The trends in henna designs have constantly evolved. Beginning with green henna and a few basic patterns and motifs like leaves and flowers and moon, now we see more colors and designs with endless perfection and finesse. All are beautiful and have their own significance. You can choose and try anything you like for your special night. Also, the efficiency of the henna artist matters on the popularity of that particular henna design and style.

1. Indian Mehndi Design

The reason why we call an Indian wedding a ‘big fat wedding’ is the incorporation of various elements - from music to decor to cuisines to venues to colorful ceremonies. We see everything in countless ways and styles. And so in the Mehndi designs. From single trails on the back and front of the hands to full coverage of the hands on both sides, with bride-groom portraits, their love journey, pets, the entire Baraat scene, the city they met, landmarks of proposal place, and various other auspicious artwork depicting a marriage ceremony, Indian mehndi style always has had something unique to offer and roots attached to it. You can find all types of Indian mehndi designs ranging from bold to thin, and heavy to minimal.

2. Pakistani Mehndi Design

Although one might say that both Indian and Pakistani designs are similar in pattern if you look closely. The Pakistani designs represent more about their culture and traditions. The designs are usually intricate to apply and the outlines are bolder in appearance. The design includes a moon with henna-tipped fingers, floral artwork, paisleys, domes, more leaves, and in many cases, doors of mosques and tomb structure.

3. Arabic Mehndi Design

Originating in the Gulf countries, Arabic henna designs are unique in styling, with bold lines and empty spaces. This type of mehndi involves a mix of floral artwork along with paisley patterns and has a certain amount of royalty and elegance attached to it. The best part is that they are minimal and take less time to apply than heavy henna designs.

4. White Henna Design

This is the new style of henna where the artist paints the hands with white adhesive glue mixed in white paint. The paste is prepared and poured into a tube to apply to the hands of the brides or guests attending the wedding. The white henna is not like regular henna but is a lot easier to apply. The best part is that it is less time-consuming and dries out in a few minutes. But costs a little extra than regular henna. Many brides are opting for this style of henna to change their look and try something different.

5. Red Henna Design

Red henna is quite popular in Native America, Asia, and Australia. This henna is made from a henna tree called Lawsonia Inermis. They are the source of reddish brown dye also used for body paint or art and in henna designs as well. The designs in red henna are very chic and minimal that any bride can choose for her special day.
