Mehendi is a traditional pre wedding ceremony before the marriage ceremony. An important tradition, it has been followed through the ages and an Indian wedding cannot be imagined without a Mehndi ceremony. It is held at the bride's house and is a private family affair. As the name implies, during this ceremony Mehndi is applied in intricate design on the hands, arm, feet and legs of the bride. Often hidden within the Mehendi pattern, is the name or initials of the groom.
The event generally has a festive feel to it with the women dancing and singing traditional songs and the girls wearing traditional outfits in vibrant shades. Salwar/Churidar suits, Anarkali/Patiala suits, traditional Lehenga Cholis in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, red, hot pink, golden, mustard, rust, etc are perfect. Outfits in georgette, silk, raw silk, crepe, chiffon etc embellished with zardosi, sequins, beads, kundans and zari embroidery make it gorgeous. Beautiful necklace sets and bangles would further complement the ensemble.
However, the bride is suggested to choose her outfit accordingly keeping in mind that her outfit should not spoil her Mehndi design. Sleeveless outfits or those featuring cap or short sleeves would be quite convenient.

Getting Into Home Tattooing For Fun

Life keeps ticking on, and I haven’t been sure how to muster up the will to keep going. No, I’m not being dramatic, I’m not thinking of anything extreme, I’m just a bit bummed. I guess you could say it’s a mid-life crisis. I’m not thinking about getting a red convertible, well, I wasn’t until I just wrote that, now I am. But it’s not the typical feelings and thoughts, at least as portrayed in the movies. And I’m certainly not on the verge of breaking down and destroying civilization as we know it. No, it’s more a deep omnipresent feeling that I can’t get out of my head, that I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing, but I’m stuck in the current path and I don’t really see what direction I should steer myself in. I decided to compromise with my brain, okay, you’re not happy, but you can take control of some things. I can at least rebel in a sense in a way that’s fairly socially acceptable. I decided to get a tattoo, but I didn’t want to just head into a parlor and get any old design on any old part of me, I wanted to do it myself. I wanted the satisfaction of not only getting a tattoo but of learning a new skill. I thought that would make me feel better. I got one of those tattoo kits and tattoo gun that comes with the rest of the necessities for home tattooing. I figured, and correctly, that that would be a heck of a lot easier than piecing together all the things I’d need by myself. It was also easy to get all the stuff, because I was referred to http://www.thelashop.com/ which just had all I needed right there. So that part was extremely easy. I haven’t yet given myself the tattoo, but I have been practicing on the practice skins and think I know what I want to do, and where. I can’t really share that with the world now, because again, I’m doing this for me.
