As we enter the new year, the world of bridal fashion is set to witness a major shift. The modern bride is a fearless fashionista who is not afraid to embrace her individuality and style. In 2023, the Mehendi bride is all about taking risks and making a statement. From minimal Mehendi strokes to contemporary glitter and stones, let’s take a closer look at the best bridal Mehendi trends for 2023.
1. Minimalist Mehendi
Clean lines and negative space are used to create a subtle, contemporary aesthetic. Many brides opt for thin combed, understated mehendi designs to complement the look of their wedding dress. This type of design looks great when paired with a basic chikankari lehenga or pastels on your wedding day.
2. Floral designs
Bridal Mehendi designs include flowers like roses, lotus,s, and daisies. This kind of design is timeless. Women from many eras have worn this style, which is a favorite that will never go out of style. It works especially beautifully if you have a printed and floral wedding dress.
3. Arabic Mehendi
Intricate designs with geometric shapes and abstract designs inspired by Arabic calligraphy. Arabic mehendi is less elaborate than Indian mehendi or henna, which is applied to the entire hand. Unlike mehendi, which goes through the wrists, it mainly focuses on the palm. Compared to other mehendi designs, the Arabic mehendi design features scattered patterns, giving the designs a more sprawling look.
4. Glitter and rhinestones
Glitter and rhinestones are used to add sparkle to the Mehendi designs. Sparkling henna is an excellent substitute for classic brown henna. Instead of a necklace or bracelets, try silver henna.
5. Mehendi Portrait
Use Mehendi to create realistic portraits of celebrities, pets,s or loved ones. Many brides do this for their husbands and try to make it as stunning as possible while slaying with their gorgeous bridal makeup and jewelry.
6. Fusion Mehendi
Traditional Indian Mehendi designs are combined with modern elements such as mandalas and paisleys. Incorporating henna designs from different ethnic traditions or merging henna with other art forms or methods can be examples of fusion mehendi.
7. BodyJewelry Mehendi
Creating Mehendi designs that look like body jewelry like rings, anklets,s, and necklaces. We’ve seen this pop up with celebrity brides reaching for plunging necklines and backless wedding dresses, which can allow them to showcase this timeless art in all its glory.
8. Bangle Mehendi
Using Mehendi designs to replicate bangles on the wrist. These designs create the right blend between modern and traditional mehendi. Mehendi bracelet designs are often made of a ring or belt that wraps around the wrist, hand,d or fingers. Gaps between designs are generally used to showcase a detailed pattern.
