Regal Looks: 4 Ways to Double Wrap a Bridal Dupatta as a Hijabi
By Hijabi Bridal Team ·
Two dupattas and a head cover?? Hijabi Bridal... are you serious? Yes! One of the best ways to look absolutely regal on your wedding day is to use a second bridal dupatta. In this article, we'll show you four easy wedding dupatta draping styles -- just for the hijabi bride.
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.
One extra wedding dupatta style is to accordion the decorative end of one dupatta over your shoulder, sewing the other end to your wrist on the opposite side. Add a bridal belt over the dupatta on your waist for an extra special touch.
Another is to drape a heavy nikkah dupatta, in a contrasting or matching color, over your shoulder and the front of the dress for a beautiful extra dupatta look.
In short, your second dupatta can cover as much as you like and is a wonderful, modest way to hide your curves. Better yet, the double wedding dupatta is strictly for brides, so you don't have to worry about your guests looking too regal. Enjoy your day!
Double Dupatta Styling: Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the best double dupatta hijab style for a regal look?
A. To achieve a regal double dupatta hijab style, we recommend using two layers on the head. First is the hijab and the dupatta is pinned close to the hairline to show off the embroidery. This same dupatta can be draped with your hijab around the front. You can accordion a second heavy dupatta over the shoulder for a queenly silhouette.
Q. How do you achieve a seamless bridal dupatta setting with hijab?
A. Another, more professional look for your bridal dupatta setting with hijab, starts with pinning your hijab tightly toward the back. Apply your hairline jewelry at the very edge of the hijab, then place your transparent dupatta immediately behind it. This allows the dupatta to flow like a cape while your neck is elegantly covered by a statement necklace.
Q. What are the benefits of Muslim bride dupatta draping with two scarves?
A. The primary benefit of Muslim bride dupatta draping with a second scarf is the added modesty and grandeur it provides. A second dupatta is an excellent way to cover the chest and torso elegantly, ensuring you look like a bride while remaining completely comfortable and modest.
Q. Can you use a contrasting color for a double dupatta look?
A. Absolutely! Using a contrasting color for your second bridal dupatta adds a modern touch to a traditional ensemble. Pairing a red nikkah dupatta with a silver or champagne base dress, for example, highlights the intricate embroidery and makes your bridal look truly unforgettable.
