65 Full Hand Mehndi Designs 2023 || Modern, Wedding and Elegant - Wedding Booking (2023)

Minimalism in bridal looks is not one of the strong suits of Indian brides. Brides want to wear lehengas, heavy jewelry and beautiful mehndi designs. While some celebrities and young real-life brides are changing the game by bringing minimalism to their wedding looks, it's not always reflected in all of their creations. Let's take Alia Bhatt's wedding look as an example. Though she uses organza sarees and minimal makeup for a minimalist look (just to let you know that no makeup is more effort than a full face, so don't think an easy, natural look means less effort) , she chose an oversized necklace set and a large piece of wool jewelry for her jewellery. She also adorned her arms with a series of polka bracelets that were a departure from the minimalist style of the rest of her wedding look.

The thing is, if you're an Indian bride, it's hard to escape minimalism. If you want to practice maximalism with full hand mehndi, here are 55 full hand mehndi designs for your collection and get inspired!

#1 Start with this beautiful 3D mehendi design that is both traditional and modern. 3-D has been a huge henna trend and one of the best ways to add a stylish twist to traditional henna designs. This one is perfect for the bride or bridesmaid, or even the mother of the bride. As you can see, there are no figures or heavy elements in this henna. Only the clever combination of lines, geometric shapes and paisley patterns make this design truly attractive.

#2 Don't like the simple Choodi mehndi style? Then try this diagonal wrist mehndi that goes all the way to the elbow. The best part is that you can easily reduce the length of your project by choosing to skip the last jaal split. This does not change the beauty of the henna and gives the whole project the same charm. Again, there are no graphic or tricky elements in this design, which is great if you want to get your henna done quickly and still want it to look pretty.
