A lotus that blooms at the heart of it all 🪷 - Symbolic. Traditional. Beautifully You.
This design is rooted in Indian bridal henna, specially crafted for a Kerala wedding theme - where our tradition supports grace.
I’ve used a mandala base with symbolic florals, placing a lotus at the center and enhancing it with the reverse Mahali technique for a deep highlight. The surrounding petals are darkened to complement the core, creating a semi-bakel look - balanced, bold, and elegant.
It perfectly resonates with the essence of Kerala’s rich culture - pairing effortlessly with Kerala bridal saree look, traditional ornaments, and that iconic bridal charm.
Every pattern and petal reflects the timeless beauty of Indian weddings - especially those steeped in Kerala’s graceful traditions.
