Nowadays we can see so many memes regarding wedding lehengas showing that buying a lehenga is one of the major reasons for which girls have a craze for getting married. There are memes that say, “I wanted to get married for a lehenga but I got a husband too”, hilarious, isn’t it? Such memes show the love and craze of girls for heavy bridal lehengas, and why should not it be so, after all a video of twirling in a lehenga is a must, also it is a lehenga which is the attire that symbolizes an Indian bride.
Girls buy really heavy lehengas for their big day, but what after that? Usually, the lehenga is kept locked up in a cupboard, or just remembered in the pictures of your wedding album, or is taken out of the forgotten corner in case of a special event, and all this is just because it is very heavy, or cumbersome, or too much fancy for certain events. Well, now the wedding lehenga is something with which one’s emotions are connected and not all people would really like to give it away. Moreover, wedding lehengas are pretty expensive too, and then wearing it just for one time seems pretty much like a waste of money.
So, here we have come up with some amazing ideas to reuse your wedding lehenga and use it to the fullest:
1. Redo the dupatta into ruffles
The recent trends have shown a shift towards ruffles in all forms be it skirts, sleeves, or dupatta! You can get your simple net dupatta transformed into a ruffled dupatta and put it in a sleek manner on your shoulder or throw it simply over both your elbows and have the Disney Princess-like feels with a blend of Indian ethnicity. To do this you can either go to a tailor or boutique, or you can do it yourself at home.
2. Pair up the lehenga with a Kurti
Kurti and lehenga is a perfect combination if you want to look neither too much fancy nor too simple. You can choose different kinds of Kurti from a long straight Kurti to a long flared Kurti, from a short fitted Kurti to a short frock-style Kurti. You can literally pair up your lehenga with any kind of Kurti depending on your preference and comfort demands.
3. Replace the dupatta with a long jacket
To create a crisp ensemble, you can add a long jacket over your blouse instead of a dupatta. A long jacket either in a similar shade or a contrasting color can make your lehenga look completely different. Another thing that you can do is to get a jacket stitched out of your dupatta itself for a more matching outfit.
4. Don a Blazer with your Lehenga
We usually see that Indian marriages take place during the winter season, and the girls really have to bear all the cold just in order to make their outfit look good and not spoil it with a shawl or sweater. So, what you can do is just wear a blazer with your lehenga, either over the blouse or with a bralette, and in case you feel even colder, then you can just wear matching or contrasting skivvies under the blazer.
5. Shirt instead of a blouse
We have come across a number of celebrities wearing shirts along with their lehenga instead of a blouse. You can go for a simple shirt, ruffle sleeve shirt, leg-of-a-mutton shirt, etc. A tucked-in shirt looks very classy with a lehenga and to complete the look you can wear a silver or Kundan neckpiece.
6. Pair the lehenga with a simpler blouse
The blouse of a bridal lehenga set is usually very heavy and feels very warm too, and in case you have to attend an event during summer weather then it can feel very uncomfortable. So, to deal with this problem you can choose to get a plainer blouse stitched in a different style.
7. Chic crop top in place of the blouse
In recent times, we saw the rising popularity of sequin work, and shimmery fabrics, laces, and decorations. You can easily find a crop top with such work which can give a modern look to your traditional lehenga and help you rock any sangeet, bachelorette, Mehendi, or any other function of your relative or cousin’s wedding.
8. Make Anarkali suit out of your lehenga
Getting the lehenga stitched to your blouse can help you create a completely different outfit. Now, some of you might feel that the lehenga will feel very heavy with the blouse, to deal with it you can get the flare of your Anarkali stitched in a lighter fabric to your blouse.
10. Drape Dupatta Differently
A slight difference in the way you drape your dupatta can make a big difference in your complete look. So what you can do is drape the dupatta in some innovative way rather than doing it in the traditional style.
11. Reuse The Dupatta
Dupattas of wedding lehengas are quite heavy, one can always reuse them to make something unique out of it like a cape attached to the blouse!
12. Reuse The Blouse
Why wear the blouse with that one lehenga only when you can add some spice to other outfits by wearing them with your heavy bridal blouse.
13. Unlayer The Lehenga
A bridal lehenga has tons of layers in it to make it look heavy but once the lehenga has done its job, one can get the layers of the lehenga reduces to make it more comfortable to wear.
14. Mix Up The Colours
Bridal lehengas are usually of red, maroon, magenta, etc. so you can play with some colors to give your lehenga a completely different look.
15. Pair It Up With Cape
Capes with Indian wear are a new innovation and you can use a sheer fabric cape with your lehenga to look unique and absolutely different.
