5 saree draping styles to know this wedding season

1. Classic Nivi drape

Clean pleats and a neat pallu. Works with almost every fabric and is the safest choice for long ceremonies.

2. Gujarati seedha pallu

The pallu comes to the front to show off heavy borders and embroidery.

The best saree drape is one that complements the fabric, occasion and comfort of the person wearing it.

3. Bengali-inspired drape

A distinctive silhouette with broad pleats. Works well when you want a more traditional statement.

4. Contemporary open-pallu style

A lighter, modern look that keeps the details of the saree visible.

5. Pre-pleated or structured drape

For busy wedding days, a pre-pleated drape makes getting ready faster and keeps the look neat all day.
