Mehndi Saree Guide - What to Wear When and how to buy it Mehndi day is the easy day nobody is watching the clock the aunties are already dancing and the bride is sitting in one corner with both hands out unable to hold her own glass of chaas it is the one function where you can actually enjoy yourself instead of standing around looking presentable. Which is exactly why the outfit matters more than people think. A saree works beautifully for a mehndi but not any saree the one sitting in your cupboard from last year's reception is the wrong choice and you will figure that out around the fourth hour when your shoulder starts hurting. What makes a mehndi saree different Colour is the obvious part mehndi means green, yellow, orange, pink, peach a bit of light gold. Green is the favourite for a reason - it is the colour of the day itself and it photographs well against marigolds. Weight is the part people forget at a mehndi you sit on the floor, get up, sit again, help the bride eat, take fifty photos and dance for two hours. A saree with heavy zari across the whole body will not survive that and neither will you. A mehndi saree should be something you stop noticing after ten minutes. That is really the whole rule. Bright and light. The kinds you will actually come across Bandhani. Small tied dots, usually in green, yellow, pink or a mix. It is the most festive - looking of the lot without being heavy and it suits daytime functions particularly well. Georgette . Soft, has a nice fall, moves when you move. Probably the safest all - round choice if you plan to dance. Chiffon. Even lighter than georgette. Perfect for a hot afternoon, though it does slip, so pin it properly. Mirror work. Small mirrors that catch the light . Save it for an evening function - under sunlight it does not do much but under lights it looks great. Gota patti . Golden lace work on a plain base. Photographs very well and costs less than actual zari. Organza . A bit stiff, slightly sheer, holds its sha
