The beauty of Indian weddings lies in their ritual and traditions that have been passed on generation after generation. While some rituals have been modified to fit the modern world, others continue its legacy. Henna also known as mehndi, is one of them, and quite frankly it's one of the most prominent markers of a newly married woman. Often newly wedded women can be identified by their henna applied till their elbows and on their feet.

Some brides love the tradition but others may not be a fan of henna, but no matter what on your wedding day this is an important marker. If you're a bride to be or have an upcoming wedding in the family, we've put together a list of some gorgeous mehndi designs by KV Mendhi that will make you fall in love at first sight.
When it comes to bridal mehndi, the more intricate the better. Henna artist Kavita has nailed the art of thin strokes and intricate designs. From floral motifs to traditional Indian elements like the jhumkas, peacocks and bride groom figurines, she knows how to artistically and subtly incorporate these design elements. Moving away from the idea of letting one major design be the focal point, Kavita often blends together an eye-catching motif with other filler designs to make the creations stand out. A recurrent theme in all her designs is how she leans towards floral elements with new iterations. Be it roses, a circular floral pattern, a lotus or a traditional flower design, each creation will definitely feature this key motif.
Keeping the designs feminine, elegant and sophisticated, Kavita often uses the arm of the bride as a canvas to express her creativity. This gorgeous henna design featuring a figurine of a detailed elephant under a tree moving with the breeze is proof enough.
Showcasing her creative skills is another design featuring intricately detailed portraits of the bride in a chariot and the groom on a horse on either arm.
What we love about the design is that no two creations ever look the same. Yes, there are similar elements but each design is created in a way to make it look unique from any other prior creation. Scroll on to see some of Kavita's best work.
