Maiyan Ceremony
The main focus of the event is the application of haldi paste (a paste made from tumeric, and mustard oil), to the bride and groom's body, to give a glow to the couple before their big day.
Although not traditional, Nyki & Nav will be celebrating these moments together and we hope you care to join as well!

Mehndi Ceremony
Mehndi or as most americans know as henna used to be traditionally applied by someone happily married from the bride's inner circle of friends and family. It was believed that with each swirl of mehndi paste on the skin, that the bride would be blessed with good energy. During this ceremony, girl friends and family of the bride along with the bride herself add designs prior to the wedding day.

WHAT TO WEAR:
The Haldi paste can be messy! Although there is no requirement for what to wear, make sure you are equipped with something you don't mind getting stained by tumeric & oil! Please wear yellow or mustard.
If you choose, you are welcome to go home and change into something light or baby blue in between the Maiyan and Mehndi.
The women that attend will have the option to get mehndi applied to their hands too. If you are allergic to henna paste, we will have other options so you can still participate in the fun!
