I spend time with you beforehand to sketch the layout, ensuring the portraits of you and your partner or the specific moments from your love story look exactly right. It requires a different level of focus, often utilizing 0.3mm pin cones for those microscopic details, so please account for the extra time this level of detail demands compared to standard patterns. Every bridal hand has a story to tell, and my role is to make sure that story is clear. Whether you want to include the skyline of the city where you met, a depiction of a proposal, or portraits of the bride and groom, these custom designs are my absolute passion. ### Why Custom Designs Take Time This is not standard henna. This is high-density work. When I include portraits or typography—like your wedding hashtag or names—I am essentially sketching on skin. I use a proprietary triple-sifted organic henna paste that flows perfectly for fine lines, allowing for the shading and depth needed to make faces look recognizable and motifs look sharp. Because I prioritize finishing over speed, these designs are for brides who value quality over finishing in a rush. ### What We Can Include - **Portraits:** Accurate representations of the couple, often placed on the palms for prominence. - **Story Elements:** Elements like coffee mugs, hobby symbols, or dates that hold personal significance. - **Typography:** Names, dates, or meaningful quotes in clear calligraphy. - **Themed Borders:** I integrate these portraits within your chosen style, whether it is traditional Indian jaali work or bold Dubai-style negative space. ### Planning Your Session If you are looking for this level of detailing, we should start the discussion early. I offer a pre-application consultation to sketch and plan the layout. It helps me prepare the right cone consistency and ensures that the final design is exactly what you envisioned for your big day in Mumbai or beyond. ## About Mehendi by Moon I am the face behind Moon Mehendi, and for me, mehndi is about translating your emotions onto your skin.
