Minimal mehendi

Less is always more, and when it comes to decking your hands to match the outfit of the day, we suggest go for something minimal to make a statement. It will not only complement the attire of the day, but also make your hands the talk of the room.

Floral mehendi

Any festival is incomplete without henna on your hands, and floral patterns are our favourite go-to look. They are minimal in design, festive in spirit and add to the look of the day. Be it a statement floral design or something minimal, floral mehendi design can never go wrong.

Red dye mehendi

In case you want to ditch the traditional henna, we suggest going for alta – the red dye used in painting hands and feet. Usually, traditionally used in Bengali culture, the red due can give an authentic look to your hands and feet on the special day.
