If you want to add an element of your saree to your velvet blouse, the best thing is to add sleeves with the rich border. We love how these two brides have chosen to do so and have done it with two completely different designs, and made it work.

Now let us talk about an embellished velvet bridal blouse for your Kanjeevaram saree. Check with your designer if they can do a velvet blouse cuz it needs different machinery. (I did this and had to check with a whole bunch of people). Do not go OTT with the embellishments if you decide the fabric to be velvet.

Motifs slightly bigger but spaced out, pearl or bead work with heavy work portrayed as a sleeve border all gives fantastic results.
