Best Friend's Wedding! Henna + Make-up!

[hr44]

Sooo my girl's wedding was last weekend and it was a BLAST!

I'm posting pics of the makeup I did in here because with all the commotion I honestly don't remember what was used. It was pick this and just do it!

I ended up doing her reception make-up as well! It was alot of fun!
I honestly wish I knew what I used. It might come back to me.

OOOhhh OOOHH and our henna work was off the hook! The woman did an amazing job!


Kay pics time! ENJOY!!!

It looks a bit like Henna Spirit's work. I miss her posts on Specktra. Anyway the henna looks really pretty and looks like you had a fun time.

Great pics! You all look beautiful, and they took happy together.

Thanks guys!
Yea the mehndi girl did a fantastic job and every piece she did on the girls was fantastic. You would think after the 7th girl the style would get blah or she'd be tired...but NOOOO beautiful looks kept going!
Plus great prices.
My hands (the pics you see) was $15 bucks. I was a happy camper.

Oh man, I can't fully remember her name... it was Neetha or Nina, I'll have to ask my mom. She's in the downtown area of Sac. She owns a restaurant also. (My mom and best friend went to eat there and it was super good they said but it's currently under renovation right now) She's not persian, probably Pak. I'm not sure. All I know is she is super nice.

Now it's just an extra way to beautify oneself during the wedding but there is this thing that the darker the mehndi (henna) turns out on the hands and feet then the more the in-laws will love the girl, especially the mother-in-law. It's an old tradition way of marriage and it's a sign of good luck and prosperity the darker the henna turns out. Also back then the girl wouldn't do any housework till the henna came off.

Now it's just tradition to have it on elaborately for the wedding.
