A beautiful Indian tradition is the art of Mehndhi. This 5000 year old tradition is painless and the art can last from several days or as long as a month. This tradition began for less fortunate brides to wear in place of fine jewelry. Indian brides have a Mehndhi party the night before the wedding {girls only!} where the feet and hands of the bride are adorned. The designs are reddish-brown and fine lines (lacy or floral). The peacock is often incorporated (India's national bird), the lotus flower (India's national flower), and an elephant with a raised trunk (symbol of good luck).

Bohemian Rhapsody
The beautiful outdoors! The natural look of baby pinks and greens is calming. Pick an outdoor spot for the ceremony and use bohemian themed favors for a pulled-together masterpiece. Peace. Love. Happiness.
