What is a mehndi?

The mehndi is the pre-wedding celebration where the bride, and often the women of both families, have henna applied. It is usually the most colourful event of the wedding week, with bright decor, swings, floor seating, folk songs and dancing.

Punjabi, Pakistani, Gujarati and many other families celebrate it in their own way. We bring the entertainment and set-up that suit yours: dhol, folk singers, Bollywood or bhangra dancers, a DJ, a mehndi stage and decor.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    A mehndi stage or swing for the bride, with drapes and flowers

  • Step 2

    Folk singers or a dholki session while the henna goes on

  • Step 3

    A dhol entrance for the bride

  • Step 4

    Family dance performances, then professional dancers to lift the floor

  • Step 5

    A DJ for the rest of the night

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Give the henna space and light

    Henna takes time. A well-lit corner away from the dance floor keeps the bride comfortable while the party carries on.

  2. 2

    Build the night around performances

    Family dance routines are a highlight. Book a slot in the running order and give the DJ the tracks in advance.

  3. 3

    Pick a colour palette early

    Mehndi decor usually goes bold: marigold, pinks and greens. Share your colours and we match the stage and drapes.
