Latest Mehndi Collection
The art of Mehendi has existed for centuries. The exact place of its origin is difficult to track because of centuries of people in different cultures moving through the continents and taking their art forms with them and therefore sharing their art with everyone along the way.Mehndi is the application of Henna as a temporary form of skin decoration in South Asia, the Southwest Asia, North Africa and the Horn of Africa, as well as by expatriate communities from these areas. Its the part of Bridal Makeup in Pakistan & India.
Some historical evidence suggests that Mehndi started in India while others believe it was introduced to India during the twelfth century A.D.No Pakistani wedding is ever complete without the Mehendi. Whichever part of the country the bride may be from, her hands are adorned with the lovely red hue of the mehendi (mehndi).
Mehndi has broken free of the traditional wedding,Eid days and is being applied for a Valentines Day bash , a formal party or even an evening at a disco. In its new avatar, mehndi has been elevated to the status of body art and a fashion accessory for the fashion-conscious youngsters.
Here you find variety of mehndi styles and lots more…
Beauty parlors have special bridal mehendi packs - these days, the brides have a choice between the Pakistani mehendi (which covers pretty much most of the palm) and the Arabic mehendi (in which the pattern is drawn to one side of the hand). The cost of applying the mehendi may vary from parlor to parlor.

bridal dresses and jewllery
.
The bridal dress cannot be designed and created by just about anybody. There are designers who specialize in bridal dresses. Apart from the wedding day dresses, they also design for all other occasions that are a part of the wedding; such as the engagement, and other special events. Every bride has the special glow and aura about her. So no matter what she wears, She just look like a bride. Yet the timeless white laced flowing gown with a net veil and headgear is what every women sees herself wearing.
But today even that is taken care of with designers creating exquisite bridal dresses from a range of sky rocketing prices to cheaper ones. The difference between the two depends upon the material used, keeping the designs similar. So when out there searching for your bridal dress, don’t worry about the price, choose what you want and there will be a designer who will fulfill your bridal dreams.~

Mehndi designz!
No Pakistani wedding is ever complete without the Mehendi. Whichever part of the country the bride may be from, her hands are adorned with the lovely red hue of the mehendi (mehndi). Beauty parlors have special bridal mehendi packs - these days, the brides have a choice between the Pakistani mehendi (which covers pretty much most of the palm) and the Arabic mehendi (in which the pattern is drawn to one side of the hand). The cost of applying the mehendi may vary from parlor to parlor. Mehendi (Mehndi) is associated to lots of things - a good dark design is a sign of good luck for the marital couple. It is common for the names of the bride and groom to be hidden in the mehndi design; and the wedding night cannot commence until the groom has found the names. Some examples of popular traditional images used in mehndi designs are the peacock, which is the national bird if India, the lotus flower, and an elephant with a raised trunk, which is a symbol of good luck. From adorning brides' hands, to being used to make hip tattoos on arms and bellies, Mehendi / Mehndi or Henna has gone international. Once a typically Pakistani custom and an indispensable part of a brides makeup, Mehendi has gone cosmopolitan thanks to the attention it gets through stars like Madonna, No Doubt and Bjork.
