Mehandi designs have become very prominent in Western society as well and have become a really popular decoration choice for bachelorette parties.

Mehndi Designs and what is considered trendy today can vary depending on the occasion or region.

The henna paste gives your hands and feet a beautiful reddish color. It’s very easy to draw designs on your body using mehendi paste that has turned into a dark brownish color after it’s been applied for 1-2 hours and left overnight.

Mehndi looks beautiful on hands and is a process that can be done without any mess. It’s one of the most auspicious moments in a woman’s wedding when the bride sees her future in-laws and sisters-in-law applying henna on her hands and feet. She gets to know their future plans for her! Are they going to send her to a foreign country for studies? Or straight to an in-law’s home? And this is not just limited to the family.

Friends, colleagues, neighbors, everyone around wants to know what colors are chosen for which person. At times, it even becomes the topic of discussion on social media when pictures of the bride with different colored henna.

Bridal henna designs are much more intricate than other types of mehandi given the importance of the occasion. Needless to say, you’re in a festive mood on your wedding day and these designs must do justice to it. Most western brides go for abstract henna designs that give them a classy look.

Mehndi, or henna as it is otherwise called is an age-old tradition practiced by people of diverse ethnicities. The art of applying henna on the hands and feet, and sometimes on other parts of the body has been prevalent since time immemorial. The art originated in different parts of South Asia where it spread like wildfire.

Henna has also made waves in popular culture around the world.  It’s no wonder that mehandi designs have become a mainstream fashion statement as well, with people from all over the world getting henna tattoos based on cool mehendi designs.  Cheaper and safer than a tattoo, many people enjoy the experience of having their skin get decorated with henna.
