The Mehndi Muse Edit
From our studio
Mehndi, with a modern streak
This is our take on the mehndi for the cousin who wants to look new. It's built around jade, lime, emerald and henna gold, with fewer plain drapes and more capes, jackets and dhoti pants. Pants are honestly the smart choice when you're sitting cross-legged while the artist works.
The suit side is where this edit shines. The Korean emerald dress set comes with a satin organza cape, and the Lilly lime satin top has stylish wrap pants. A royal green shimmer jacket goes over butter chiffon. Still want a drape? The Sparkling Henna saree arrives with gold sequins and an embellished blouse.
Separates help you restyle what you already own. A lush green shimmer cape blouse or an emerald stretch blouse can refresh a plain saree, and the stretch moves with you once the dancing starts. For a December function, the green velvet shawl keeps you warm without hiding the outfit. The men get the Hamilton green satin kurta with gold buttons and a sage satin kurta, so couples can match tones without matching fabrics.
Good to know
How is this different from your main mehndi page?
This edit is styled and much wider, with Indo-western sets, cape blouses, men's kurtas and potlis. Our mehndi page is mostly sarees.
Can I wear Indo-western to a mehndi?
Absolutely. A dress set with a cape or a top with wrap pants is comfortable for sitting and dancing, and still feels festive.
What works for a winter mehndi?
Layer up with a jacket set, a cape blouse or the velvet shawl. A green velvet sequin potli suits the season too.
