Trending Home Mehndi Decor Ideas
Under My Umbrella
popular for mehendi decor, especially if you hold it out on the terrace or garden/lawn; old umbrellas make for a stylish decor idea. You can add different color contact paper to liven up plain drab umbrellas if you are doing it yourself, or you can tell your decorator your preferences. Pop of colors goes very well for mehendi ceremonies.
Light Up
If your ceremony is scheduled for the evening/night, break out the fairy lights and hang them around drapes if inside, or trees/plants if outside. If using inside, wrap it around colored drapes for a lovely mood! Truly sets the scene for gorgeous pictures.
Floral Bloom
A floral arch as a backdrop for the bride’s seat makes for a fantastic decor idea. You can get custom-made arches, and add to the pizzaz with some hanging baskets of flowers as well. A very elegant idea!
Picnic Feel
A daytime ceremony gives you room to play with some outdoorsy concepts from your childhood. Vibrant colored kites make for fantastic decor items, as well as old earthen pots that can be colored for a new feel. Throw in a hand-fan and we’re back into memories!
A popular mehendi decor piece is a curtain of flowers as a backdrop to the bride’s seating area. You can also use regular decorative drapes to create a similar effect.
Hang On!
Small things add up to a lot of charm – you can add tassles, lanterns, wicker baskets, etc. to your mehendi space to give it a chic, boho vibe! Take a trip down memory lane to arts and crafts in school, and get cracking! Add small diyas if holding the ceremony in the evening/night, and watch your space come alive!
Swingin’ Love
If you have a garden swing or can arrange one, it makes for the perfect seating area for the mehendi ceremony. You can arrange floral decoration on the swing.
Park Bench or Chair
If you don’t want a swing in the garden/lawn, opt for a bench or chair instead and give it an arch facade. Looks very elegant.
An innovative way to personalize your mehendi decor is to have a small teepee tent as the mehendi spot! The bride and the artisans can sit inside and be in their own cocoon. It’s a creative way to increase your space, especially when at home you might struggle to find a good spot for the bride. Plus it’s funky!
