“Mehndi Hai Rachnewaali, Haathon Mein Gehri Laali, Kahe Sakhiyaan, Ab Kaliyaan, Haathon Mein Khilnewaali Hain, Tere Mann Ko, Jeevan Ko, Nayi Khushiyaan Milnewaali Hai…” Mehendi ki raat is one of the most memorable days in any Indian bride’s life. Do you know there is an exciting ritual related to the mehendi of the bride? Well, yeah, for the uninitiated ones, one ritual is all about hiding your husband’s name in your bridal mehendi. There are many ways in which you can ask your mehndi artist to write your to-be husband’s name in bridal mehndi design. Below are a few interesting ways for hiding the name in an amazing manner.
1. How about scattering all the alphabets?
This is going to be hell lot of funny and if your husband’s name is a big one (like if it contains lots of alphabets) then this will include a lot of hard work.
2. What if you engrave the meaning of the name?
Now if the above one didn’t go well with you, then we have another interesting way to do a mehendi design that is by drawing the meaning of the name by using picture illustration. For instance, if your husband’s name is Kamal, then you can ask your mehendi artist to draw a lotus flower in your mehendi.
3. The cupid’s strike design
For those who want to go the easy and breezy way, they can include the name of the husband by drawing a cupid design and inside the heart you can write the name.
4. Playing with the tips of the hands
In order to enhance the overall look of the mehendi, the artists usually fill the tips of the finger with blob of henna. But what you can do is write the initials of the name right there.
5. At the back of the hands
Well, this is going to something like pyaar ka elaan, if you inscribe the name of your husband at the back of your hand. What do you think?
