Stress-Free Guide to Booking Your Dream Bridal Mehndi Artist

Updated: Oct 29

Step 1: Start Early and Budget Wisely


Why It Matters: Top mehndi artists are often booked months in advance, so planning is key to securing your ideal artist.


Action Plan:


  • Timing: Begin your search at least 6–12 months before your wedding day.

  • Budgeting: Determine your budget for mehndi services, ranging from £300 to £500 or more depending on the artist and location.

  • Extras: If your artist isn’t local, include travel and accommodation costs in your budget.


✨ Pro Tip: Save your favourite artists on Instagram so you can quickly access their profiles when it’s time to book.

Action Plan:


  • Research Online: Use hashtags like BridalMehndi and LuxuryHenna to discover artists who match your vision.

  • Check Quality: Look for crisp, symmetrical designs and bold stains in their portfolios.
