#Trending: Floral Jaal!

We happened to feature a wedding in Delhi a few months back and this little trend first showed it's face there. A nice floral woven dupatta on the bride that took the place of traditional floral jewellery. And the moment it went up on Insta, it went viral, we got shout outs, comments and hundreds of likes!

What's this floral dupatta all about? A class act, the dupatta was entirely made out of flowers, basically mallipoo or jasmine buds. A border was made with other flowers but this one had so much sass. It's easy to ask your florist to make and it sure does make your pictures look amazing.

Is it easily available? Well, not really. It's on special order. We've seen that there are some customised places online that do take orders for this: Check Pellipoolajada★ 4.2 or Mallipoo. A picture a reference and they'll do it for you.

What's it made of? Jasmine buds actually. They have the beautiful ability to knit themselves like a sheet and are not so heavy unlike other flowers so it's a great bet. Plus, it's Indian in every way and so so full of old-school charm.

What other ways can I use the floral dupatta? Telugu weddings have a purdah separating the bride and groom during the rituals so it can be used as a separator. You can also use it in your hair - as a bun or as a South-Indian hair braid. You can also use it as a phoolon ka chaddar or as a drape or a backdrop. So many endless possibilities!
