Choli – Pair it with another one of your Sarees Lehenga – Match it with another choli, corset or a crop top and use a contrast dupatta from the color tones of your lehenga.

Recycling Tip 3: Convert your lehenga into an anarkali and get more bang for your buck. You can still use the dupatta with the suit.

Recycling Tip 4: Use accessories and jewelry to dress-up or dress down the look. e.g. Pair a plain button down with the skirt and dress it down with a belt. Or pair a plain tunic over the lehenga and add oodles of jewelry to dress up.

Recycling Tip 5: Go sleeveless!  This is a popular choice for many young women, but more importantly, the sleeveless blouse or choli is a great way to add a modern twist on that wedding sari or lehenga. It’s a great way to show off arm jewellery as well. You can either remove sleeves on your current blouse or buy a separate plainer sleeveless blouse for a great new look.

Recycling Tip 6: Wear it as it is. I know what you are thinking, “I don’t want to look like a bride at someone else’s wedding (or function)” – You won’t. If you pair the complete lehenga set with simple hair-do, simple (er) jewelry and toned-down make up there is no way you would look like a bride.

    You can revamp your wedding lehenga by using contrast dupattas, light embroidered or plain blouses. To make it more stunning, you can add full sleeve jackets over lehenga.
    Thanks for sharing valuable information.

    Great tips Tanvi… Nowadays many people are following this trend of recycling their wedding dress and of course it’s a good idea as who wants to let her money get wasted by only wearing the wedding attire once…recently I also recycled my wedding dress by making a new long shirt plus trouser with my wedding dupatta:)
