You can even take your saree style quotient a notch above by draping it over your sharara pants. Rock your newage saree for wedding reception in this super chic draping style.

And it is better than putting a big part of your shopping budget on a lehenga which seems to have a lesser possibility to be worn again.
5. Jacket with Sari
Have a winter wedding to attend? Put on your fancy jacket over your saree. A well-cut blazer or a cropped denim jacket will work wonders.

7. Add a Dupatta
If you remember Deepika Padukone in her reception, how she took a matching dupatta and set it as a veil on her head to add an extra dose of drama to her saree look. You need not make it as heavy as hers, but a light dupatta that goes well with your saree. This double pallu look adds some quirkiness to a regular saree drape.
