Candid Wedding Stories
1. Get Your Day, Date and Time ETCHED onto the Mehendi Artists’ Schedule!
This one is important to avoid any last minute hassles. We suggest you go for an artist who is free the entire day, on the day of your mehendi ceremony!
2. Get a Thorough Look at their Portfolio!
This one’s as important as anything else. Check out the designs that this artist has delivered in the past and talk to them about how they could go about this, whether they’d suggest any changes and so on. You’ll get an insight into their aesthetic sense as well!
3. Check Out their Credentials!
Regular mehndi designs are quite simple and don’t warrant a lot of skill, but when it comes to bridal mehendi designs, they need some intricate handiwork to stand out. Ensure the artist has worked with brides before!

4. Talk About the Dough!
You don’t want to be stuck in an ugly situation post the ceremony, so ensure that you talk about the charges prior to booking the artist.
5. Examine the Quality of Dye!
Yep, you don’t want to end up with rashes all over your body a few days before your big day! So ensure that your artist uses safe dye- organic is best, we say.
6. Talk About Overhead Charges!
Get a good idea about the size of the team, and how many people they can cover. You should have a fair idea of how many of your relatives will be getting their hands dyed, so quote a number roughly higher than that.

7. Ask About Any Special Requirements!
This one matters, believe us when we say so! Makes sure the team does not require you to detract from your regular path to make their work comfortable. If they require transport and other facilities, talk about an agreement that suits you both.
