained the same, and that is the exquisiteness or the grandeur of the headpieces, which never diminished, if anything, it only magnified with time.

South Indian bridal hairstyles are sheer work of delicate art, and this wedding season, how could we stay away from exploring such an art!

Here are our hand-picked bridal South Indian hairstyles that we just can't get enough of! Take a look.
