Mehendi art is a bridal must and all of us want the best for our wedding, be it our wedding lehenga or a simple Henna Mehendi design on hands.

Your fingers get the most attention, be it any occasion as they are always exposed so it's important to dress them right. The Mehendi designs which come in books are quite pretty but I have observed that the finger designs are always the boring and same. So I got myself searching for new and unique finger Mehendi designs which will give your fingers that extra drama.

I found that there are unlimited choices for finger Mehendi art in the internet. I have done all the hunting down for you and chosen the ten very best designs. You can pair these designs with suitable palm designs to dress your hands in the best way possible.

Have a look:

• 1

This ring style mehendi design is very chic and suitable for ethnic outfits with a western blend. There's so much volume in this design that there's no need for applying mehendi on the back of tyour hand. Just this finger design will give a statement look.

• 2

Another ring design. This one is more on the ethnic side which speaks elegance. My first thought on seeing this design was 'Sabyasachi'! This design will look fab if you will be wearing a gota patti lehenga on your wedding/special occasion.

• 3

Another pretty design which will beautify your fingers. This design will look best when paired with a single signature cocktail ring.

• 4

Another WOW design! This is an Arabic design which is quite different and unique from all the designs listed here. This will go great with both western and ethnic outfits.

• 5

This design is on the thicker side which will stay longer on your fingers and look gorgeous with ethnic outfits.

•  6

This design is very simple yet very beautiful. Love the leaves and simple lines at the tips! This design is best if you are wearing a lot of rings!

• 7

This is one design which truly steals the show! I have tried this and it is not at all as hard as it looks. Brides who are not too found of applying Mehendi or those who want a really signature look can opt for this design. Ensure that you don't apply Mehendi anywhere else(palm or down) This will surely give you a show stopper look.

This simple design is elegant in its own way. Opt for this if you are skipping applying Mehendi on the backside or if you want to draw eyes to your nail art! :D

• 9

This is my another favourite! The intricate ring art on just one finger is what makes this design stand out. It'll give your fingers a royal look. LOVE IT! ^_^

• 10

This design is perfect for starters as it is quite easy and looks quite elegant too! :)

So these are the best Finger Mehendi henna designs which will make a statement. 1,2,7 and 9 are my personal favorites. What about you? Do share!

Best Bridal Lehenga Inspiration this is!

Nargiz made a fashion statement at the TOIFA, Times Of India Film Awards, wearing this gorgeous Pink and peach, heavily embellished lehenga. It is a perfect for the wedding or reception.

The phone you use says a lot about your style and I believe a stylish phone is the best accessory to complete any outfit, Bridal or not, so it is important to choose the right phone.

Go for Jacket or cape ensembles : Jackets and capes with ethnic wear are the latest trend and the best time to rock it is in winter . Pair a long jacket with your saree or a short phulkari jacket with your anarkali. Even your sarees can be layered up with a classy phulkari jackets to give you a layered regal look. Capes can be a tricky deal but who doesnt want to follow the latest trends? Skip the sheer capes and opt for embellished ones to go with your outfits. Floor length capes are also a big thing these days, try some color blocking with silk capes for a comfortable and trendy ethnic look.
Ridhi Mehra showcased cape jumpsuits recently and these could be great options for a winter wedding
Shawl it up! : Shawls today arent restricted to grandmothers!  Velvet shawls in contrasting colours with embroidery or kundan embellishments are best way to grab eye balls and stay warm too .  Take inspiraion from Anushka sharma who wore this mint suit with a red velvet dupatta to a wedding . You can even use a kanjeevaram silk dupatta like a shawl and add to your outfit for some warmth.

Indian bridal wear

Play with hemlines:  High necks and covering up means you cant experiment much with your  necklines in winter so to add a slight edge to your outfit experiment with hemlines. Go for asymmetrical hemline anarkalis, high low salwars kammez or ruffled lehengas and peplum blouses.

Indian bridal wear

Opt for Jutis: When it comes to footwear avoid open toe heels and bring out your traditional warm embellished juttis which will keep you warm while blending in with your ethnic look. You can even go in for booties to keep yourself warm if you are sure they wont show up too much under your floor length lehenga.

Indian bridal wear

Thermal leggings or camisoles: If it very cold you can wear thermal leggings under your lehengas to keep you warm but make sure these are of 3/4 th length so they don't show up . If your top isn't deep cut add a thermal camisole too .

I hope this post helps you style up for a winter wedding , please do leave your comments if you need help implementing any of the above ideas

Masaba Gupta's wedding

Famous Indian based designer Masaba Gupta tied the knot with Film producer Madhu Mantena officially a few months back and chose this month to celebrate the same with close family and friends. The celebrations kicked off a a friends place in JUhu and lasted for three day.Her outfits she sported at her wedding, reception, Mehendi , bridal shower and sangeet came as a surprise. She wore the most weird looking clothes to her wedding celebrations. We all know she is a designer but that doesn’t mean you dress up in lackluster clothes. Most of the outfits she chose to be spotted in were shouting ‘ JUST FOR THE RAMP’, which made me think if she broke up wit her BFF , I mean if all goes wrong there is always your bestie who would point out what is wrong and weddings are something were your friends advice you the most.
She  is youthful quirky apparel designer and selecting the same quirky clothes to wear on her wedding was a bad decision from the start. Congratulations to the newly wed but I do wish Masaba had chosen for bridal clothing instead of trying to look different on her own wedding. Many other celebrities in attendance to the wedding celebrations wore better clothes than the bride and bridegroom!
Masaba in Anamika Khanna - Wedding Reception Outfit

Masaba Gupta reception

I love Anamika Khanna outfits but Masaba choose this hideous outfit from all those pretty Anamika Khanna designs for her reception! Everything about the look is wrong, the hair the bust fit , the jacket is worst !
And not the bridegroom won’t be spared either! He should have put in a little extra effort to look good on a reception. Black on black looks dull and its an outfit my brother would have chosen to wear at a family function , forget a  reception !

Masaba Gupta In her Own Designs – Bridal Shower Outfit

The outfit looked more of a party look than a bridal shower one. The polka dotted top with a retro effect was a downer itself and the pants look boxy on her. A total nay from us !
Masaba in Sanjay Garg – Sangeet Outift

Masaba Gupta sangeet

The only outfit I found pretty was the one she donned on her Sangeet, maybe it’s the color, it looks pretty on her. The hairstyle could have been better but there is no doubt this is dream outfit for many .
Masaba Gupta in Her own designs- Mehendi Outfit

We would have preferred some color for a mehendi outing . The white kurti along with the matchy sharara (or is that a lehenga?) just don’t work here. But it is a nice outfit considering the other disastrous outfits she chose to wear.
What do you think of her clothes, are they fit for a bride ? Yay or a nay? tell us!
Until next time
Love
