Nikkah is the religious ceremony required by Islamic law to unite a Muslim man and woman in holy matrimony.
The requested colors for the Nikkah are light colors or pastels, light pink, or lilac. The traditional Dholki/Mayoun colors are bright colors like yellow, orange, or green as are the traditional colors for the Mehndi.
A mehndi party is a pre-wedding South Asian, and sometimes Arab, celebration where the bride's hands and feet are adorned with intricate, temporary henna designs, symbolizing good luck, love, and joy. These festive events involve music, dancing, food, and performances, creating a joyful atmosphere that marks the bride's transition into married life. Guests, especially women, also receive smaller henna applications and wear vibrant clothing to participate in the celebration.
