Types of Mehndi Designs in Trend

Ghaziabad lies in the Delhi/NCR region which is filled with mehndi artists who specialise in not just the traditional designs but also various latest design trends such as Caricatures, story, modern, personalised, Arabic and Indian etc. Hence it is not very difficult to find the exact design you’re looking for and the designs which are currently trending in the market. Here are a few of the designs that are popular with brides:

Arabic Mehndi Designs: This is one of the most common mehendi designs and easy to carry too. The design features elliptical shaped designs and a lot of shading. You can also get quotes written in Arabic which only adds to its beauty if you are a Muslim bride. It is inspired by the Mughlai designs and has its origin in the Arab world.
Indian Mehndi Designs: Nothing can beat undeniable beauty and charm of the traditional Indian mehndi designs. Indian mehendi designs consist of detailed illustrations and feature beautiful motifs inspired by the elements of nature like leaves or floral designs. The names of the bride and groom are also written on each other’s hand as a symbol of togetherness.
Indo-Arabic Mehendi Designs: This is a modern and interesting fusion of the two amazing designs to bring forth one interesting mehndi! It features Indian designs like floral designs, birds etc with Arabic style of shading. This kind of design has a lot of appeal among the modern day brides since it is the best of both worlds.
Moroccan Mehndi Designs: Moroccan designs are extremely unique and beautiful and are not very detailed. In fact they are the opposite of the Indian designs and still manage to look amazing with their tribal designs, shapes and patterns. The diamond shape is particularly used a lot in these designs.
Minimalist mehendi design: These kind of designs are very subtle and artistic and are made for the minimalistic brides who do not like a lot of henna. They will be very minimalist striking in nature hence make an impact anyhow.
Story Mehendi- A new Mehndi trend is emerging wherein the love story of the bride and groom is incorporated into the mehndi. Most of the famous and experienced mehendi artists in Ghaziabad may be able to execute this for you in case you want it. It is a very romantic way of expressing your love to your guy. We have spotted things like the Eiffel tower, guitar, burger, fries, etc. on the bride's hands. How quirky yet romantic.
Caricature mehndi- This is a very intricate form of mehendi which consists of the portraits of the groom and bride on the hands of the bride. It is a rather intricate and difficult type of Mehndi so get it done only by an experienced mehendi artist.

Should you book the same Mehndi artist for the bridal party as the bride?

If your bridal mehndi artist works individually then we do not recommend booking the same mehndi artist for both you and your family if you are a bride. It will only lead to hassles and chaos if you book the same artist for the bridal party as well as the bride. Bridal mehndi needs to look perfect and this takes time hence you do not want to rush up her work or make her feel pressured to finish and move on to others. Get a separate team for the bridal party.
While we do not recommend getting the same mehendi artist, there are lots of mehndi artists in Ghaziabad who have a team which consists of the main person who does the bridals and his assistants apply henna to the rest of the family. In such a case you may go for the same mehendi artist for the bride and bridal party. Most of the bridal mehndi artist give a few complimentary hands in case of bulk bookings. These are usually for the mother and sister of the bride and consist of elaborate designs.
The guest’s mehendi is usually very simple hence it can easily be executed by assistants or a relatively new artist in the market.

Dos and Don’ts before applying mehendi

In order to make sure your mehndi turns out as beautiful and dark after removing it, we have compiled a list of dos and don’ts when applying henna-

Dos

Research on pinterest for the types of latest designs and get to know what kind of mehendi design will suit your personality. Even if you know nothing about mehndi designs still you will be able to find out what you like. Save the design to show it to your artist.
Get your mehndi done before the actual mehndi or sangeet function so you are free to enjoy, dance and greet the guests at the function.
Make sure your mehndi artist is using pure henna paste and is freshly ground and not using chemical mehndi.
Get your manicure and pedicure done before the mehndi day as dipping your feet in water will lighten the henna.
Rub the good old nimbbu-cheeni(Sugar and lemon) on the mehndi once it dries and use Vicks or laung (cloves) smoke once you remove the henna to deepen the colour.
Try to get you mehendi done at least two days before the wedding as it takes 48 hours for the mehndi colour to deepen.

Donts

Do not use a blow dryer to dry your mehndi- let it dry naturally for a dark color.
Dress well for the mehndi. Do not leave your hair open. You do not want to be bothered with hair on your face while getting mehndi done hence make a bun or a braid.
Do not have too much water or beverages before getting henna done or you will have the urge to pee in between which will be very difficult.
Sit in a comfortable space with multiple pillows stacked under your arms as you have to sit like this for 4 to 5 hours.
Do not apply oil or moisturiser to your palms or hands before getting henna done as it will reduce the absorption of colour into the skin.
