A Colorful Mehendi Ceremony
“I had a colorful and very intimate mehndi function at Four Points by Sheraton. Since it was a low-key event, it was only attended by immediate family members who made the occasion even more special by showering me with blessings.
I was really excited to wear a colorful lehenga for my Mehendi function which was designed by Mohini Chabria (@mohinichabria) and it also matched the theme of the décor that my best friend Sneha Karamchandani has planned for the function. The entire décor was done by her, I just told her that I want something different and
simple & I knew I would get the best as she is someone who is very creative.”

“To speak about the décor, I was looking for something different, simple, and which was somewhat like a DIY. At the entrance, we kept a cycle that was wrapped with genda phool flowers and had a couple of pinwheels. At the back seat of the cycle, we had kept a tray filled with bindi where each guest could pick and choose the bindi they liked. The backdrop had multi-colored tassels along with parrots which were made from paper and a board which said “Dulhaniya”.
Each table had a recycled bottled which was painted in different colors and had two pinwheels along with a parrot. We had a couple of mini shamiyanas which were used for the guests to apply Mehendi. Each shamiyana had yellow and green drapes with some genda phool along with a kite-shaped hanging. We also called for a guy who would do live making of bangles for each guest while the function was on.”
“Mehendi: Neha Gandhi (@nehamehendiii) – Neha is one of the best Mehendi artists I have come across. I did not have to think twice before even booking her for my big day. She is a very humble and sweet young girl who is very passionate about her work. I am someone who is very picky when it comes to Mehendi, as I love proper Indian style designs which means the designs needs to be clean and intricate. She just knew what I wanted and my Mehendi turned out to be more than what I expected.
The idea behind my Mehendi design was to design the bride and groom outfits on it and that is exactly what she did. If you have a look at my outfit and my Mehendi design the kallies of my lehenga has been designed as my Mehendi as well. The same goes with the groom’s outfit. I also wanted writing which said Mr.Right and Mrs. Always Right.”
