I use a specific combination of lemon-sugar sealant and medical tape to lock in the color, ensuring your design reaches its maximum, darkest potential by the time your wedding or event arrives. My process is all about connection. Whether you book my Signature Storytelling Package or an Event Themed session, I start by understanding your vision. We move from initial sketches—capturing your portraits, initials, or architectural motifs like forts and temples—to the actual application. I use 100% natural, triple-sifted organic henna mixed with essential oils, which is the foundation for the 'stain goals' everyone looks for. For bridal work, my team joins in to ensure no one is left waiting. We handle everything from the fine, intricate facial features in portrait mehndi to the broader, bold lines of arm and leg coverage. Based in Navi Mumbai, I travel across India for weddings and events. Every design, whether it’s a baby shower motif or a full bridal lehenga story, is treated with the same level of focus and patience. I’m always sketching, practicing, and refining my lines so that when I work on your hands, the result is crisp, clear, and rich. ## About Mittal Patel I’m Mittal. For me, mehndi is more than just patterns; it’s your story told through lines and shade. I’m based in Navi Mumbai but travel wherever you need me to bring your vision to life.
