Mehendi is one of those bridal staples that has the power to make all the difference. Whether a bride wishes to have henna on her hands or feet, the patterns and motifs chosen during the process become part of the bridal look. the feet are no less special While hands appear to be the favourite for mehendi. From traditional Indian designs and paisleys to Arabic flowers and simple vines, there is something for everybody. Here are some ideas to consider.


For a bride who wants her mehendi to narrate a story, there is nothing better than a Rajasthani bridal mehendi design. This style requires highly intricate patterns that depict a miniature of a bridal pair, peacocks, elephants, temples, paisleys, and dense floral patterns. The beauty of this design lies in its artistic rendition and the fact that it looks like a fine piece of art painted on the skin. Not all brides want their hands or feet fully decorated. A mandala design provides a focal point without being overwhelming. The central part of the hand can be decorated with a circular floral or geometric design, leaving the fingers minimally detailed. The same can be done on the feet with a central mandala and delicate patterns of flowers, leaves, or an anklet-style border around it. For those who love minimalism, a floral vine is the perfect choice. A trailing vine of leaves and flowers can be drawn from the fingers or around the side of the hand to the wrist, and on the feet, it can curl from the toes to the ankle, taking the look of fine jewellery. The space in this design is what makes it special, as it lets you show off your natural beauty.
