A Traditional Mehndi & Sangeet festivity consists of henna art, playing of musical instruments, costume dress & decorations. Both events are customary Indian pre-wedding rituals. However to day , many are celebrating & hosting these events for any type of occasion...
Description:
The Mehndi party is held the night before the wedding. Traditionally, it is held in the home of the bride and only includes women from the bride`s side. It is a fun and relaxing evening for the bride to spend with her closest friends and relatives. The evening is spent applying mehndi (henna) designs to the bride`s hands, feet and anywhere else! Friends and family may also have some mehndi. While applications are being done their is music, dance and other entertainment for the guests.
Preparation:
The Bride`s family usually hosts and pays for this event. They may wish to hire a professional to apply the Mehndi. If there are a large number of guests, it is a good idea to have more than one person applying the mehndi. As well, the bride`s family may wish to prepare or cater a few dishes or snacks for the guests, to choose some music or entertainment and to have ready gifts or trinkets to hand out at the end of the evening.
Ideas & Tips:
The Mehndi should be a relaxing evening. Those who are getting mehndi (especially the bride) should wear clothing that is easy to remove without ruining the designs. Choose some designs ahead of time and show them to the person who is applying your mehndi. Select a design that suits your taste! Make it as simple or heavy as you desire and match it to the cut of your outfits. For example, if your blouse has a deep back, apply a motif on your upper back. In addition to your hands and feet, mehndi may be applied on your arms, back or wrists. Be creative! Indian Music:
