Indian weddings can go on for days with all of the various ceremonies and parties, one of which, of course is the mehndi. This is the one where the bride has her girlfriends around (although it is becoming more common for some of the men to be there as well) and when she has her hands, arms, and feet covered in designs created by an artist using henna. One of the games which is often played is that the artist will include the name of the groom within the design, and everyone has to find out where it is.
The mehndi party is just before the wedding ceremony itself, and the reason for this is that tradition says that the deeper the colour of the mehndi on the bride, the stronger the marriage will be. The mehndi party is usually in an evening, and the bride will sit on the mehndi stage while the decoration is applied, which can take up to six hours, depending upon the intricacy of the pattern and the skill of the artist.
We Can Create Your Mehndi Decor
The room that is used may be at the bride’s parents’ home, or it may be an outside venue. Either way, you will need mehndi decor which we can design and create for you at Kenza Creations. There is, of course, the mehndi stage itself, but the rest of the venue can be decorated in any way that you wish. Not only is the mehndi a part of the wedding ceremonies, but it is also a party with lots of food, singing, and dancing which the guests can all enjoy while the henna is applied to the bride.
Then, of course, there is the wedding ceremony itself, and you will want wedding venue decorations which make your guests go “Wow!”
We supply the décor for many wedding venues throughout London as well as others up and down the country. Having been in the business for so many years, we are familiar with many of the venues, and this means that we have plenty of ideas that we can suggest in a lot of cases, because we know what works.
But, of course, you can have your own input, and we can incorporate pretty much anything that you wish, even if we don’t know the venue. We would obviously need to visit it in these circumstances, in order to check on the lighting and the space. Our aim is always to make your big day the most stunning and memorable that it can be.
