The Mehendi ceremony is all about vibrant color, relaxed fun, and personal expression. In 2025, brides are going for floral-printed lehengas, mirror-work shararas, and jacket-style capes in cotton silk, organza, and crepe. The focus is on comfort, movement, and creativity for a day spent dancing and lounging during henna application. Look for bold, oversized flower patterns, ruffles, and playful layers; pair with delicate gota jewelry, mango-shaped earrings, and real flower accessories for the classic Mehendi vibe.

Grooms are breaking the monotony with sherwanis and kurtas in peach, pistachio green, mint, and lavender—colors that pop against outdoor décor and lush garden backgrounds. Embellished Nehru jackets, printed stoles, and embroidered mojris complete the Mehendi look for men, many now choosing to coordinate with their bride’s outfit for picture-perfect couple moments. For guests: go for easy separates like dhoti pants and short kurtas, crop-top skirts, or mix-and-match Indo-Western pieces that feel festive yet effortless.

Pro Tip: Opt for breathable, natural fabrics and avoid heavy layering. Accessories like floral crowns, boho rings, and embroidered juttis are chic, practical, and photogenic—ideal for a long, fun-filled Mehendi afternoon.
