Henna ceremony

The henna ceremony, henna night (Arabic: ليلة الحناء), or mehndi night (also henna party or mehndi party) is an element of wedding ceremony in many cultures influenced by the Arabic culture. Details vary, but its common, defining ritual is decorating a bride's arms and feet with artwork using henna (known as mehndi in the Indian subcontinent). The name "henna night" refers to the fact that in most cultures, it happens on the last night before the wedding day.
