What to wear to a mehndi
Mehndi is the night to enjoy yourself, and the clothes should agree. This edit favours colour above all — marigold yellow, parrot green, orange, fuchsia and multi — in lighter fabrics that move: cotton net, organza, chiffon and lawn, finished with mirror work, gota, mukaish and fresh floral embroidery.
Practicalities matter more here than at any other function. You will be sitting on the floor, dancing, and quite possibly getting henna on your sleeves, so hems are manageable, dupattas are light, and nothing is so heavily worked that it becomes a burden by midnight.
