5 creative ways to re-wear your bridal lehenga
What's the story
Every soon-to-be bride looks forward to buying her bridal lehenga. However, they are unsure about what to do with this fancy garment after the wedding.
As time goes on, bridal styles tend to shift so drastically that it becomes impossible to wear incredibly costly clothing twice.
But thankfully there are many ways to style them and wear them again. Consider these options.
Hack 1
Wear it with a crop top
The weight of the lehenga is a major reason you find it difficult to wear your bridal lehenga after the wedding.
To give it a completely different look, consider taking out the cancan and wearing the skirt with a fashionable crop top instead of the heavily embroidered blouse.
Besides being trendy, crop tops also provide an edgy touch to your bridal lehenga.
Hack 2
Turn it into a shrug
Making an old lehenga into a shrug is one of the most common ways to repurpose lehenga.
A dupatta and a few safety pins are all you need. Alternatively, you may ask your tailor to turn the dupatta into a jacket or shrug, then wear it with contemporary clothing radiating an Indo-Western style.
You can pair it with lehengas, kurta sets or other ensembles.
Hack 3
Pair it with a fresh saree
You can always wear your blouse again even if you decide not to wear your wedding lehenga skirt again.
For a fresh and distinct style, pair your wedding blouse with a new saree in a matching or contrasting shade.
To make your blouse the focal point, opt for a simple saree or one with minimal embellishments or a contrasting color.
Hack 4
Convert lehenga into sharara
Another great step can be to just make use of the lehenga skirt and convert it into sharara or gharara pants.
It will give you a new trendy look. The designs, embroidery and material often go well when converted into a sharara or gharara.
You can even pair it with a long kurta top for a new look altogether.
Hack 5
Style the dupatta
Altering the way you drape the dupatta on your bridal lehenga will enable you to wear it again.
You can take advantage of the fact that bridal lehengas typically include voluminous dupattas.
With a bit of assistance, you can transform your bridal dupatta into a beautiful saree, creating various stunning variations that will make it a sight to behold.
