Floral mehendi designs are a constant with mehendi lovers. On the bride’s hands, floral motifs like floral bootas, buds, lotus motifs, rose motifs, geometrical floral images etc look stunning. With floral motifs, we also get to see a lot of other complementing imagery consisting of leaves, vines, birds etc. Floral motifs do not always have to be associated with nature.
Henna art is also inspired from architecture and there is no dearth of pietra dura inspired floral motifs when it comes to bridal henna. Mandala floral motifs are also very common.
