Five Ways to Revamp Your Lehenga After the Wedding

The first step to re-using your dress is to break it; choli, dupatta, and lehenga. You can wear that embroidered choli with any other plain sari or a gharara. Whether the color is matching with the choli or comes in contrast, it’s your choice. Dupatta being heavily embroidered can be worn with any plain silk suit or a simple dress made out of any other fabric. You can wear it with Shalwar Kameez, Churidaar pajama, or even a shirt with straight cut trouser.

Being too heavily embellished makes a lehenga difficult to wear on other occasions. You can wear your bridal dress on your siblings’ or a friend’s wedding, but that would be stealing the bride’s spotlight. To lessen the embellishments of the dress, you can add other pieces too. You can wear a long jacket or a shrug to balance the heavy embroidery.

If your bridal dress is too heavily embellished, then swap your blouse and dupatta with a simple one. You could simply wear your embellished lehenga with a simpler blouse or the vice versa. This way you can use your bridal dress on other functions as well.

Thanks to your bridal dupatta, you can turn it into a stunning saree. Attach a plain colored three-meter cloth to your dupatta. Make sure the color is matched with dupatta; use the same bridal blouse, or can get a new blouse stitched. Isn’t it an amazing way to have a new saree?

If your wedding dress is too old and outdated, you can cut down the motifs and borders and use it on any other plain saree or a plain Shalwar Kameez.

Now that you know how to re-use your bridal lehenga, don’t wrap that special dress and keep in the cupboard forever. Revamp your dress in the above-mentioned ways and flaunt your new gorgeous dress in wedding functions.
