Most of us would let our shaadi ka joda sit in our closets for eternity, because it’s too precious and sacred to be morphed into anything else. But then, there are some of us who’d pick pieces that could be easily turned into wearable items once the D-day has rolled by. Even better, we’d do anything to experiment and turn as many heads as we did on the day we were wedded by tailoring our shaadi ka joda to become a fashionable AF and stylish ensemble that is as riveting as it is versatile.

Wonder how you can achieve this? Here are 10 stylish ways to recycle your shaadi ka joda and still have it retain its magic:
