20+ Dupatta Styling Ideas For Brides Who Want To Keep Their Hair Open

The way you plan to style your dupatta(s), whether single or double, can make a lot of difference to your bridal look. More so, when you’re wearing ‘em tresses down. It acts as the perfect framing to your bridal glory. However, the trick is to get the placement right. For instance, if you're planning to do your hair into romantic yet unkempt waves, securing the head dupatta in the center can be a rather safe bet. Or, if you want to keep your locks open yet pinned at the back throughout, an experimental double dupatta styling can work wonders, for that added drama. Simply put, there are no rules but we do have some dupatta styling cues for you. Scroll through and save the one you'd love to sport with your open hair.
