Drape it beautifully

Be it a wedding or sangeet, now is the season when you can bring out those beautiful drapes and head out, looking (and feeling) extremely stylish.

If you’re worried about a particular saree not working for you, this list of the current wedding season saree trends.

Gold and grandeur
If you hadn’t figured out what to wear for your bestie’s wedding reception or any grand occasion, then this is your cue. Nothing spells grandeur like metallic hues do. Pair your metallic sarees with minimum accessories.

For an all-out glam look, fix your hair into a braided updo, add drama onto your eyes, use brozer and blush to really define your cheek bones, and wear a glossy lip colour. That way, you’d be left looking sharp, and divalicious. To tone down the look, however, style it with a contrasting single-coloured blouse and keep your makeup simple.

Eye for embroidery
If you are hung up on vintage sagas and can’t get your mind off those embroidered sarees, then this one is just for you. However, keep in mind that the kind of embroidery and how you work with it can dramatically change your look.

For an occasion that does not require you to be all decked up, go in for a saree with a thin, embroidered border. An embroidered blouse with a plain saree can work well for a friend’s wedding. Go in for embroidered pallus, or heavier, fully worked up sarees only if it’s a wedding in the family or you’re really close to the couple getting hitched.

Sheer love
Sheer is for all. This is one trend that nobody can possibly get over, and the best part is, no matter what your body type, you can don the trend, remaining confident that it’s going to help you achieve to look you desire. The delicate and ethereal feel that sheers bring is unbeatable. For a more relaxed occasion like mehendi, opt for lace – you get to wear sheer, yet, you’re not going to be underdressed (plain net) or a little over-the-top-than-needed (embellished net).

The latter, though, can be worn at the reception – think sarees in nudes, with metallic embellishments, or one in pastel shades. Add a sleek kamarbandh to your attire; this will instantly transform your look.
