The choice of Mehendi is incredibly personal for an array of brides. Arpita Mehta’s minimalist mehendi design is proof that you can tailor it as per your style aesthetic. Although the tradition of henna application dates back to centuries, it’s okay to mix it up and follow the tradition in your own way, like the bride.
Less Is More
From Arpita’s dainty kaleeras to her nails, and Mehendi everything was toned down for the big day. Rather than opting for heavy false lashes, the designer opted for a natural-looking flutter. Arpita ditched the heavy smoky eye which Indian brides often love to sport for minimal kohl-rimmed eyes. There was also no room for a heavy, cakey makeup base. Instead, the bride opted for a natural-looking complexion by applying just a little foundation and concealer to balance things out. A wash of subtle eyeshadow, brushed-up brows, and classic eyeliner complemented her nude mauve pout.
