Arabic mehndi designs, now a popular body art across the globe, find their roots in the love of brides from Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Oman and other Arab nations. These dark hued and intricate henna designs used to be a preferred choice for bridesmaids and a design for guests during the mehndi night, but now have become a mainstream design for the bride-to-be. The traditional Indian mehndi designs now have a counterpart and that too a big competitor in the Arabic mehndi designs.
The beauty of Arabic designs is that they are scattered and give a striking look to the mehndi. Without filling up an entire hand, Arabic designs stand out unlike any other mehndi designs. Arabic mehndi designs are unique in the sense that they can give mehndi a three-dimensional look. Also, Arabic mehndi designs are bolder and darker, and enhance the beauty of henna application if you are trying floral detailing or geometric shapes.
