I believe your bridal mehendi should be exactly what you imagined. We start by sketching your custom designs on paper, and once you are happy, I bring them to life on your skin.

This video shows the process of creating a full bride figure sketch with henna on paper. This is how I practice and perfect my portrait skills to ensure your mehendi is flawless.

A look into my design book. I sketch out complex patterns, like these floral and jhumka (bell) motifs, to offer unique and ready-made options for my clients.

About From Sketch to Skin

If you are worried about how a custom portrait or specific love story motif will look on your hands, this is how we avoid surprises. We sketch every detail on paper first—from the exact look of your lehenga to specific palace arches or couple portraits—so you can see and approve the layout before I ever touch a cone of mehendi to your skin.
