The Bride’s family either calls a Mehndi/Henna Artist to come to their home or a family relative to create designs for the Bride and her guests. While traditionally Indian Vedic Mehndi designs were applied to the Bride, nowadays Brides call inspiration from Indo-Arabic and Arabic designs to adorn their hands and feet. You may find that certain artists include animals, nature elements, Hindu Gods, or even the Bride and Groom represented with names or figures. After applying the Mehndi, the Bride must wait for the Henna to stain her hands and feet to create lasting designs. It is commonly believed among Indian tradition that the darker the color of the Bride’s Mehndi, the more her husband will love her. Check out these Mehndi artists that we absolutely love working with!
