Mehendi Sarees in Mehndi Colour and Green for Brides and Guests

Mehendi Sarees in Mehndi Colour and Green

Mehndi colour is the olive and leaf green of fresh henna paste, and in many families green is the colour of the mehendi day. Our mehendi sarees for women run from mint and lime to olive and dark olive green, in handwoven mul cotton for the afternoon function, floral chiffon and pure chiffon for guests, and gold sequin or mukaish pure chiffon for the bride. Every saree is 5.5 m long and 45 inches wide. Below are the pieces we would start with, what comes with each, and how to look after them.

Mehndi Colour Cotton Sarees for the Day Function

A mehendi often means hours of sitting while the henna dries, so light cotton earns its place. Olive Oasis is a plain green mul cotton, the simplest way into mehndi colour and easy to pair with floral jewellery. Pink Guava is a green mul cotton with a pink border, and Salt Air is seafoam white with a lime border, for a lighter look in the afternoon sun. All three are handwoven, come without a blouse piece and take a gentle cold hand wash.

For a little more detail, Anthuria is a mint green mul cotton with a hand painted floral design, and the striped Emerald is a green mul cotton with stripes and zari that catches the light in photographs. Both come without a blouse piece and should be dry cleaned. More plain and striped greens sit in our green cotton sarees.

Green Floral Sarees for Mehendi Guests

Florals suit a daytime mehendi in a garden or on a terrace. Orelia is a green floral print pure chiffon, and Zyra is a lime green floral print pure chiffon. Vintage Aqua is a green floral printed chiffon with hand embroidery, and Vintage Green is a green and pink floral printed chiffon with hand embroidered sequins. Each comes with a 1 m crepe blouse piece and should be dry cleaned. Chiffon is sheer, so match the petticoat to the saree where you can; if you have no match, nude usually shows less than white. More prints sit in our floral sarees.

Mehendi Sarees for the Bride

Many brides choose something lighter than a lehenga for their own mehendi, with enough shine for the evening photographs. Emerald (gold sequin) is a green pure chiffon with hand embroidered gold sequin roses, and Diva is an olive green pure chiffon with mukaish work. Both come with a 1 m crepe blouse piece and should be dry cleaned. For the rest of the week, see our wedding sarees, from the sangeet to the reception.

When Mehendi and Haldi Share a Day

In many families the mehendi and haldi fall on the same day, and yellow sits happily beside green. Sunkissed is a yellow mul cotton with lotus motifs and touches of red and green, with no blouse piece. Liora is a yellow floral print pure chiffon with a 1 m crepe blouse piece. Both should be dry cleaned. For the full yellow range, see our haldi sarees and yellow sarees.
