Bridal Henna

Pellentesque habitant morbi?

Planning a wedding is a thrilling adventure, and we’re here to make sure your henna experience is stress-free and delightful. There are two main aspects to consider: your own stunning bridal design and the henna you’ll provide for your guests. This section focuses on your bridal henna. For guest henna details, please check our dedicated section for details.

Things to Consider for Bridal Henna

When choosing your bridal henna, think about:

  • How much coverage do you want?
  • What style do you prefer?
  • Are there any important symbols you'd like included?
  • Will you hide the groom’s name or initials in the design?
  • Would you like henna on your feet as well as your hands?

How Long Does Bridal Henna Take?

  • Pulvinar Sapien Interdum Posuet Ligula Ullamcorper Malesuada Libero.
  • Et Harum Quidem Rerum Facilis Est Et Expedita Distinctio.
  • Ineu Mibibendum Neque Egestas Congue Quisque Tempus Imperdiet Nulla.

  • Imperdiet Massa Tincidunt Nunc Pulvinar Sapien Et Ligula Ullamcorper.
  • Arcu Felis Bibendum Uttristique Etegestas Quis Ipsum Uspen.

Bridal henna typically takes about 4-6 hours, depending on the design chosen. Simple bridal henna can be completed in 2-3 hours, while elaborate, intricate designs may take 8+ hours and often involve multiple artists working together. Brides traditionally have intricate designs on their palms, with simpler patterns on the backs of their hands. Intricate palm henna makes for the best “look at my henna!” posed photos, as the color on the palms is extra rich and vibrant.

When to Schedule Your Bridal Henna

Schedule your bridal henna 2-3 days before the wedding for the best color development. Henna takes 2-3 days to fully darken but can be done one day before if necessary. Applying it 4 days before the wedding, especially overnight, also works well.

Aftercare

  • Keep the henna on for 4-8 hours for optimal stain development.
  • Steam your henna with a boiling water pan (or chai!) to set the color faster and achieve a richer stain.
  • Do your manicure before your henna to avoid affecting the stain.
  • Avoid exfoliants and nail polish remover after henna application.
  • Apply your spray tan after the henna to avoid creating a barrier.
  • Remove contact lenses before application as your fingertips will be stained.
  • Wear comfortable clothes and have someone assist you during the application, especially for longer sessions. Enjoy the tradition of being pampered while getting your henna done – it’s a special part of your wedding journey!
