    …Mehndi, also known as henna, is used to adorn brides prior to the ceremony in South Asia,  Middle East, and North African countries. I have seen Mehndi in many lovely and intricate designs but never have I seen it in white as it is on this brides arm. What an equally elegant alternative to the deep reddish brown colors often used. Beautiful! What do you think?

      I’ve always loved henna and the detailing on the arm is quite beautiful.

      I’ve never seen body art like that before ~ what a lovely idea. It’ll probably wash off much quicker than henna does.

      WOW – I love it. The reddish brown is always amazing and so intricate – but the white is absolutely gorgeous especially with the white gown. Just perfect for the wedding day.

      With lace being so popular now…this really captures the beauty of lace and is a personal touch as well.  I have always loved henna designs!  This is a great new flair for bridal trends!  Another great way to say who you are!

      That’s very pretty body paint but it isn’t mehndi. Mehndi involves applying henna.
