The mehendi ceremony marks the beginning of the wedding functions.
This is the time when the hands and feet of the bride are decorated with
beautiful henna designs. It is one of the most rejoiced pre-wedding
celebrations as it involves dancing, music and a lot of entertainment.
Dressing up correctly for this special occasion is very important for
the bride as she would be the centre of attraction throughout the
function. Begin by keeping your theme in mind when thinking about your
outfit. Usually mehendi functions are very lively with bright décor
hence your outfit must be such that it stands out but is yet subtle and
brings out the best in you. The most preferred colours are orange,
yellow, hot pink and green. Red is usually avoided as most traditional
wedding lehengas are red or deep maroon.
A simple and elegant ghagra with light gotta, mirror or dapka
embroidery is recommended. Another option would be pairing a rather
plain ghagra choli with a heavily embroidered dupatta. One thing which
is very important while choosing the outfit is that, it must be
comfortable as you will have to sit in one position at a stretch for a
minimum of three to four hours. Also a ghagra choli, especially a mid
length one, is a better option as compared to salwar kameez as it would
be easier to apply henna on the feet.
Most brides adorn fresh flowers instead of jewellery for the ceremony. Floral rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and floral hairdos make the bride-to-be look fresh and vibrant
