Sarees have always been more than just attire β they are a story woven in threads, a symbol of grace, and a timeless expression of Indian tradition. Whether itβs a Banarasi saree, a Kanjeevaram masterpiece, or a delicate bridal saree, every drape has a soul of its own. At DORI, we believe that styling a saree is about celebrating who you are β effortlessly elegant, confident, and rooted in tradition.
π« 1. The Classic Draping Styles
There are many ways to drape a saree β and each style tells a different story.
- Nivi Style (Classic Draping): The most popular and versatile drape that suits every occasion. Perfect for office parties, festive celebrations, and weddings.
- Seedha Pallu: Traditionally worn in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, this style adds a regal touch, letting the pallu pattern shine in front.
- Bengali Draping: Characterized by wide pleats and a front pallu, this look is graceful and perfect for traditional occasions.
- Modern Belted Drape: Pair your saree with a belt to define your waist and add a modern twist to ethnic elegance.
π 2. Styling the Kanjeevaram Saree
A Kanjeevaram saree is a masterpiece of South Indian craftsmanship β rich in color, heavy in texture, and divine in its aura.
- Jewellery Tip: Gold or temple jewellery complements the grandeur of Kanjeevaram beautifully. You can even pair it with statement chokers or antique jhumkas.
- Blouse Choices: Opt for a contrast blouse in deep maroon, royal blue, or emerald green for a striking appearance.
- Hairstyle: A low bun adorned with jasmine flowers adds the perfect traditional touch.
π 3. The Perfect Bridal Saree Look
Your bridal saree is the soul of your wedding day β a symbol of your new beginning wrapped in six yards of love.
