#TrendAlert: Customised Chura Covers Are A Thing & Brides Are Lovin’ Them!

Hey brides-to-be, it’s your special day and you want everything to be perfect, obviously. From picking out the perfect lehenga to buying that stunning jewellery, you leave no stone unturned to look your best on your D-day. One thing that’s an imperative part of the dulhan’s wedding look is the chura. Brides from all cultures are making churas a part of their wedding look and now we even have something know as chura covers!

What are chura covers & why are they needed?

Well, if you don’t know much about the tradition of chura, then let us tell you that this is a gift to all of us from Punjabi weddings. Traditionally, the maternal uncle of a Punjabi bride gifts the chura. As per tradition, the bride isn’t allowed to see the chura before she gets all dressed up as a bride because it is considered inauspicious. Therefore, white handkerchiefs were used to cover the bangles. Enter, customised chura covers!
