To ensure you get a picture-perfect mehndi look, here are 9 important things to consider before finalizing your bridal mehndi artist.

1. Be Aware of the Latest Mehndi Trends

Start by understanding what’s trending! From minimalistic patterns to Arabic designs and personalized portrait styles, get familiar with what brides are loving these days.

2. Know What Kind of Design You Want

Decide whether you want an elaborate design like Deepika Padukone’s or something more personal like Priyanka Chopra’s mehndi. Save reference images to share with your artist.

3. Research Artists Online & Offline

Check mehndi artist portfolios on Instagram and bridal platforms. Ask recently married friends or family for trusted recommendations.

4. Go Through Their Portfolios Carefully

Once you shortlist a few artists, review their work in detail. Look for consistency in quality, neatness, and creativity across their designs.

5. Understand the Artist’s Signature Style

Some artists specialize in traditional designs while others are known for their experimental patterns. Pick someone whose style aligns with your preferences.

6. Share References and Stay Open to Ideas

Show the artist your design inspirations but be open to their suggestions. A skilled artist can customize and elevate the design uniquely for you.

7. Ask About Ingredients Used

Ensure your mehndi artist uses natural, organic henna without chemicals. This avoids allergic reactions and helps achieve a darker stain.

8. Clarify Application Time

Bridal mehndi for full arms and legs can take 5–8 hours or more. Check how long the artist would need based on your design and if a team will assist.

9. Consider Your Budget

Ask for quotes and package details. Some artists charge extra for intricate designs or extended hours—make sure everything fits your wedding budget.

Bonus Tip: Ask for a Trial

If possible, schedule a trial session. It helps assess the artist’s speed, design precision, and whether the mehndi suits your skin.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right mehndi artist is essential for flawless bridal hands and feet. Do your research, ask the right questions, and book early—especially during peak wedding season.
