Children are a huge part of a wedding, with their cute antics adding a flavour to these special days. However, keeping them occupied during the long ceremonies is a task by itself. One way to do so is to get them to sit down for their own hennaed hands. For this, we recommend the latest mehndi patterns in the market - a set of Butterfly mehndi designs.
Mehndi designs are the perfect way to engage children and let them be creative. They can have a butterfly design anywhere on their body and then compare designs and marvel at them for hours, letting the adults have their fun too! Children can get a full mehndi design or a small butterfly tattoo, depending on their age. Every child will love their designs and also let their mothers get mehndi on their hands in peace!
However, do make sure you ask your mehndi artist beforehand if she knows how to make a butterfly mehndi design as they are relatively new and not everyone can master them.
Here are some butterfly mehndi design ideas to increase the fun quotient at your wedding for kids and even adults.
