Introduction
In this blog post, we’ll be reviewing a workshop on how to get the perfect figures used in bridal mehndi design given by me – (Mr. Harin Dalal), I am an expert in the field of Mehendi design. I have been providing workshops for many years on various topics including henna designs and other traditional Indian Mehendi art forms.
Recently I held a workshop in President Hotel, Pune for 5 days i.e from 22nd Aug to 26th Aug. wherein I explain some of the tips to choose perfect Figures useful in bridal mehndi. About 39 Participants actively participated in the seminar.
That workshop was about how to get a perfect bridal mehndi design so that you can plan ahead of time and have a beautiful design on your wedding day. I have also mentioned what type of mehndi should be used and how it should be applied, as well as tips for choosing the perfect colour and pattern for your needs.
The main idea of bridal Mehendi
According to me, the main point about mehndi design for a bridal is that “it should be ornate, intricate, and beautiful. It should not be cluttered or busy, but instead, have a clean look to it. The groom’s hand would have an extra pattern on it that was not on the bride’s hand for example, or the bride’s mehndi may be a different colour than the groom’s since they are together”.
Figures useful in bridal Mehendi designs
I am having years of experience in bridal mehndi design, and I believe that it is not just about using henna for beauty, but about how you can use it to add meaning and stories to your event.
In the workshop, a common question among most people was choosing the perfect figures for bridal Mehendi design, so I shared my expertise on the best figures for bridal Mehendi at a recent workshop in Pune. I began by emphasizing that while all of these figures are important to learn, they should be applied in different proportions depending on how intricate and ornate you want your design to look.
I also emphasized that there is no such thing as a single best figure, but rather one size does not fit all. I also stressed that before applying any figure in a design it is important to paint the background colour so it matches the skin tone, or else you will notice every imperfection or uneven spot.
I encouraged my artists to be creative when designing bridal mehndi designs. In general, I recommended using lines sparingly to preserve the balance between feminine and masculine symbols which often exist together in Indian designs.
Stick to curves, I said. When drawing dots try not to put them next to each other. Lines are more popular in Persian Mehendi designs which include Arabic scripts and bolder shapes.
What is a good design according to me?
According to me, good designs should have a special message to be conveyed to the viewers, and there should be a connection between the design and the bride’s personality or interests. The design should also depict love, happiness, purity and simplicity while being aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
A design needs to be well-planned, harmonious and consistent. According to me, Designs are made to tell people something, it doesn’t matter what!
Opinion of mine for bridal Mehendi designs
I explained how to select the perfect Mehendi design for a bride. I said that some of the key factors to be considered are as follows:
Compatibility with clothes-the bridal Mehendi design should match the theme of the bridesmaids’ dress or complement it in some way.
Religious significance-Hindu brides may want so, me intricately detailed patterns which resemble their mangalsutra or gold necklace, whereas Muslim brides may want to use some of the patterns which represent Islamic motifs.
Style preference-Depending on what kind of person the bride is and what style she likes (traditional Indian mehndi versus modern Western styles), you can pick something appropriate.
Creative instinct-This is more important than any other factor mentioned above because ultimately it is the bride who will be choosing the design. She knows herself better than anyone else so know what she wants before asking someone else!
Quick tips are given to me
I gave some important tips on how to use the bridal mehndi figures I also demonstrated in class effectively and explained that the patterns should be layered one on top of another for a richer look, rather than using them all at once on a single finger or palm. I warned against overworking your design, as this can lead to it becoming flaky and smudging easily.
Instead, I said, You want to think about where you put the time into designing. The quick tutorial helped not only give you an idea of what’s out there but also brought these designs into the here and now – with your own hands!
