Gorgeous choli with a plain lehenga to help create a perfectly graceful look
The entire idea of not wearing your wedding lehenga choli again came from the fact that the combination of the three sets, being the choli, lehenga, and dupatta, appears to be too heavy. But nobody said you cannot wear them separately. Go ahead and get that beautiful choli and style it with a plain ghagra or skirt.
If you are somebody who loves Navratri like us and if you already have plenty of colourful and lightweight ghagras in your wardrobe which will go perfectly with your wedding choli, don't hesitate to pair them together. Go a little light on jewellery; maybe just add jhumkas and a cute little bindi; this will give you a perfect look for festivities, weddings, and every special occasion imaginable! Wear it for a Dandiya or Garba night confidently. You will be the best-dressed lady on the ground for sure! After all, we all quietly wish for that to happen, don't we?
Wedding lehenga with a warm-toned t-shirt to create a flamboyant look
This one is somewhat similar to what we talked about earlier, except that here you switch your wedding choli for the gorgeous lehenga. Pair your elegant lehenga with a simple t-shirt. The only thing which can make or break your look is the tone you choose for your t-shirt. The ideal t-shirt should be one that tones down the outfit instead of adding additional bling to your attire. Meaning, that rather than going for poppy colours, opt for neutral tones. A plain black or white t-shirt will do wonders. Pair this with silver or golden hoops, maybe a high ponytail, or just let your hair loose. Go with whatever makes you feel comfortable, and prepare to look like a sassy goddess!
Wedding dupatta with a salwar suit of your choice for a sophisticated chic look
This one is the simplest way of reusing your wedding lehenga choli. Pairing your wedding dupatta with a simple salwar suit will give it an effortlessly elegant look. If you are someone who does not mind getting all the attention, and being showered with compliments without really putting much effort into your outfit, go for this! Believe us; people will turn heads wherever you go.
Wedding lehenga with a shirt for an Indo-western look
This look focuses more on an Indo-western look instead of a traditional or ethnic one. You can pair your lehenga with a white shirt to create a picture-perfect and modern look. With this attire, you will radiate confidence, and everybody around you will make sure they do not mess with a lady as fierce looking as you. Imagine yourself in your lehenga, with a long white shirt styled with a beautiful oxidised statement necklace and a jutti! We do not know which other outfit you can trust in your wardrobe, but you can certainly place 100% trust in this attire to give you the perfect Indo western look. A white shirt on top of your wedding lehenga simply cannot disappoint.
Wear the lehenga with an Anarkali top for a unique look
This is a brilliant way of rescuing your lehenga choli. Got a function to attend in which you absolutely cannot afford to look too simple, nor too overdressed? Put on your lehenga, and to go with it, add just about any Anarkali top; obviously, we are kidding! Remember the balance we talked about earlier? Pick a basic Anarkali top and throw in some oxidised jewellery like a cuff bracelet and a handcrafted jutti, and you are ready to impress.
Lehenga with a jacket for a sassy look
A simple modification to the shirt and lehenga combination is a jacket replacing the shirt. A plus side to this is you can add the jacket on top of the shirt as well. Looking cool in traditional attire has never been easier, has it? If you got a red lehenga like most brides, a white shirt and a long jacket would create wonders. If it is the winter season, this jacket will most definitely keep you warm, along with making you look badass.
Dupatta draped like a saree for a spellbinding look
What if we tell you that you can use your dupatta as a saree drape. Crazy, isn’t it? This one might not sound right but it will surely look just right. Plus you would be amazed at how one heavy dupatta can elevate your normal saree or even a suit for that matter. This outfit will be perfect for any festivities and you would wish you had known this little trick before.
