23 Short Mangalsutra Designs For The Millennial Bride

Hey ladies, are you planning to get married this year or probably in the coming year? No no no, don’t be too soon to judge, we aren’t that aunt who keeps on asking the same question over and over again – when are you getting married, it’s time to get married, you are at a suitable age to get married, etc. But if you are someone who’s planning on taking the next step, then we have covered something useful for you – Mangalsutra!

‘Mangalsutra’ is said to be a symbol of marriage and it indicates a wife’s love and commitment for her husband. It carries immense significance in Hindu tradition and culture. It is a sacred thread traditionally tied around a bride’s neck by her groom on the wedding day. But, nowadays trends are changing, and just recently we have heard of a story where the bride also tied a Mangalsutra around her groom’s neck as a sign of love and equality on their wedding day.

We are amused and significantly happy seeing these changing trends and traditions and the same goes for the new styles of mangal sutra designs. You may have seen stylish actresses like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and many others wearing minimalist yet beautiful Mangalsutras at their weddings. And just like those designs, we have listed a few more unique and modern mangalsutra designs for your wedding day.
