In this day and age of social media, finding designs and styles you like is a snap (or an Instagram or a Pinterest) away. Do you prefer bold but airy Arabic style designs? Traditional Indian bridal with its teeny tiny lines? Geometric Moroccan? Maybe a fusion of a few different styles? Start paying attention to what grabs you, and also to what doesn’t float your boat. Being able to convey this to your artist will be a big help in getting your dream mehendi designs and which looks beautiful on your mehndi dress. You can go for KalkiFashion which matches your mehendi day.

Portfolio

Most professional artists will have a substantial body of work available to view online. If you’re dead set on a certain style or motif, try to find an artist whose work showcases those elements. In the same way, you wouldn’t go to an ear doctor for an eye problem, you wouldn’t want to choose an artist who specialises in very dense, intricate designs to get big, bold, open work done. Look for an artist who fits your vision. The photographer is main for your mehendi albums Knotty Days can give an attractive look for your mehendi day.

Book early

Once you’ve found some potential candidates to do your mehendi, contact them as early as possible. Popular artists’ schedules tend to fill up very quickly, sometimes a year or two in advance. Once you know your wedding date, your artist can help you figure out which day the bridal mehendi should be done, usually 2-3 days in advance of the ceremony.

Show the artist examples of designs you like

A great way to make sure you and the artist are on the same page and would be a good fit for each other is to send them a few examples of what you have in mind. Nobody will expect you to know exactly what you want so far in advance, but getting a general feel for what you like and how much coverage you prefer will go a long way in helping your artist meet and (hopefully) exceed your expectations.

Find out how the artist’s pricing works

Getting the fees settled and locked in early on will help you to stick to your wedding budget without unexpected surprises on your appointment day. Some artists have bridal “packages”, in which they offer a set level of coverage and detail for a fixed price. Others prefer to consult with you about your needs in order to give you a quote. Very few artists would be willing to haggle or bargain on their rates. Professional mehendi artists spend many years honing their craft and care enough to use quality materials and take enormous pride in what they do. The old adage holds true here: you get what you pay for.

Aftercare

Your artist will be very happy to provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve optimal stain results. Reviewing the instructions ahead of time will help you select the outfit you want to wear for your appointment, and also to figure out what time of day to get started. Some artists will recommend you sleep with your mehendi on. Knowing what to expect ahead of time will help to alleviate some of the planning stresses.
