Anuj and Shruthi’s Haldi Ceremony and Mehendi | Cancun Mexico | Destination Wedding Photographers

Mendhi’s tend to happen so differently for each of our brides. I think it depends on a couple factors for the South Asian Bride as to how her event might unfold. Those determining factors could be how she was raised with mendhi association in her family, her personal feelings on the application of mendhi – some simply don’t like it, then there are others that know and understand the history of it culturally and want to reap the benefits of the cleansing, partaking in heritage and bonding it provides as it is typically an affair full of estrogen! We have seen throughout the years our girls becoming more and more creative with the art of their mendhi – the incorporation of not only the groom’s name puzzled in that creates a fun word find in itself – I think that given the laborious skill and talent that goes into the art of it is a time intensive ritual that many must endure. Not to mention that they will be adorned by it or its remanences for the next month post application. Talk about a temporary tattoo 🙂
