Mehndi on Events (History)
Mehendi designs have traditionally fallen into four different styles. The Middle Eastern style is mostly made up of floral patterns similar to the Arabic textiles, paintings and carvings and do not usually follow a pattern destinctive. Finally, the Indonesian and Southern Asian styles were a mix of Middle Eastern and Indian designs using blocks of color on the tips of their toes and fingers. All of these styles remain popular today but are also combined in popularity by Celtic designs and Chinese symbols. The point once again to have fun with designs and experiment with them until you have something you feel really passionate about. |

The henna used for Mehendi comes from a shrub called Lawsonia inermis which is part of the single family and a growing struggle in Sudan, Egypt, India, the largest part of the North African countries, the Middle East and other hot and dry places. The bush is also grown in Florida and California for his ornamental appearance and often grows to very large, ranging from six to twenty feet in some cases. |
