Don’t you love that smell of freshly ground Mehendi on your hands? We sure do! And no Indian wedding is complete without it. Mehendi on a bride’s wedding day is of prime importance and these works of art that adorn her hands, arms and feet truly make her stand apart from the rest of the crowd. It is beautiful how a simple dye can totally change how one looks! Mehendi comes in so many different styles- ranging from the simple 5 dot traditional style to more intricate ones and of course the famous Arabic style and now, even geometric and Moroccan styles. Some brides like it just up to their palms and some go all the way up to the elbow and even further! We see a lot of our brides even flaunting minimalist designs and some with the entire design surrounding their initials or even now, famously so, their wedding hashtags! Here are a few of our favourite mehendi designs we spotted on our brides!
Rani portraits on our palms? Yes please!
