Mehendi Entrance Ideas for Brides Is A Thing Now!

Have you noticed how Bridal Entry is a big thing at weddings now? From how the bride enters (some choose to dance their way into the venue!) to which song gets played (Din Shagna Da is not your only option), it’s a part of the wedding that’s getting a lot of attention.

Which is why some brides figured – why not make the entry to their Mehendi ceremony interesting as well?

Here are some creative Mehendi Entrance Ideas for Brides from Real Weddings – for your own Mehendi function!

1. Enter under an umbrella

Umbrella phoolon ki chaadar…or should we call it “phoolon ka chhata!” is no longer limited to destination weddings in Thailand. You can ask your brother to hold a pretty one like this over your head as you walk into your Mehendi venue!

2. Dance with Dholkis

This is another umbrella bridal entry (don’t miss how beautiful this phoolon ki chaadar is!) where the bride chose to dance to the beats of the dhols!

3. Phoolon Ki Chadar Coordinated With Your Outfit

The decorator does, typically, match your phoolon ki chaadar design to your overall event decor. But this bride entered under a chaadar that had blue flowers hanging at the ends, highlighting her unique blue mehendi lehenga!

4. Mehendi-Themed Unique Phoolon Ki Chadar Design

5. Walking With Wedding Party in Coordinated Outfits

If your bridesmaids are going to be in coordinated outfits, you can ask them to walk behind you in a line like this. A “flower boy” or flower girl can throw rose petals in front of you. It will make for a picture-perfect Mehendi entrance!

Are you planning for a fun Mehendi bridal entry as well?
