For weddings sky really is the limit, wear a choker with rani haar huge earrings and maybe even a jhoomar and lots of bangles. But make sure your plain saree is paired with a plain blouse so the jewellery layering looks balanced and elegant.

Plain sarees are your safest bet to add a belt, you can try different belts like leather belt, metallic belt or ethnic embroidered or mirror work belts. These belts give definition to your waist and also look very stylish.
    • Go ethnic with brocade: If you want a very traditional saree look which also light and breezy, plain saree with brocade blouse is the best combination. Brocades have a rich texture and regal feel which an be balanced out well by simpleness of a plain saree.
    • Knot the pallu:  Grab all attention at any event with a plain saree by simply knotting your pallu on the shoulder. The knotted pallu looks striking and contemporary so keep your styling fresh and young. You can pair your plain saree with plain or printed blouse for this kind of styling but I personally feel plain blouse looks more impactful.

    • Add a brooch: You dont always need to pair plain saree with designer blouse for stunning outfit. Simple add ons like brooches can do the trick. Sari pins to hold the pallu at the shoulder are pretty common but for more allure replace your sari pin with a blingy brooch. Brooches with plain saris look effortlessly stylish and glam.
