short mehndi design

Mehndi is a huge part of Indian weddings, with the bride, her friends, and her family having intricate designs applied to their arms. Though the bride must wear the most henna, guests and family are generally expected to have a short mehndi design applied during the mehndi ceremony. Of course, it’s not mandatory, but most women in India view mehndi as an accessory that enhances the traditional look. In India, the populace considers that the darker the colour of the mehndi leaves on the hands of a bride, the more she will be loved by her husband and mother-in-law. However, the significance of applying Indian mehndi designs during weddings is not restricted just to sentiments and beliefs- it has scientific connotations, too. Though majorly now, it is a fashion with myriad henna designs.  However, at present, short mehndi designs are slaying and how!
