Bridal Mehndi style |
In context of an Indian and Pakistani bride, mehndi is believed to signify the strength of her marriage as well as the amount of love that she will receive in her husband’s house. In fact, it is said that the darker the color ofthe mehendi (on the hands and the feet of a bride), the stronger will be the marriage and longer it will last.
At the same time, the dark color of henna
is also said to mean that the bride will receive a lot of love from her
husband as well as her in-laws. This is the reason why, after the
application of bridal mehndi designs, the bride undertakes a lot of efforts, like applying oil or heat, to ensure that the color is dark. The application of mehndi, on the bride’s hands and feet, is also considered to be auspicious.
