Recycle Your Wedding Accessories: How To Wear Bling Post Shaadi Season

Now that wedding season is officially coming to an end, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. With your weekends freeing up now after all those fun but exhaustive nights at cocktails and Sangeets spent dancing the night away in outfits weighing half your body weight and innumerable pins digging into your scalp – that’s over. You can now wrap up those heavy clothes and put them away till Diwali. 

 Your glittery accessories however are another story! Don’t let the dust settle on those sparkly shoes and dazzling danglers just yet- we tell you how to recycle all your wedding bling to reuse again and again to shine at formal events as well as fun nights out. Make the best use of those fashionable investments. There’s nothing that good styling and innovative ideas cannot save – even all that shaadi finery.

Sequinned Clutch

A shiny minaudière is the most stylish way to hold all your essentials at a big wedding as well as at any small dinner or a fancy soiree. Pair it with jeans or a bodycon and wrap your digits around some serious style.

Dazzling Danglers

These statement earrings that you probably wore at your sister’s mehendi are just what you need to dress up an LBD or a pink skater dress for some show-stopping drama.

Bright Potli

We’re all for taking fashion risks and adding an element of surprise to an ensemble and a colourful potli is just the thing for that. Add a trendsetting twist to a simple jeans-and-tee outfit or a pretty maxi dress with a funky potli for a fun vibe.

Haathphool

A pretty haathphool is a seriously kitschy accessory to own. You’ve probably noticed so many celebrities from Katy Perry to Chitrangada Singh wearing them with dresses for a cool desi touch. We think it’s a great idea for an unconventional fashion statement.

Sparkly Stilettos

You don’t need to wait till new years to bring out those shimmery shoes. Wear them on your next girl’s night out and have fun being the centre of attention.

Kundan Necklaces

These diamond stunners are what started the red carpet rage of blending the traditional with the Western. Take a note out of a celeb style diary and accessorize a simple shirt, party dress or formal gown with an uncut necklace you splurged on for a truly striking style.

Cool Kamarbandhs

Hip, young designer Nikhil Thampi has taught us that if you like it, you should put a kamarbandh on it! Instead of a skinny belt, add an attention-grabbing kamarbandh to a top or a dress to cinch your waist and notch up your trend quotient.

eS Pick: Adhira red and green stone kamarband
