Henna Celebration!
Dress Code

Indian or western festive formal - fun, bright colors are recommended!

Description

Mehndi, otherwise known as henna, is a paste associated with positive spirits and good luck. Indian Wedding tradition calls for a Mehndi ceremony to be held the night before the wedding as a way of wishing the bride good health and prosperity as she makes her journey on to marriage. The Mehndi Ceremony is organized by the Bride’s family bringing together the female components of each side.

While Mehndi is mainly for females, male relatives are invited to join in on the party that comes after the Bride has completed her henna. The core significance of applying Mehndi is to utilize its natural medicinal herbal remedies, cooling the body and relieving the Bride of any stress before her big day. Henna is applied to both the hands and the feet as a means of cooling the nerve-endings of the body, preventing the nerves from tensing up.

Traditionally, on the day of marriage in the morning before muhurtham (the ceremony), the groom’s family arrive at the bride’s village but do not enter the bride’s home. The mappillai veetar (groom’s side) arrive and wait at some Pillayar (Ganesha) temple or community canters where the pen veetar (bride’s side) headed by bride’s father go to welcome them with band.
