Typically, bridal hair accessories tend to be a toss-up between a matha patti or a maang tikka. If you’re looking for an all-eyes-on-me piece, a passa makes for a great pick. While they were traditionally preferred by Muslim brides, passas have gained popularity among brides from across cultures. It has won favour from Bollywood celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Mira Rajput Kapoor who wore it for their own weddings, and also adorned by on-screen brides like Alizeh, essayed by Anushka Sharma in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in ‘Dolly Ki Doli’.
If you’re looking to inject a theatricality to your bridal look, choose one of these ornate semi-precious passas from the renowned UK-based multi-brand boutique, Aurora’s Collection.
The Best Traditional Passa Designs
Whether polki or pearl, gold or silver, a classic piece of jewellery can elevate any look. Moreover, it symbolises love, tradition and heritage. Naba Kundan Passa from Aurora’s Collection is an option that you can style with any of your bridal outfits. Naazneen Kundan Passa features pearl drops and showcases a chaandbali style design. If you’re looking for a multi-purpose option, consider the pair by Raabta by Rahul which can be worn as earrings or as a passa.

The Best Quirky Passa Designs
Don’t mind playing with your look? A passa with an unexpected edge is for you. We suggest wearing it for your pre-wedding event like a mehndi party or cocktail. For a playful vibe, check out the Plume Pasaa with chain detailing that is accented with a pastel peach and blue meenakari man at the centre who is flanked by birds and lotus buds or the Pearl Cluster Passa. Apt for a beachside celebration is Outhouse’s Ocean Passa is a silver plated choice with multi-pearl strings, tusk motifs and encrusted Swarovski crystals. The Chand Passa, as its name suggests, presents a unique take on chaandbali design, but as a hair accessory.
