Diagonal Draping
If you want to enjoy your wedding festivities to the core with loads of fun and dancing this casual dupatta draping style is all you need. You can fold one corner of your dupatta at the back, create pleats on the side and then drape it diagonally over your shoulder. While it covers your body and adds the charm of a dupatta it also allows you to be free with your hands and do whatever you want.
Side Draping
One of the simplest and easiest dupatta draping styles is to hang it vertically over one shoulder. For the smaller wedding festivities, this can be an ideal choice. While you can opt to pleat your dupatta and pin it on your shoulder, you can also choose to flare it in the front to create an added layer.
Cape Draping
A lot of modern brides these days have hopped on to a new dupatta draping style, where they style their dupatta as a cape to be fuss-free during their wedding festivities. Not only with sharara sets this draping style looks great on lehengas as well. While it still adds that layered coverage to the outfit, it also straightens the silhouette with its vertical drop. Remember Amir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan’s wedding, she wore her dupatta as a cape over her lehenga.

One is draped around their body and the other is draped over their head with a long trail following at the back. Inspired by the royal queens of the country, this dupatta draping style should be your choice if you want to look like a Maharani on your wedding day.
Gujarati Draping
One of the most common sightings during the Ambani wedding was the Gujarati dupatta draping style over lehengas. By tucking one part of the dupatta at the back, this style involves draping the short end of the dupatta over one shoulder and flaring at the front.
Saree Draping
A simple yet stylish dupatta draping style is to wear it with a falling pallu to give it that saree look. Radhika Merchant opted for this draping style during one of her wedding festivities with Anant Ambani and looked ethereal. If handling an open pallu will be stressful for you, you can also opt for a well-pinned pleated pallu.
Elbow Draping
To add a layer on the back and give the blouse and lehenga a central focus, many brides choose to wrap their dupatta around the inside of their elbows and let it hang in the front. While it is an elegant draping style your hand will continuously need to be held at the front. So choose this one for a formal event like a wedding reception for sure.
