Have you even gotten married if you haven’t got mehendi applied? The mehendi ceremony is part of the many rituals the bride and her tribe undergoes to beautify themselves before the big day. Mehendi's cooling properties and vibrant stain make it a functional and fashionable part of a bride's look (and sometimes for the groom too!).

Whether you want a completely traditional Rajasthani design, an elegant Arabic henna tattoo, or something basic just because you like the look of mehendi designs, feel free to browse this list and book a bridal mehendi artist.
