About Custom Portrait & Storytelling Mehndi
Why I Do Mehndi This Way
Mehndi is not just decoration for me - it’s about sharing your story, your people, your memories. I get most excited when I get to create something that's totally personal. You tell me what matters, and I sketch it out in mehndi. Sometimes it’s a simple couple portrait, sometimes it’s a whole love story, sometimes it’s remembering a pet who’s always been there.
What Goes Into Your Mehndi
- Portraits of loved ones, including family or even pets (yes, dogs and cats too)
- Hand-drawn couple portrait mehndi, with you and your partner in wedding looks or meaningful poses
- Milestones, like your proposal, first trip, or city skylines that mean something to you (Bangalore, Delhi, whatever’s home)
- Personalised bridal henna story with hobbies, inside jokes, or those little details only you two know
- Symbols - names, dates, special places (London Eye, Tower Bridge, anything from your travels), and designs that show off your roots. I can mix in traditional motifs like lotuses, peacocks, elephants if you want
My Approach & Materials
I only work with my own herbal mehndi cones, so no chemical stuff. Colour comes out deep and I promise it’ll look and feel good. I blend all your memories with classic designs, so it’s balanced and still feels like bridal mehndi.
What to Expect
It takes time, so you’ll need patience. But seeing your own story in mehndi? That’s the best part. Honestly, the colour fades, but the memory sticks. For me, being able to help you keep that memory is why I love this work.

My Story
Hey, I'm Sonu. Mehndi isn’t just a job for me, it’s a way to capture memories. I’ve drawn a couple’s London love story on their palms, even sketched a bride’s papa so he could be there with her. My own herbal mehndi paste? Pure stuff, gives real deep colour, I promise. Every design, every line, I put my heart in. Mehndi is love, mehndi is stories.
