6 Ways to Drape Wedding Sarees

Sarees are one of the most classic attires preferred by ladies across the country for all cultural events. Carrying a saree off like a boss lady at events is on every girl’s checklist. And if you do manage to get through any of the Indian wedding functions without untangling yourself in your own drapes, oh what a pro you would be! What if we told you that there was more than one way to style the same classic saree that too without an ounce of extra effort or investment.

To add some more glimmer to your standard classic saree, here are some ways you can drape wedding sarees and turn a classic wedding look to chic in an instant. All you need is to pay attention to the details.

1.      The Scarf Neck

One of the lesser known yet cool go-to looks is the scarf neck look. All you got to do is wrap the pallu of a normally tied saree around your neck and voila! you are good to go. You know an extra advantage; this look keeps you warm and goes great for winter events. And for summers just couple it with an off-shoulder blouse to balance out the cloth and there has the perfect look for a sunny morning wedding event.

2.      The Butterfly

Remember the saree adorned by our very own Desi girl PeeCee in Dostana? Well, that look is the butterfly styled saree doing its magic. All you have to do is make extra sleek pleats of the pallu at the shoulder of the saree and pin them on. You can also add a fancy clip or brooch to keep the pleats at the place. The look not only highlights your curves in the saree but also makes one look taller and slimmer. The pleats being properly in place do not interfere with movement and there you have your wedding saree in which you can dance your head off without bothering to get stuck in detangling your drapes.

3.      The Dhoti Style

Mostly adorned and made famous by the Bollywood style diva Sonam Kapoor, this off-beat look is sure to turn heads at family weddings. To get this look, one can simply exchange your petticoat with some Indian salwar or leggings and you have your dhoti on the go.

4.      Mumtaz Saree

Like the name suggests, this style was made famous by the all-time glorious Mumtaz. The style got famous for its peculiar drapes around the legs that went all along till the waist. Though figuring out the perfect way of tying the style can be bit tricky, the secret ingredient lies in the layering starting right at the bottom. The saree will not only give you retro feels but also ensure the diva attention that you deserve.

5.      The Belted Waist

Easy and gorgeous, this look is the best if you are a fan of minimalism or keep running out of creative amendments to your wedding saree. Just pick up the staple belt and tie it around the waist clinching the pallu. If you are planning to go all out on traditional, you can also use your mother’s old kamarbandh to do the trick.

6.      The front Pallu

This style of saree drape is one of the easiest to achieve the least possible effort. Just take the pallu from behind instead of bringing it to the front and tucking on the shoulder. To get a more Gujarati tinge one can also add pleats to the pallu hanging from the front and tuck the corners far from each other, making the perfect peacock pleats at the saree drape.
