How to Choose Your Bridal Dupatta?

Choosing the right fabric and style of bridal dupatta is a highly important and tough pick while you are selecting your D-day outfit. Make sure to have the below-mentioned points in mind while you are selecting your dupatta.

• If you are thinking of styling your look with double dupattas, then the length of your dupatta should be such that it does not get stranded while walking down the aisle.

• No one ever notices this but more than a lehenga, the bridal dupatta is the star in your wedding pictures. So, be vigilant while you choose a color to get one that suits your face and looks good on you.

• We advise you to have a lightweight dupatta for your head if you wear a heavy lehenga because it will be troublesome to carry the heavy dupatta on your head.

• Choose from a gorgeous dupatta with cut-out borders or embellishments to transform your bridal look into something that’s more appealing.

• Try opting for contrasting or printed dupattas if you have a monochromatic lehenga to add vibrancy to your garb.

Attractive velvet dupatta for a Royal look

Remember that the dupatta that’s on your head is nearest to the face, so it’s important to pick an appropriate color of dupatta to bring out the best in you. If you are marrying in winter weather, it’s important to choose an embellished velvet dupatta for draping around your body. You can style this look with a heavy choker-style necklace, heavy kaleeras, maang tika/matha patti, and a matching set of jhumka earrings. Don’t forget your pretty chooda because it can be your style statement.

Lightweight contrasting Organza dupatta

Organza is a thin sheer fabric made from silk, finding its roots in Turkestan. These days you can also find modern organzas designed from synthetic thread fibers. It is lucid and has a soft luster to it. Your dupatta should be lightweight and elegant. Prefer an Organza fabric for the head dupatta if you want to go for something light yet palatial.

Going with organza fabric, choose to keep your look subtle yet royal. Rather than layering multiple pieces of jewelry, wear one heavy Kundan necklace with matching earrings and maang tika.

Common but elegant Net Dupattas

Net Dupattas are the most commonly seen in almost every bridal look and at least 1 of the 2 dupattas a bride wears is of net fabric. Net is simple, lightweight, and easily complements just any fabric. The beauty of a net dupatta is that you can flaunt your bun and flowers/ gajra visible through it.
