Ways to reuse a heavy wedding lehenga

1. Choli and a plain saree

Every wedding lehenga has heavy work on its lehenga and choli. So instead of letting your choli soak up dust, pair it up with a plain saree. You can choose the saree in the same colour as the choli for a monochrome ethnic outfit or better go for a contrasting colour and add a refreshing touch.

2. Lehenga with a different top

As mentioned earlier bridal lehengas, are generally adorned with heavy embroidery work all over them. So just take your lehenga and pair it up with a simple plain blouse. Just like the plain saree, you can either choose a monochromatic theme or go for a total colour contrast.

3. Dupatta for a different outfit

Ditch the choli and lehenga and choose your dupatta to pair it up with a different outfit. For example, a plain salwar kurta and kameez can be paired up with a heavy dupatta. This dupatta can add a touch of sophistication to your simple outfit.

If you are not planning to reuse your bridal lehenga at all, take the dupatta and use it as a cloth material. The dupatta can be stitched up into a short salwar or a different choli altogether. These dupattas also can be used as patchwork for various other outfits since they are made out of light material.
