How to Wear Hijab with a Bridal Dupatta
As a hijabi bride, the best way to cover your hair is to disguise your hijab so it isn’t apparent. To do this, pin your hijab tightly to the rear of your head. Then apply the bridal jewelry that is meant for the hairline right at the edge of your hijab. The set above has just what you need. Then right behind the jewelry, place the transparent bridal dupatta that came with your wedding outfit. Wear it to the back.
Ideally your hijab will be cut in a circular fashion right at the shoulders so that the wedding dupatta blends well with it and hangs properly down your back. It’s going to be long, sort of like a cape, so make sure the ends of your dupatta hang evenly. Use the large necklace from the same set above to cover your neck and upper chest.
Then add another bridal dupatta that's contrasting in color or matching. See Hijabi Bridal's full wedding dupatta collection here.
How to Get a Double Dupatta Look
Now that you have your “main look” as a hijabi bride, i.e., your hair and neck are covered, you can play with the extra bridal dupatta style:
1. You can accordion a heavy transparent dupatta that has a wide border as a double drape. You can get this look with a lehenga dupatta similar to this one:
