Beautiful Mehndi Designs for Muslim Brides

Muslim women from various Muslim cultures (from Indonesia to Morocco) decorate their hands and feet for their weddings with elaborate and intricate henna designs. So taking that into consideration, we feature beautiful henna (mehndi) hand and feet designs in today's article. These henna designs are appropriate for the Muslim bride.

It is also appropriate for women wanting to celebrate special occasions such as on Eid.
The application of the henna can take anyway from one to five hours depending on the type of designs being applied. The more elaborate and intricate the designs, the longer it takes for the henna artist to apply the bridal henna designs.

Please take a look at some of the more beautiful henna designs that we found recently. The pictures featured are from henna artist Zenna.

Muslim Bridal Dress Design Ideas

Many of the ethnic dresses in Muslim cultures can be appropriate for an Islamic wedding. For today's article, we focus on the Arab Jalabiya (long dress). Depending on which region of Arabia one is from, the jalabiya can take on different styles.

Some of these jalabiya are elaborate and beautiful, making them perfect for a Muslim bridal dress.

Keep in mind, it is unnecessary for Muslim brides to be wed in all white - i.e. this is not religiously based. So the picture of bridal jalabiyas I have gathered are of all hues.

Muslim Bridal Fashion - Wedding Hijab Style

Here are some ideas to help you get started on selecting your Muslim styled bridal dress and matching hijab.

Though men are not allowed, by the strictures of the Quran, to wear silk or gold, women do not share this restriction. But even on her wedding day, a woman should not display her bare arms or head. She can, however, clothe herself in beautiful fabrics, displaying outwardly for her husband and her family the gorgeousness of her faith and purity. A woman dressing for her wedding should make her husband and family proud of her beauty and her piety.

When preparing for your Muslim wedding, clothing should be a primary consideration. Muslim wedding clothing should be modest and beautiful at the same time, an outward celebration of the life the bride and groom are looking forward to. Allah wants us all to be joyous in our lives and in the joining of two lives together. Part of being joyous is displaying to the world how proud we are to marry the one we have chosen.

Remember that hijab is not simply about slapping on a headscarf; it is an all-encompassing state of mind where the main intent is on protecting one's sexuality and not displaying it overtly. That's the larger principle of the Islamic context of modesty. It is culture that translates that context into the different forms of Islamically acceptable attire we see from the abaya to the baju kurung to the kaftan to the shalwar kameez. Keeping these principles in mind, you will find that contrary to what many think, the bridal dress choices for the Muslim woman are aplenty!

Here are some tips how to apply makeup that makes a bride more amazing.

Normally for American brides, foundation that has yellow undertones is the most flattering, but if a bride has a very dark skin, a foundation with a slight blue cast works best. And if a bride has medium-toned skin, choose a foundation with a red-yellow hue. Additionally if her skin is light, look for a soft golden shade.

There is possibility that bride may he variances in undertone on different parts of bride’s face so it’s a good idea to have three foundation shades — light, medium, and dark — on hand to allow for the different gradations of color.

Actually most of American women are darker across the brow and chin and slightly lighter on the cheeks. So it better to use light foundation under-eye concealer and to lighten a dark forehead or chin area. Plus use medium foundation all-over color to correct spots of varied pigmentation and then use the dark foundation to even out the lightest areas of bride’s face. One can also experiment with a bronzing stick to bring down the lighter tones of her face.

And for blush one medium to dark skin tones look best with deep blush hues like dark rose, currant, and plum. Use burgundy and blackberry shades in lipstick, it will look beautiful on dark skin. And the bride with medium skin tones look pretty in currant or red, and those with light skin look best in low-voltage neutrals and glosses.
