Mehndi Sarees

Shasthi
Sage, mint, olive and a bright lime
This page is only sarees, and only for the mehndi, so the greens run deep. Sage, mint, olive, emerald, parrot and a highlighter lime that photographs beautifully. If you've settled on a drape, this is the easiest place to compare fabrics side by side.
We'd split them by mood. For handwork, the Cat's Eye sage organza has leaf cut dana that carries onto the blouse fabric. For shine, the Mehndi Muse metallic satin swings with pendant tassels. Weave lovers should see the Gajji mint silk with a zari pallu, and the Highlighter chiffon with mirror pendants is pure fun on the dance floor.
A few save you a trip to the tailor. The High on Henna metallic satin arrives with a yellow sequin readymade blouse, and you'll find more like it among our sarees with stitched blouses. Pendants and tassels do a lot of the work, so gold jhumkas are usually enough. For kurta sets as well, head back to the main mehndi page.
Good to know
Which green suits a mehndi best?
For daytime, lighter sage, mint or lime in organza or chiffon. For evening, deeper emerald and olive in metallic satin or sequins.
How do I keep my saree away from wet henna?
Get dressed before your mehndi is applied, pin the pallu at the shoulder and choose a short or sleeveless blouse.
Can I wear it again after the wedding?
Easily. A green metallic satin or Banarasi works for festive evenings, poojas and Diwali parties.
