5. White Mehndi Designs

White mehndi designs have become the talk of the town and are slowly becoming a norm. The application of white henna was apparently started as a trendy and quirky makeup idea. It almost gives away a Boho and rustic vibe. In general when we say Mehndi or Henna, dark brown or wine red stained hands with intricate designs with floral, leaf, and other motifs cross our mind. But that is not the case anymore, white mehndi has made its space in the mainstream and is not going anywhere so soon. And as per the latest trend, you can go for a white mehndi design for any festive event for a change. 

Intricate White Henna Design

The white mehndi will look stunning on brides who will choose to wear pastel colors on their wedding and the brides who are not a big fan of mehndi stains or have any other restrictions for which they cannot apply Mehndi can opt for white mehndi as it stays in for a few hours.

6. Foot Mehndi Design

A bridal mehndi feels complete when the bride applies mehndi on her feet too. It looks so beautiful when the mehndi stain darkens and the work of the artist gets more clear. When selecting mehndi designs, we often focus on hand designs, and foot designs kind of cross our mind at the 11th hour. With the new age brides, everything has to be up to their taste and a design chosen at the last moment also needs to be according to their taste. In general, very few brides go for an elaborate and heavy design on their feet, most of them select a minimal design that does not restrict them from moving here and there.
