Choosing The Perfect Mehendi Outfit

The first brick of any look is deciding the outfit. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your perfect mehendi outfit. Firstly, you should feel comfortable in any garment you choose. If your style is more modest, an outfit with a plunging neckline or high slit will do the opposite of comfort for you. Next, all looks must be weather-appropriate. A summer wedding requires light and breezy fabrics, whereas a winter wedding requires heavier textiles. So, when shopping for your mehendi function outfit, keep the season and location in mind. Additionally, your outfit must be theme-appropriate. As the bride or the guest, you must respect the planning that has gone into the wedding. So, try your level best to dress according to the theme. Now that we have dealt with the basics, let us look at some trending outfits that you can wear to a mehendi event.

The Perfect Green Mehendi Outfit

Green and the mehendi ceremony seem to be synonymous now. So, our number one recommendation? Opt for a green outfit or one with green accents. This will tie into the event without much hassle. For winter weddings, opt for garments with a silk or velvet base. Ensure that your outfit is not too heavy or fussy. The last thing you want is the burden of constantly fixing your clothes with henna-clad hands. No one wants those stains!

The Hassle-Free Sharara

Suits and shararas are the ideal comfortable outfits for any mehendi ceremony. They are low-key enough to provide comfort to the bride and the guests. However, if you choose an outfit with the perfect amount of embellishment, it is festive enough. For the brides, in particular, shararas leave you free from the constant awareness of your clothes. A kurta and pants are all they are. Moreover, a sharara suit requires little accessorizing. This is key as your hands and feet will need to be jewellery-free for the mehendi process. So, do keep this outfit on the list of potential looks to try out. 

A Colourful Lehenga Mehendi Outfit

Take inspiration from the celebs and go all out with your mehendi look. A bright and colourful lehenga or crop top and skirt set is perfect for a summer wedding. This look is ideal if you want a minimal mehendi design only on your hands. Moreover, a lehenga leaves you free to dance and mingle with the guests if you have gotten the mehendi applied the night before.

Enhancing Your Mehendi Look With Accessories

We all know that accessories are what can make or break any look. When it comes to mehendi accessories, there is little room for error. However, one must remember that the room for accessorising is very little for the mehendi ceremony. After all, your hands and feet will be full of henna. So that leaves your neck, ears and hair. This is prime real estate and must be used with care. 

Mehendi Accessories For The Hair

Florals, beads, pearls and gemstones: the sky is the limit with hair accessories for the mehendi ceremony. We recommend you play around with the hairstyles a little for this event. Try experimental buns, fun braids and half-up half-down styles. All of this leaves plenty of room to accessorise your hair with different kinds of pins and flowers. We love a gemstone, pearl and flower design to add freshness to your mehendi outfit. But don’t forget about the good old maang tikkas, matha patti and sheesh patti. You will easily find toned-down designs perfect for a mehendi ceremony. So, try out a few options before settling on one.

Mehendi Accessories For The Ears

The presence of earrings for the mehendi ceremony is a must. Your overall mehendi outfit has practically zero hand accessories. So, other parts must compensate for that, including the ears. Now, the only decision remains about the kind of earrings you opt for. If you choose to go for a bun, then big earrings are the way to go. Similarly, if your hair accessories are minimal, then bigger heavier earrings compensate for that. One tip: studs are a no-no. They only add weight to your ears without impact, making the outfit look empty. 

Other Accessories For Your Mehendi Outfit

Now, we know that brides often get their mehendi done a day before the official mehendi ceremony. This leaves them open to more accessorising, leaving room for a cohesive look. If your hands are free of henna, bracelets, bangles and rings are your best friends for accessorising. With the mehndi on your hands, simple bangles and rings can also have a huge impact. 

Bridal Mehendi Designs

In 2024, trending bridal mehendi designs range from extravagant to minimal. So, here are our favourites. 

Peacock Mehendi Design

Going with the good old classic peacock mehendi design, the art is foolproof. A traditional mehendi design like this is perfect for a bride who prefers going all out. The extravagance of this design is ideal for the typical Sabyasachi bride donned in red and draped in jewels. But, even if you have a minimal outfit, this mehendi style works. It is one of the few mehendi arts that works with all outfits and all events. 

Minimal Bridal Mehendi Design

Want to get the mehendi design on your hands only for the auspicious meaning to it? Minimal mehendi designs are perfect for you. These designs utilize a few simple lines and dots to create beautiful yet simple art to complement the event. It is perfect for the minimal brides who do not care about the frills of multiple ceremonies.
