Custom Mehendi Designs and Personalised Henna Art
See my favorite, most intricate designs that tell your unique stories. From quirky messages and couple portraits to traditional patterns, this is where I showcase the art that makes your celebration truly yours.
I specialize in creating custom portrait mehendi to celebrate your journey into parenthood. This design for a baby shower features a portrait of the happy couple holding their newborn, with the phrase 'happiness is on the way' to mark this beautiful new chapter.
For your engagement, we can create a design that is both traditional and personal. This intricate mehendi features the couple's initials, 'ND', and interlocking rings, surrounded by classic peacock and floral motifs that extend up the forearm.
Celebrate festivals like Karwachauth with a design that tells your love story. This henna art features a romantic portrait of a couple in a traditional embrace on one palm, and a depiction of the Karwa ritual on the other, blending personal figures with festive symbolism.
Mehendi is for everyone in the family, and it should be fun. I love creating quirky and personalized designs, like this one for a client's mother that proudly says 'HOT SASUMAA', complete with royal swan and elephant motifs.
I design beautiful, coordinated mehendi for the entire bridal party. This full-hand design for the sister of the bride features bold peacock figures and traditional Indian patterns, ensuring the whole family looks and feels part of the celebration.
Your mehendi design can extend to beautiful patterns for your feet. This bridal feet design includes charming baby elephant motifs within traditional architectural frames, complete with delicate hanging jhumka details for a royal touch.
For bridesmaids and guests, I offer elegant and stylish designs that complement the main event. This is an example of a beautiful Arabic-style floral mehendi, which provides a lighter, yet equally stunning, option for the bride's tribe.
I can create truly unique designs to celebrate any family occasion. This custom mehendi was designed for a client celebrating two major family events at once: her brother-in-law's wedding ('Devar ki Shaadi') and her son's mundan ceremony.
If you prefer a more minimalist style, I can create a simple yet meaningful design. This engagement mehendi focuses on a single palm, featuring a detailed couple portrait, while the other hand highlights the engagement date and initials inside a ring motif.
My work often includes classic and royal Indian themes. This traditional henna design showcases intricate architectural elements like palace windows, along with elephant motifs and peacock mandalas at the wrist.
About Featured
You will not find generic pattern books here. Whether it is a portrait of your proposal, a hidden date, or a cheeky message like 'Hot Sasumaa' for your in-laws, I sketch the details that actually matter to you. My henna is not just about covering your palms; it is about documenting your personal milestones in ink.
Your Story, My Canvas
Mehendi is personal. When you look at your hands after the color develops, you should see your own journey reflected back at you. This collection features my favorite custom projects where I moved beyond standard motifs to incorporate things like family nicknames, specific wedding dates, and intricate figure work.
Why Choose Custom Henna?
- Portrait Work: I specialize in recreating your most cherished moments, such as your proposal or a significant family milestone, directly on your skin.
- Quirky Details: Weddings are fun, and your mehendi should be too. I have hidden everything from humorous messages to inside jokes within my designs.
- Traditional Roots: While I love the modern, personalised touches, my foundation is in classic Indian artistry. I use bold, dark-staining, 100% organic henna mixed with eucalyptus oil to ensure that even the finest details stand out.
My Process
I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area to work with you. Before I start, I like to chat about what you want included. We discuss the placement—whether you prefer a full-arm heavy design or something minimalist for an engagement—and the specific elements that make your story unique. Because I use a chemical-free, natural paste, it is safe for everyone, from brides-to-be to mothers celebrating their baby shower.
If you have a theme or a specific idea in mind, let me know. I am always excited to try new concepts that push the boundaries of traditional bridal mehendi.
