## 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.

### Why Alankaar

Only homemade, organic mehndi paste for weddings - no chemicals, just pure stuff, *ghar ki* (from home). The stain gets deeper over 24-48 hours. I’ll give you all the aftercare tips so it lasts long and looks stunning.

### Mumbai & Beyond

Based in Mumbai but happy to travel for destination wedding mehndi. Wherever your wedding is, I’m ready to bring my art with me.

## Meet your expert

[Alankaar Mehndi by Riya](https://mytribe.in/alankaar_mehndi_by_riya)

### 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.

### My work

- **Bridal Mehndi & Custom Stories**: I do detailed Indian royal bridal mehndi, couple figures, and theme-based mehndi telling your story.
- **Signature Style**: Love palaces, elephants, peacocks. My designs are grand, but I also do minimalist if you want.
- **Personalized Designs**: Want FRIENDS, chai, or your love story in mehndi? I can weave it in, just ask.
- **Online Mehndi Classes**: I teach everything online - from basic to bridal, even Insta tips. You can start your own journey.
- **Travel for Brides**: Based in Mumbai, but I travel for destination bridal mehndi. Your city, your big day, I’ll be there.
