Let’s get real: The bride is the heroine of the big day, but you can’t forget the supporting stars. The bridesmaids surely take the top spot here. From helping her curate a dream bridal trousseau to making the bride feel most relaxed in case of cold feet, the role of the bride tribe, including the maid of honour and the rest of the bridesmaids, is most important to ensure the bride has the happiest day of her life without a hitch. Given that the bride tribe is also going to be part of every ritual and possibly photograph, they need to dress the part too. Sure, the outfit and jewellery make the look. But at Khush Wedding, we believe it’s the little details that count. The mehndi design of the bridesmaids included.

Much like the bride’s mehndi, the bride tribe’s henna must stand out too. We sourced the Instagram gallery of one of the UK’s most renowned mehndi artists, Gurpreet Bhumber of Apni Mehndi. Originally known as Mehndi By Gurps, Gurpreet’s versatility lies in bridal mehndi but the artist also customises gorgeous artwork for bridesmaids. Whether you want traditional mehndi for your girls or something with an unexpected twist, check our edit of designs for ideas and inspiration.The Best Traditional Henna Patterns
Traditional mehndi for the bride tribe? There’s no going wrong with that. Classic Indian henna usually entails intricate henna work. You can expect flora and fauna patterns such as paisleys, peacocks and elephants as well as geometric designs like jaal motifs, swirls, dotted lines, concentric circles and criss-cross patterns among much more. Gurpreet leaves no stone unturned in bringing a traditional Indian flair to the look. But she doesn’t hesitate from adding her signature touch with personalised details from the wedding hashtag to common travel experiences that the BFFs might have shared with the bride.The Best Minimal Mehndi Designs
While traditional mehndi never goes out of style, there’s just something so special about dainty designs. This is especially perfect if the bride herself is going minimal with her wedding henna. Instead of just relying on tried and tested patterns, Gurpreet Bhumber goes all out with the bridesmaids mehndi too. From modern flowers like roses and peonies to architectural marvels that signify some personal memory for the tribe, she creates gorgeous artworks. Her forte is mixing things up for a unique look, like traditional Indian with Arabic styles.For more information, visit: Apni Mehndi - Gurpreet Bhumberwww.ApniMehndi.comInstagram: @ApniMehndi
