What makes a wedding memorable? The simple answer is adding details that have some significance and sentimental value attached to it. For some brides, this can translate as big elements like personalised design and décor. For some, it could be small customisations to her wedding outfit. While most of these aspects leave room for personalisation only to an extent, there’s one way you can pull all stops. With your mehndi design, of course!
Your hands and forearms make for perfect canvases to depict your love story, include your favourite things, wedding hashtag, hobbies, meaningful dates, names or even portraits.

If you ask us, there’s no one better than Kavita of KV Mendhi to do it for you. From quirky elements to intricate artworks, the prominent UK-based henna artist has aced the art of personalising bridal mehndi.

Wave The Flag
For this bride, who moving from England to Canada, Kavita of KV Mendhi included flags of both flags as a nod to her new journey. She also etched a design of the London Tower Bridge, where the groom proposed.
The Land Of Kiwis
Although traditional Indian mehndi includes birds like peacocks, Kavita went all our for this design by including New Zealand’s endemic bird kiwi, along with other animal mascots. The skylines from the island country also made for a beautiful touch.
Wing It
For her big day, bride Ranjit requested Kavita to incorporate cute little penguin motifs in her henna—a quirky yet adorable idea for anyone who loves this flightless bird. Representing the bride’s proposal at the sky gardens was the almost real-life London skyline.
Blessings Only
What’s a wedding without blessings from loved ones! As a heartfelt tribute to her grandparents whom bride Simrin was close to, Kavita designed their portraits on her wedding mehndi.
Furry Friends
Speak to any pet owner and they’ll tell you that their furry friends are not just friends but family. It’s why Kavita often gets a request to translate brides’ pets on their wedding henna. Her bride Kareen asked for specific personalised details on the day, her beautiful Husky being one of the features in her mehndi.
Doctor's Orders
From a pictorial representation of their proposal to a stethoscope with romantic details, bride Sharan’s bridal mehndi was all heart and personalised. KV Mendhi’s perfect symmetry in design was evident in every line and curve.
Fun & Games
Be it a favourite restaurant or common hobbies, every couple connects over a few common threads. For bride Manveer, it was their mutual love for Liverpool Football Club and Singaporean skyline.
But First, Coffee
Coffee unites many couples across the world. Here, Kavita of KV Mendhi added her own twist the bride’s love for the beverage by making a henna design as beautiful garlands where she replaced florals with coffee mugs.
