You can opt for a different dupatta for your reception altogether! Get a contrasting dupatta from your original one (buy it together with your lehenga!) so that the look turns out to be totally different!

Switch Up Your Hairstyle

Yes, changing your hairdo is a major game changer in transitioning from your phera look to a reception look. If you have opted for a bun for the wedding, go for an open hairdo for the reception or vice versa. You can also use extensions or hair jewels which are currently trending to create a new look for your reception!

If you want to create a completely new look, ditch the dupattas and opt for a cape over your blouse and lehenga. Not only will it add a modern look to your attire but you get a whole new outfit. Ensure you pick this when you buy your lehenga so everything looks like one set! You can also style your existing dupatta like a cape with a little help from your drape artist.

Veil Vs No Veil

Change Your Lip Colour

While changing your entire makeup look will cost you time, you can make small changes that can make a big impact on your look. If you have opted for a blush pink lip, go for a bold red one for your reception. Always tell your makeup artist this beforehand so they can plan your look and eye makeup accordingly.

Switch Up Your Jewellery

Opting for a mathapatti or tika for the wedding, ditch that for the reception. While we understand that getting two sets is not a practical idea, especially when it's gold and diamond – you can switch out the smaller jewels to create a new look. Change your nosering or bangles. If you are planning on wearing an imitation set, you can change the whole set to something more modern for the reception night.
