How much does bridal mehndi cost in India?

It depends on the city, the artist, how much of the hands and feet you want covered and how detailed the design is. Guest mehndi is usually priced per hand or per person. Ask each artist for a quote for the same plan.

How long does bridal mehndi take?

Full bridal mehndi on hands and feet can take several hours, and the colour keeps darkening for a day or two afterwards.

Is natural henna safer?

Yes. Natural henna stains orange to deep brown. Instant "black" mehndi can contain chemicals that irritate the skin, so ask the artist what they use.

Why do so many cards link to Instagram?

Many mehndi artists work only on Instagram. We still list them, with a link to their own profile.

Are these paid listings?

No. The list is free for couples and for vendors: we collect it from each business's own website, check it every day and rank no one for money. A business can correct or remove its listing at any time.

Finding a mehndi artist near you

Most mehndi artists come to your home or venue, so an artist based in your own city or area is the easiest to book and usually charges less for travel. Use the City filter or the city photos above, then the Services filter for "Travels to venue". Many artists work only from Instagram; their cards say "View on Instagram" and open their own profile.

Mehndi styles

Rajasthani and Marwari: dense, fine traditional work, often with figures and motifs, and full coverage for brides.
Arabic: bold, flowing patterns with open skin between them; quick to apply and popular for guests.
Indo-Arabic: a mix of the two, with detail but a lighter look.
Guest mehndi: simpler designs for family and friends, usually priced per hand or per person.

Before you book

Ask for natural henna mixed fresh, and avoid instant "black" mehndi, which can contain harsh chemicals.
Check what the bridal price covers: hands only, or hands and feet, and up to where.
Book early for the wedding season and for festivals such as Karva Chauth and Teej.
Plan the bridal mehndi a day or two before the wedding so the colour has time to darken.
