5. Weigh it Down

Lehengas usually have a lot of gher or flair in them. If you have plans to wear your wedding lehenga again, a good idea would be to tone it down a little. This way you won’t look like a bride again or worse, a pseudo bride!

6. Occasions

Your married life will encounter many occasions where you need to doll up. Like karva chauth and first diwali. Reuse the wedding lehenga in a unique way and compliments will come you way! The entire crew of Bole Chudiyan seemed to be getting married that very day so why should you look any less on Karva Chauth?

9. Mix Match Elements

Also another way of reusing your old lehenga is to mix and match totally different outfits to create a vivid contrast. Just make sure not go over-the-top flashy.
