Today is the day where the bride and groom promise to marry each other, throwing a big part and having everyone in the family meet together for a special night. An Indian wedding starts with this. So, what will be the saree wearing tip for this function?
Take out that saree, which you have bought for this occasion and let’s add a touch to it. “OLD is GOLD”, so go with the trusty and conventional saree drape and you can never go wrong. In order to get the look right pick a saree that has zari work or heavy border work, or go with a Kanjivaram saree. To rock the night, all you have to do is wear the saree as you normally wear with pleats in the centre, then fix the Pallu freely or keep it pleated depending on your mood and taste. You are all set to make a mark in the event with this elegant style. Also, you can add a royal touch by bringing the Pallu drape around and rest on the wrist.
2. Dhoti-Style Drape for your Sangeet

This perfect saree wearing tip will surely make you leave a mark, may even help you to steal the show.
Today go for the dhoti saree drape style with an added western touch. To rock the look drape the saree around, leave some portion on the non-Pallu end. Let the ends overlap each other, secure it with a pin. Take what is left, make some pleats in the front and toss them into the skirt to create that indo-western style of dhoti. Be the belle of the ball.
3. Bong-Style Drape for the Haldi Ceremony
The start of the big day starts with this ritual in the morning where the women apply turmeric to the bride and groom to bless them.
Today keep it simple and elegant and nothing beats the classic Bengali style of wearing a saree. It's neat, elegant and precise. For this, you will need a big red-bordered white/yellow saree. Firstly make the broader pleats of the saree and finely tuck them into the skirt. Now create the Pallu pleats and just toss it over the shoulder. Then use the Pallu to cover the front bodice and stuck the border of the Pallu inside the skirt. Bring the Pallu from the back to the front and secure it tightly over the shoulder. And viola! The style is ready, now go out and rock it.
4. Mermaid Style Drape for the Wedding
Now comes the big day, where the bride and groom tie the knot to a start of their new life as a husband and wife. But today is where the saree needs to be elegant and still steal the show.

Keep the Pallu free and fix the other end on to the opposite side of the lower skirt. Tada! Try to select a saree with an exquisite Pallu and just go “pretty woman, walking down the street, pretty woman.”
