#1. Get a second opinion

#3. Accessories to the rescue

Right accessories can add glamour, style and grace to your otherwise dull look. If you feel your lehenga is a little light in terms of colour or embellishments, accessorise it with bold and beautiful intricate jewellery pieces.

For example, if your choli looks somewhat plain, then wear a kamarband to spice up your look. Just make sure you balance your entire look by wearing stunning jewellery pieces from head to toe.

Another thing you can do is to change the drape of your outfit. If you are going to wear a saree, get help from your stylist or get on on YouTube for hundreds of ways to learn to drape a saree. For a lehenga, play around with different draping styles of dupatta and chose the one that suits you the best. Maybe, you did not wear it the right way while trying it on your own at home.

#5. Get the right makeup

Bridal makeup can make or break your wedding day look. If your makeup is rightly done, the attention would automatically be shifted to your pretty face than your outfit. So, if your outfit is just too bright and overdone than what you are wishing it to be now, simply go for nude makeup.

And, if it is the other way round, then go for a little bold makeup by opting for hot lipstick shades or loud eye colours. In other words, just get the right look to blend your dress and makeup to look your gorgeous best.
