Is going to an Indian Destination wedding on your bucket list? Well, if you get the chance to go here are some tips to keep in mind. Save this post for the future!
🌿 Henna Etiquette for Guests at Indian Weddings ❤️
💚 Guests usually receive simple designs on the hands. Avoid requesting full-arm or overly detailed work unless it’s clearly offered.
💚 Be mindful of timing and space.
If there’s a designated time or space for guests to get henna, follow the schedule and avoid crowding the artist.
💚 Don’t ask the artist to stay longer once they’re done.
Henna artists are often booked for a set time or number of guests. If they’ve completed their work and are packing up, respect their schedule and avoid asking for “just one more” design.
💚 Keep your hands still and give it time to dry.
Smudged henna creates more work for the artist and won’t give you the best result. Allow the paste to dry before touching anything.
💚 Ask before taking photos or videos of the artist’s work.
It’s always respectful to ask permission, especially if you plan to share on social media. Tag the artist if you post—it’s a great way to support them!
💚 Appreciate the cultural meaning.
Henna isn’t just for looks—it holds deep significance in Indian weddings, symbolizing love, beauty, and blessings. Embrace the tradition with curiosity and respect.
💚 Tip the artist if appropriate.
Unless the host tells you otherwise, it’s a kind gesture to tip the henna artist, especially if they’re working long hours or doing guest designs for free.
