Mehndi ceremony • Documenting

Indian weddings are such a journey. Long days of preparation, generally a week of ceremonies and events, plenty of colorful suits and dishes, and much more. 

On her journey to her marriage, one of the first ceremony for the bride is the mehndi rassam / henna ceremony.

As following the traditions, according to what our parents, grand-parents and ancestors used to do back in the motherland, we continue, here, the rassam. Being auspicious, just as a way to wish her prosperity and luck for her new life.
