Traditionally speaking, mehndi forms an important part of a bride’s solah shringar. It was also considered as a way to protect her from evil eye. Scientifically, the henna paste is applied on the hands and feet of a bride as a means of cooling the nerve-endings of the body, preventing the nerves from tensing up. And what bride doesn’t need that before the big day? Cut to modern-day celebrations, the mehndi function allows the bride to slow down and switch off from her gadgets to simply enjoy the moment.Just like the beliefs have evolved, mehndi designs have come a long way too. Brides may choose to go Indian, Arabic or a mix of both when it comes to designs today. Like her outfit and other details, brides often create mood boards to request her henna artist to etch unique and personalised motifs to make the design truly hers. But in the lead up to finalising the bridal design, they are likely to forget shortlisting references for mehndi for the feet.The UK-based henna artist Kavita of KV Mendhi is best recognised in the wedding industry for her eye for detail. She ensures that the artwork on a bride’s feet is just as intricate and thoughtful as the motifs on her hands.

A medium coverage style to match her bridal hands. Minimalists will also lean towards bride Natasha’s simple mandalas elevated with butterflies and peacocks. “Symbolic of transformation, faithfulness, royalty, purity and immortality, this is a fitting design for her bridal henna.”The Best OTT Mehndi Designs For Your Feet
