A bridal lehenga is often laden with beads and gems, and if you choose it for attending weddings, it might feel like you’re going overboard and stealing the bride’s thunder. You can always neutralize it by adding a plain jacket or a shrug.

In case your bridal lehenga is adorned with embellishments, then you can pair it with a simple dupatta and blouse to make it suitable for wearing at formal functions.

Well, you didn’t think about this one. Did you? You can transform your bridal dress into a gorgeous saree. Add a new blouse and a 3-meter plain colored cloth to your dupatta with a fine contrasting color, and you are good to go!
The ladies who feel their bridal lehenga has gone outdated, have no need to worry. What you can do is cut down borders or dabka motifs and have then attached to plain saree or shirt trouser.
One of the simplest ways to re-use a bridal lehenga is by removing the can-can. This removal will reduce the lehengas volume and make it totally worthwhile for any traditional occasion!

As for the choli, you can replace the actual bridal choli with a long kurta. For formal functions or weddings, attires like these are absolutely festival-ready!
You should go ahead and add a touch of you to your lehenga! A little experimentation will teach you many great lessons in the long run. The only thing you need to do is find the right idea to do it and you are all set to slay!
Some women might not want to entirely change the look of their bridal ensemble. In that case, you can add a little layer to the choli and turn your gorgeous dress into a lehenga Anarkali.

A collared shirt is preferred by many ladies. A button down shirt gives a very elegant look and makes you stand out. When paired with your embellished lehenga, it will be a good choice for closer-to-home weddings.

Those who went for a plain bridal lehenga, should pair it with a heavily embroidered front open shirt or blouse. If you are not opting for the same color, you can always consider pastels and neutrals.

Why not implement this new insta trend? A net cape will change your look after you pair it with your bridal lehenga.
As we can imagine, not every dress will need a lot of alternations. If your attire happens to be the one of those, you can choose a shimmery belt to add to it. Belts are pretty much trending and if Sabyasachi is doing it then why not us?

You should work on it piece by piece. An embroidered choli, for example, can be worn with a plain saree. Whether to keep it matching or contrast, is entirely up to you!
On weddings, most brides usually pin up their dupatta at the back of their head. Post-wedding, you can select a flowy dupatta drape and add a twist to your appearance! Just like Anush Ammar did on her brother’s wedding!
