Go simple or ornate
There are so many mehndhi designs to choose from. Pick one that fits with your overall aesthetic. And remember balance–if your jewelry or outfit are very ornate you might want to tone down the mehndhi.
Do more than just your hands
Although hands and arms are a very popular place to apply mehndhi, you can have so much fun by applying some on your feet, upper arm, stomach, etc.
Do get his initials etched in the design
In some areas of India, there is a tradition to get your husband’s initials placed in the design and after the wedding he has to find his initials. It’s a really fun game to play!
Wear something dark
Mehndhi can be messy so make sure you wear a dark colored outfit. Greens are especially nice for Mehndhi parties.
Get pampered
Since your hands and feet are “tied” up, have the rest of your family and even your groom pamper you and feed you food!
I have included a few mehndhi pics below, and will be posting additional designs soon!
