Besides being one of the most joyous occasions, mehendi is one ceremony where a bride can go all out and experiment with her outfit and accessories. Be it a short lehenga skirt or a pair of pants and crop top or even a jumpsuit, your mehendi outfit should be anything but basic. And given the fact that you now have all the time in the world to plan every little detail of your d-day, we’ve got you a list of 5 of our favourite designers who you must follow on Instagram. Their unique styles and fun colour palettes are perfect for the mehendi night.
