About Engagement & Pre-Wedding Styles
Every couple has a unique story, and your engagement mehendi is the perfect place to share it. Whether you want to include your professions—like the photographer and engineer designs I’ve created—or subtle nods to your hobbies, I storyboard these elements into your mehendi so it feels personal, not just a standard pattern.
Your Story, Painted in Henna
Your engagement or sakharpuda is the first step of your new journey, and the mehendi should reflect that excitement. I don't believe in standard, 'off-the-shelf' designs. My approach is to sit with you, hear about how you met, your favourite things, or even the quirky details that define your relationship, and turn them into hand-drawn art.
The Custom Process
When we start planning your engagement mehendi, we look at the specific themes you want. It might be subtle elements like your wedding date, interlocking rings, or initials woven into floral wreaths. For couples who want something truly different, I love working on creative, modern themes—think portraits of you and your partner, or symbols representing your careers, like cameras for photographers or circuits for engineers. If you have an idea, we can make it happen.
Organic & Safe
Beyond the design, the quality of the henna matters. I use my own homemade, 100% organic henna paste. It is completely chemical-free, safe for your skin, and formulated to leave that deep, rich maroon stain everyone loves for their function. Whether you are in Dombivli or anywhere across Mumbai, I travel to your venue to apply the designs.
Practical Details
For engagement and pre-wedding bookings, my packages range from ₹3000 to ₹5500 per event. This covers application on both hands up to the mid-forearm or elbow. We will have a quick consultation before your big day to finalize the storyboards and design motifs, so everything is ready to go on the day of your event.
