mehndi

My husband Josh was born in Pakistan and moved to the U.S. when he was about 4. It was super important to us that we do a traditional Pakistani celebration the day before the wedding. The Mehndi is super bright and colorful and full of food and dancing. The word “Mehndi” means “henna” which is the red-orange stain that is applied to the bride’s hands in an intricate design. This celebration is purely a fun party to honor the bride and groom and the families coming together. To see both of our families and all of our friends dressed up in traditional clothing + dancing to Desi music was incredibly special. It was the most beautiful way to kick off our wedding weekend.
