On oriental weddings, Mehndi is a must. The evening before the wedding, the Mehndi is applied. All girlfriends and female familiemembers of the bride, get together and celebrate. Traditional songs are sung to give the Bride good luck. In a few Religions the Mehendi ceremony is verly ritualised. In on religions for instance the Mehndi application can only start after the mother in law has applied the first mark on the hand of the bride. It is belivied that, the intesity of the Mehndi reflects the love of the bridegroom for the bride. Traditionally the name of the bridegroom is worked into the Mehndi pattern of the bride.

-I recommend not use an oily soap else color will not come out properly.
-And also suggest you to not to stay close to the air conditioner as it dries up the mehendi.
-Warmer the body temperature, faster the mehndi will stain as heat and moisture helps mehndi stain darker and faster.
-Use soap while washing hand to get a lighter color.

# Think about the style and the theme that you want to set for the mehendi party. Since it is a private affair, wherein only the close female relatives (besides family members) are called upon, keep the theme simple.
# Decorating the place with fresh flowers and scented tea-lights is a nice idea. It will set a lovely ambience for the ceremony. Wind chimes, hung at the dividers of the rooms, would add to the overall appeal.
# Ensure that you provide the home with enough lighting. It is wise not to resort to dim lighting, because it is mehendi ceremony, wherein intricate designs of henna are carefully applied on the bride’s hands and feet. Hang a crystal chandelier at the place, where the mehendi is applied.
# The mehendi party mood can be reflected by making use of henna color scheme for the entire place. Arrange henna-colored throw pillows on the couch. Use shades of green for the comforters, bedding, table cloth and curtains. Choose the right shades of green for the purpose. Bring in variations by making use of contrasting shades of the color.
# Hang a string of bells at the entranceway of the place. You may also welcome your guests by hanging a small banner at the entranceway.

Mehndi / Henna Tips – Sugar and Lemon Juice Fixative
This mixture is the most common for dabbing on the damp paste to keep it moist and help secure it to your skin. I prefer to use the unrefined evaporated cane juice (Sucanet) or jaggery, but many people use white sugar. I also mix mine a bit sweeter than most people I have talked to.
What you will need:
2tbsp sugar (again, I used the cane juice or jaggery)
2tbsp lemon juice
Mix thoroughly until the sugar is all liquified in the juice. I store the extra in the fridge until I need it again. So far I haven’t had any problems with it, and presently there is a 2 month old batch of this in my fridge.
I have begun purchasing the large bottle of lemon juice concentrate, and simmering cloves in the juice for a couple of hours. I strain the lemon/clove juice back into the bottle and just keep in in my fridge until I need it.

The art form of applying henna / mehndi varies from region to region. The varying designs can mean different things to each culture, such as good health, fertility, wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.
It spans different cultures and religious traditions, thus making it possible to recognize distinctions in cultural style. Arabic mehndi designs are generally large, floral patterns on the hands and feet. Indians doing mehndi use fine, thin lines for lacy, floral and paisley patterns covering entire hands, forearms, feet, and shins. African mehndi patterns are bold, large geometric designs, usually black. After the henna paste is removed Africans apply a blackish paste of ashes, ammonia compounds and other corrosives to get the henna stain to turn out blackish. This is poisonous and is not a recommended procedure as there have been reported deaths from this procedure. We can only assume the reason they would go to these risky lengths is the natural color that henna stains, dark brown to dark orange, does not show up as well on very dark skin.
