Your Love Story in Custom Mehendi Designs
Let’s turn your memories into art. From city skylines to your pet's portrait or wedding vows, I weave your personal story into intricate, custom mehendi that looks just like you.

About Your Story in Henna: Custom & Portrait Mehendi
When you book a custom portrait package, we don't just pick a design off the shelf. We start with a pre-wedding consultation to map out exactly how your story fits on your hands. Whether it is placing your dog's portrait on your forearm or weaving wedding vows into the cuff, I ensure the layout is balanced so the design stays clean and readable as the henna develops.
Mehendi is a canvas for your personal milestones. My custom and portrait packages are built to move beyond traditional motifs by incorporating the elements that define your relationship.
What We Can Include
- Portraits: Realistic likenesses of you, your partner, or your pets.
- Travel & Places: Landmarks that mean something to you, like the Netherlands skyline or Pune’s Shaniwar Wada, drawn with intricate shading.
- Cultural Elements: Specifically Maharashtrian touches like the nath (nose ring) and mangalsutra motifs, or Koli bride themes.
- Written Vows: Your wedding date or the seven vows written in elegant calligraphy.
The Process Because these designs involve realistic figures and specific architectural detail, they are labour-intensive. A signature storytelling session takes between 8 to 10 hours. I use 100% organic, triple-sifted Sojat henna, which ensures the deep, rich stain required to make those fine lines and portraits pop. We don't just rely on standard patterns; I use cutwork and negative space techniques to create high contrast, ensuring the custom elements don't get lost in the overall design. If you have a crazy idea, tell me. I have drawn everything from skylines to pets, and I am always ready to try something new.
