Punjabi Mehendi Designs: Style Guide & Booking

Where punjabi mehendi comes from

The Punjabi mehendi function is famous for its dholki songs, boliyan and dancing while the bride gets her henna. Designs are made to sit alongside the red chooda bangles and kalire, so wrist borders are carefully planned.

How to recognise punjabi mehendi

• Elbow-length coverage
• Wrist borders planned around the chooda
• Peacocks, florals and doli scenes
• Strong, dark finish

Tips before you book

1. Tell the artist when the chooda ceremony is so the wrist design is not hidden or smudged.
2. Book group artists for the dholki so guests get mehendi at the same time.
3. Elbow-length designs need extra drying time - sit comfortably.
