Regardless of whether you are wearing a sari or lehenga for the indian ceremony, you will likely wear a dupatta over your head. Sometimes an extra dupatta will come with your outfit, esp with lehengas. But if not, then you will need to get a ready-made or custom dupatta. For custom dupattas here are a few things to decide on…
Size
Small (L-64 inch,W-42inch) Great size for just draping over your head.
Large (L-74-80in and W-42in) A longer style that is great for draping over your outfit and over your head. Also depending on the color, it can create a nice contrast to your outfit
Color/Design
Choose the base. A great base is fine gold net, however you could have it dyed to any color.
Choose your embroidery. Look at your sari or lehenga and pick one piece of embroidery to replicate, whether it’s a border or inner embroidery. Remember not to make the embroidery too heavy or you will have trouble keeping it on your head.
Another tip: make sure to take your dupatta with you to your hairstylist. They can recommend hairstyles that will be compatible with how you want to wear the dupatta.
When I was getting my custom dupatta made I went to Chandana at Carmaa Boutique in Houston, TX. They did a wonderful job!
