Know Hows of Wearing Double Dupatta for Bridal Lehenga
1. Weight Matters
The lighter dupatta should be set on your head as a veil because that’s the weight you would be carrying on your head for prolonged hours throughout your wedding. If you have a reception following, it is advised to remove the head dupatta to feel light and be able to enjoy the reception ceremony.
