We know we all fall for the skirt first and then look at the dupatta, but do you realise your dupatta is gonna get photographed more than your skirt since it's closer to the face???

The inner lining or facing of your dupatta matters- it shows in a lot more photos than you'd want, so you can use this to perfection, by adding a contrasting shade or pretty floral one which looks super pretty against your face!

A standard dupatta length is made keeping in mind one dupatta- so you will be draping it all around you and over your head. Its about 2 and a half metres. But if you are taking two, make sure the length is shorter or you will be enveloped in a mass of fabric or half the dupatta trailing behind you.
You can break the 'heavy' look of the lehenga with the dupatta!

A velvet lehenga has a super heavy look about it, if you wanna lighten things up a bit, say to wear it for a morning wedding, then break the heavy look of the lehenga with a dupatta that's much lighter colour and work-wise!
A heavy dupatta on the head is not a good idea

Keep the dupatta on the head light- you'll thank us later! If the dupatta that comes with your lehenga originally is heavy, get a lighter one made for the head if you intend to take it that way- the heavy one will pull and tug your hair and make you miserable!
A Lace or Scalloped Border Can Add a Modern Touch
