So the Mehendi is one function when every bride should have as much fun as she can! Of course, you have to look gorgeous and easy breezy while doing that, and that's why we decided to put together some great ideas for your mehendi outfit's dupatta- alternatives and draping styles which not only look great, but are perfect to have fun on the occasion!

Alternatives to Dupattas

These are styles you can consider if you don't want the hassle of a dupatta on the Mehendi- styles that are trendy, and look very unique!

A cold shoulder cape style perhaps?

This one also looks pretty classy, and is a good way to hide the waist if that's what you want!

This one involving a waistbelt

A waist belt not only looks pretty, but keeps the dupatta in place- whether you do the normal drape or the seedha pallu one!

This one which is a more structured drape
