Mehndi Color Biography Pics
Mehndi has always been a vital part of an Indian Wedding ceremony. In the past, brides were decorated in intricate patterns reaching well above their elbows and knees. But as time has passed, mehndi, as so many other aspects of Indian Weddings, has changed to suit a new era. Modern brides now prefer to keep it simple – mehndi that rests comfortably on the forearm and shins in a variety of new styles.
Many are choosing Arabic mehndi for its elegance and clean lines. Its subtlety gives henna a contemporary edge, making it the most popular choice amongst modern brides. Nevertheless, some brides are also going the other way by choosing new eye-catching trends such as gold-colored mehndi, stones, and glitter. The designs may not be easy to come by (only one or two henna artists in the States use these accents), but it can be done if you are looking for something dazzling.For centuries, Indian brides have sat through a ceremony that essentially leaves them handless and footless, neurotically guarding their limbs from imminent ruin. So why? What role does mehndi play in the Indian Wedding?
It’s about love. The mehndi is meant to signify the strength of the bride’s marriage and the amount of love she is about to receive. The deeper the mehndi’s color, the deeper the adoration. Whether this love is the bride’s for the groom or the groom’s for the bride changes according to culture and family.
It’s also an icebreaker. Little games such as hiding the groom’s name in the patterns served as a way to settle nerves back when bride and groom may have barely known each other. The groom’s ability to find his name in a mess of peacocks and paisleys was also a testament to his sharpness and served as a good omen for their conjugal future.
