Stunning Mehendi Designs For The Minimalist Bride
‘Less is more’ seems to be the new mehendi mantra!
While the traditional adornments and elements are still viewed as essential among brides, many are open to experimentation. Brides today are choosing pastel colors over the traditional red for their lehengas, and floral kaleerein over the usual gold. As times and trends change, women are keen to move away from wedding clichés, with even their mehendi getting a modern makeover. Intricate, detailed designs are now giving way to personalized, minimalistic patterns that are as beautiful as they are unique.
