The mehndi ceremony is often one of the first wedding ceremonies, and it is also a relatively intimate affair. Unlike the other festivities that call for heavily embellished outfits, you can experiment with your wardrobe for this occasion. While finding the perfect outfit can be time consuming, it’s often a fun process. Floral jewellery is one of the most beautiful mehndi traditions, and most brides go for it. So, let your ensemble complement the fresh blooms by opting for vibrant colours, playful prints and a comfortable fabric. Skipping the ornate route for your outfit will ensure a seamless henna application, and most importantly, you will enjoy the event. To help you with your search, we have picked out ten stunning mehndi outfits that you can grab from bridaltrunk.co.uk.
