What is Bridal Mehendi?

Bridal mehendi is the elaborate henna applied to a bride before her wedding, usually covering both hands to the elbow and both feet, and often including personal elements such as portraits or the groom's hidden name.

Bridal Mehendi explained

Bridal sessions typically take three to six hours and are applied one or two days before the wedding so the stain peaks on the day.

Bridal pricing is usually quoted as a package rather than per hand, and may include feet, organic paste and travel.
