How early should we book a mehndi artist?

For a wedding in the busy season, as soon as your date is fixed. Festival days such as Karva Chauth and Teej also fill up early.

How long does bridal mehndi take to darken?

Natural henna starts orange and darkens over the next day or two. Keep the paste on for several hours and keep the hands away from water at first.

Do mehndi artists come to our home?

Most do. Use the Services filter for "Travels to venue".

Are these paid listings?

No. The list is free for couples and artists, and each listing links to the artist's own website or Instagram.

Booking a bridal mehndi artist in Chennai

Full bridal mehndi on hands and feet takes several hours, so most brides have it one or two days before the wedding, which gives the colour time to darken. Book early for the busy wedding months, and tell the artist how many guests also want mehndi so they bring enough helpers.

Mehndi styles

Arabic: bold, flowing patterns with open skin between them; quicker to apply.
Rajasthani and Marwari: dense, fine traditional work, often with figures and motifs that tell a story.
Indo-Arabic: a mix of the two, popular for brides who want detail without full coverage.

What to ask the artist

Do you use natural henna you mix yourself? Avoid instant "black" mehndi, which can contain harsh chemicals.
What is included in the bridal price: hands only, or hands and feet?
How much is guest mehndi, and how many artists will come?
Do you travel to our home or venue, and what is the travel charge?
