About Mehndi Artistry for Weddings & Special Occasions
My Mehndi Journey
Getting that perfect mehndi paste took me ages. Sometimes too thick, sometimes it just ran everywhere, and lumps? Don't even ask. Dheere-dheere (slowly, slowly), I found what works for me. Now, my paste gives smooth lines and a dark stain every time.
Your Story, My Henna
Your mehndi should say something about you, not just look pretty. I love adding little details from your life - maybe your family's story on one hand, your love story on the other. Names, logos, vows, or even words like sanskar (values), shakti (strength), sneh (love) - sab kuch (everything) can become part of your design. That’s what makes it really apne jaisa (like your own).
Signature Styles
- Go all out with my intricate bridal mehndi patterns - dense, royal, and full of traditional motifs like palaces, peacocks, or elephants.
- Want portraits or scenes? I’ll turn your mehndi into a canvas – from Radha-Krishna to baraat processions.
- Prefer minimalist wedding guest mehndi? I do simple, delicate vines and paisleys too, for that classy look.

My Story
Mehendi is my first love. I’ve been sketching bridal dreams on hands for ages, but when my own wedding came, I wanted my mehndi to be extra special. I even designed my own ceremony outfit! Being a bride made me realise how much these moments matter. That’s why I pour my heart into every bridal mehndi, because I know how it feels from both sides.
