ONCE. It’s going to happen just once. And if you don’t do it right, you might move on, but you’ll never really get over it. We’re talking about your wedding pictures—what did you think?

Let’s face it, we can’t even begin to count how many cameras will be on you on your wedding day. Who wouldn’t want to slay? If there’s one thing (out of the many things) writing about weddings has taught me, it’s that every bride wants to stand out, truly enjoy her big day... and have stunning pictures to relive those amazing memories.

You’ve got your outfits ready, and you’re probably planning to book the best photographer with the most convenient dates. But we’ve got another hack to make sure your pictures are 10x better than before!

Try wearing a contrasting second dupatta to really make your outfit pop! What? You didn’t think it could be that simple? Check out these brides who did exactly that and totally slayed their weddings!

Keeping it subtle

While her cascading mogra braid caught all the attention, we are loving the subtle contrasting dupatta in a blush pink while her outfit is a stunning nude shade. Such a small swap but adds so much to the overall look!

Taking the saree route!
