You have come to seen enough choice in Indian wedding sarees but what about their draping styles? We want to look out for you in every way possible and hence we handpicked some of the most popular types of draping styles that you can try out for your wedding day.

Nivi draping is the most popular out of all and every Indian woman drape their sarees in Nivi draping on regular basis. In this type, the saree goes around the waist and you make 7-8 pleats and tuck it in the petticoat. The remaining pallu goes on the shoulder in form of drapes and there you go. You can pack the entire look with a kamarband to ensure that your saree always remains in its position.

It is the time to ditch your petticoat because you need a legging to wear the dhoti drapes. Take your saree from the shorter width i.e. vertically. Make drapes of all the fabric and tuck it inside your legging. Now, take the remaining fabric and take it from behind your back to the front like the normal drapes and pleat it on the shoulder. For such draping, you need your saree to be shorter around 3.5 meters only. Also, do not forget to match your leggings too.

One of the most sophisticated ways of wearing a saree is in seedha pallu drapes. The popular wedding of Isha Ambani must have given you enough styling tips for it. All you have to do is to pleat the saree and tuck it on your waist. Now, instead of putting it on the right shoulder, you need to take it on the left one and that too from behind so the drapes come in the front. After pleating and securing it on the shoulder, take the edge of the pallu and cover your front part with it and secure it behind with a pin and you are good to go.

This is what we call modernising the Nivi drapes and making it look even more regal. So, you drape the saree exactly in Nivi drapes but instead of making pleats on the shoulder, the saree remains free fall and you can secure it with a pin on your shoulder. It is the best way to flaunt your rich pallu and make the most out of your saree.
