Althoughhenna parties have certain traditions in the Arab world that many brides want to celebrate, choosing the perfect henna tattoo design is not always easy. While some Arab brides like the idea of an elaborate traditional henna design, others prefer a simple henna design for their wedding day.
If you want a simple henna design or easy henna designs for your wedding, you can choose to have it anywhere you want, from your shoulder to your feet. Some brides choose nature-inspired designs, such as a butterfly, on the hand or finger; check out this: Fingertip Henna Ideas for The Bride. You can also check out these best tattoo drawing apps to get an idea of different henna designs. In addition, some brides opt for a simple and elegant mandala design or a heart shape on their wrist.
To start off, we first start with the bulb of the lotus (centre).
Draw a circle with a slight protrusion at the tip of the circle, before drawing ovals extending in an outwards arc.
Thereafter, we follow up with 5 big petals that represent the petals of the lotus flower. You may add some shading at the base of the petal by using the tip of the henna tube to scrape some ink outwards towards the tip of the petal.
As for the pinky, we used an arrowhead variation for the arc whereas for the thumb, we removed the tip instead.
Last but not least, for the index finger, we draw two arcs across the index finger, followed by dots along the arcs.
Start off with 2 ascending diagonal lines across your middle finger and 3 descending diagonal lines across the index finger.
For the index finger, follow up with a row of minor arcs, followed by a row of Roman-shaped arcs.
Fill up the Roman-shaped arcs with henna. (in the semi-circle empty space)
Connect an outward spiral from the row of Roman-shaped arcs and follow up with a row of minor arcs and Roman-shaped arcs.
Repeat this pattern twice at varying distances and end off with 5 henna droplets extending outwards. Include a dot above each droplet for extra appeal.
For the middle finger, we continue with 2 dotted lines, each parallel to the ends of the previously drawn ascending diagonal lines.
Repeat this pattern along the middle finger (upwards), but replace the dotted lines with minor arcs instead.
As for the pinky, we start with two ascending diagonal lines and follow up with a dotted line underneath it.
Proceed by adding in another ascending diagonal line parallel to the dotted line and follow up with circular arcs (onion bulb shaped).
Repeat the set of onion bulb shaped circular arcs twice at varying distance from one another and add in leaves for more aesthetics.
Repeat this water droplet pattern but replace the inner layers with outward spiral and Roman-shaped arcs.
Feel free to let your imagination run wild and create your own variations.
We follow up with a dotted arc and add in leaves for extra aesthetic appeal.
Firstly, start with 2 arrowheads, leading from both ends of the wrist and connect along the middle metacarpal (middle finger bone). Populate the top arrowhead with Roman-shaped arcs (along its length).
For the bottom arrowhead, use curly lines to pull off the symmetrical intricate design and end with 3 droplets arcing in various directions at the base.
Next, connect 2 swirls in opposite directions from the tip of the top arrowhead, followed by adding in an inverted droplet above the swirl. Include 2 dots of varying thickness in the center, and follow up with a water droplet shaped symbol on top of this pattern.
For the droplet on top, we replace the dots with a mini droplet instead.
Following that, we added 2 dots at the side and darkened the inner water droplet.
Thereafter, we included 3 water droplets spaced out in varying directions, arching out from between the middle water droplet and the swirl.
Repeat this process for both sides, while doing your best to maintain the symmetrical feel.
For the index finger, we use the finger nail as a reference point.
Draw four dots in a diamond shape, in between 2 water droplets (both in different directions).
Next, for the ring finger (using the same reference point), we added an inverted water droplet, followed by three descending dots.
As for the middle finger, we start with 2 dots at the Distal Phalanx (area below the fingernail), followed by 4 dots in a diamond shaped at the Intermediate Phalanx (area above the finger joint) and end off with an inverted arrowhead at the Proximal Phalanx. (area between the knuckle and the finger joint)
Add in Roman-shaped arcs for the base of the arrowhead and 2 swirls connecting towards the center.
End off with an inverted water droplet leading to the knuckle.
To get started with this design, we first start with the ring finger. Draw 2 arcs below the finger joint and follow up with inverted Roman-shaped arcs along the length of the lower arc.
From the utmost left of the Roman-shaped arc, draw 3 different designs leading to the ring finger bone.
In this case, we draw a swirl, a line and a wave shaped arc.
Connect a dotted line that extends from the middle design towards the knuckle and end with a diamond nicely located on top of the knuckle.
Add in a dot in the middle of the diamond, and extend a leaf shaped pattern below the diamond.
Include another leaf shaped symbol on the inside and vary the thickness accordingly.
Next, for the innermost layer, we included droplet shaped arcs to give it an abstract outlook.
Using the dot and the base of the leaf as reference points, connect the 2 points together with drooping arcs of varying thickness. This gives the design a chain effect, just like that of a jewellery.
From the base of the leaf, we extend another drooping arc towards the left to complement the design.
Do take note to avoid symmetry when drawing the chains as we want to give it a natural flow.
Next, to add an extra hint of abstract realism, we add in dots of varying thickness across all 3 chains and end with a line extending from the leftmost chain downwards, towards the wrist. Do remember to stagger the dots accordingly.
Every Mandala has a center point from which the design expands out in a radial symmetry. Many Henna artists believe that drawing a Mandala connects them spiritually to the universe and brings inner peace and balance to their lives.
This design was inspired by flowers and floral art, blossoming in a symmetrical pattern.
To start off with the Floral Henna Mandala, we first draw an outward spiral at the back of the hand. We then follow up with parabolic arcs around the circumference of the spiral.
Next, choose one arc as a reference point and place a dot on it. (at the highest point)
Repeat this process at equi-distant across the parabolic arcs. In our case, our equidistant point is approximately 2 arcs.
Repeat the dotting process, this time at the area in between the exterior of the Roman-shaped arcs.
Using the tip of the Roman-shaped arcs as reference, start plotting out Oriental-shaped arcs.
Repeat this process around the circumference of the whole flower. These represent the leaves of the flower.
Repeat this whole process 2 more times, with one Floral Mandala connecting at the base (near the wrist) and another extending outwards. (near the knuckles)
To add additional effects to your Floral Mandala, we extend a wavy line from the bottom mandala, towards your wrist.

The thick paste applied in the form of gorgeous mehndi design simple is made from the powder of a dried-up plant. When washed off, it leaves a cherry red or brown colour that makes the hands look so beautiful and decorative. However, the colour of the simple mehndi design does depend on the amount of time it is left on.
It started out as very simple mehndi design that were applied using some object like a piece of wood. But now it has now turned into a great fashion trend with so many latest simple mehndi designs that are very exquisite and intricate. The trend is not just centred in India and surrounding South-Asian countries but it famous around the world where a lot of people enjoy it fully. The most popular out of all these designs is the Arabic simple mehndi design which originated from the Arab countries like Saudi Arabia.
Some people prefer very simple mehndi design that do not cover the entire hands. Given below is one such example which includes design on just one finger connected to a flowery design at the back of the palm. Another very simple and elegant mehndi design simple is shown in the second picture. It is a very easy to make design that will literally take only a couple of minutes. Just make some leaf and droplet patterns across the hand from the wrist to the tip of the finger. And there you have it, a very cute and pretty design to rock at any event.
This simple mehndi design is perfect for those who love the traditional tikka but love to experiment with it to make modern renditions. It includes multiple circles joined to make a gorgeous pattern in the centre of the hand as well as the wrist. With pretty little patterns on the fingers. You will see modern brides wearing such simple mehndi designs on their weddings as well.
Another great example of vine styled simple mehndi design is this vine of dots and flowers that goes across the hand in a thin strip. The mixture of dots, thick and thin lines and flowers really brings out the best in this design
