It is well known that Mehndi is sometimes thought of as a sign of wedlock and marriage. Women adorn their hands with mehndi for days after their wedding. It is believed that the color of a women’s henna symbolizes the love in her marriage. If the color begins to fade, many elder women begin to worry as it is considered a bad omen. Bridal mehndi designs are much larger and grand compared to the henna designs worn by young girls on special occasions.
