The practical guide to

Mehndi

Mehndi décor works best when the bride has one comfortable focal seat, hand space for the artist and a layered background that reads clearly in close-up photos.

Rani pink, cherry, olive and warm ivory

The day-of order

Set up once.
Correct before guests.

  1. 01

    Position the bride's seat and artist's table first.

  2. 02

    Hang the base cloth at least 12 inches wider than the seat.

  3. 03

    Add floral strings at varied heights for depth.

  4. 04

    Place cushions and the utility tray within easy reach.

  5. 05

    Test one seated photo from the photographer's angle.

Ask these at the venue walkthrough

Four questions that prevent last-minute surprises.

Which hand will the artist work on first?

Is there a nearby outlet for the artist's task lamp?

Will guests queue for their own mehndi?

Does the palette work with the bride's outfit?
