Marvelous Mehndi: Beautiful Bridal Henna Designs
If you've ever been to an Indian, Moroccan, or Pakistani wedding ceremony, you've probably seen — or worn — mehndi. Many brides, both abroad and in the United States, wear these henna "tattoos" on their hands and feet for wedding celebrations; look closely and you might spot their loved one's name worked into the design. Read on to see some strikingly beautiful examples of this decorative art form. Gorgeous!

1This is amazing.
2Whoa!
3beautiful slide show!!!
4sigh. i love mehndi. i wish i could do it all the time... it's such a time consuming process though! my hands dont dye with mehndi very easily so i (no joke) put them in plastic bags all night and don't take the mehndi off until the morning. that's the only way i can get a design that doesn't fade in a day or two!
5Such amazing work.
6I actually was born and grew up in Morocco for most of my life (half moroccan, half english)and I always used to get henna done on my hands and feet by my auntie every year. This makes me proud, it's so beautiful!

15my best friend from childhood got married in india a while back and i was fortunate enough to go -- and even though i'm a guy, i got some mehndi on me as well
it was amazingly gorgeous; i put together a small video montage of my trip which shows the mehndi designs on our hands. http://www.vimeo.com/892172
16One of my girls got married a couple of years ago. One of the first events she had was a mehndi party. The bride and a few others decided to get theirs done professionally by an artist who was present at the party. But the rest of us did each others palm and it was so much fun and pretty!
17my best friend is indian and i get it done all the time... we have been friends since we were 3!
18Thanks Pop for featuring this! Beautiful work, nice to see some diversity on the site!
19I just realized - mehndi is also available in different colours - solid and sparkly!
20Always admired them. Marriage or not, I'd like the opportunity to receive one.
21omg i took that pic! w00t!
22Mehndi is so pretty. I like the Indian designs better because of the detail and variety. The Pakistani and Indian culture is so unique and exotic. Indian/Pakistani women are unbelievably gorgeous.
