Are you deciding on a mehndi-inspired outfit? Are you confused? Pakistani mehndi dresses are going all over the place with vibrant colors that catch all the attention of everyone and keep the party spirit up. 

Here at Studio Elite Chicago, we're watching these trends dominate and I'm here to tell you what's in fashion. Let's look at the shades that will make your mehndi evening one to be remembered.

Why Color Rules Mehndi Dresses

Mehndi night is the bright, cheerful celebration of the wedding and your gown must reflect the same enthusiasm. 

Pakistani styles are awash in bright, vibrant colours like green, yellow and orange. Mixing them well is what will make you stand out without looking messy. These are the hot combinations that brides and guests have been raving about these days.

Yellow and Green

Green and yellow are timeless for mehndi. Imagine a cheerful yellow lehenga, paired with a vibrant green dupatta and maybe some silver or gold threads that tie it all together. It's energetic, it's exciting, and it's in line with the henna stain that everyone's sporting. I witnessed a woman at the Chicago mehndi event pull this off and her pictures appeared everywhere on the internet within hours of her appearance.

Yellow enlivens things like sunshine, while green makes it cool and earthy. Put on a matching bangle or a chunky necklace and you're ready to go.

Orange and Pink

Do you want a look that exudes fun? Pink and orange are making waves. Imagine a skirt in orange with a pink blouse, or mix it up with white stitching or tiny mirrors sprinkled over. 

This outfit is a huge hit in the Pakistani boutique close to me, because it's a bit revealing in the most stylish way.

A friend of mine wore it to her cousin's mehndi party, and she told me that people would never ever stop asking her where she bought it from. It's a great choice for an evening of dancing with a bright and vibrant color, but not too overwhelming.

Teal and Gold

Gold and teal create an entire mood. The deep blue-green hue with gleaming gold makes you feel like you're being taken from a painting. 

An anarkali of teal featuring gold-trimmed trim, or even a dupatta that has gold embellishments looks stunning under mehndi lighting. This is a great option for brides who want something regal and not your typical red.

This combination has been appearing more frequently on the shelves of Studio Elite Chicago. It's got that distinctive look, but does not feel heavy or stiff.

Pastels with Twist

Pastels are making their way into mehndi dresses and are great paired with a hint of spice. Imagine light peach and an icy mustard splash or a baby pink with lime green. The soft colors keep it fresh, while the bright pop creates a lively look. A lehenga that has a pastel color and striking stitching ties it all together in a perfect way.

The bride who I have known chose the combination of mustard and peach for her mehndi and everyone was enthralled. It's an interesting method to change things up and still keep that festive look.

Red and Maroon

The combination of maroon and red is pure power. It's intense, it's strong and can be a perfect match for the mehndi party which is all about big feelings. A red t-shirt and a skirt in maroon or a dupatta with a mix of both, will make heads turn. Include some silver or gold elements, and you'll have a complete knockout.

The pair is a big hit in an Indian boutique near me  as well as it is a great match with Indian designs. The look is for weddings or for a guest who would like to stand out from the crowd.

Picking Your Colors Like a Pro

Your color choices are all about how you feel. Are you looking for loud and bright? Pink and orange or red and maroon are great choices. Do you want something soft, but cool? A twist on pastels may be a good choice. 

Gold and teal are great for those looking for that luxurious elegant, polished appearance. Pick the look that suits your style for the evening.

Visit a Pakistani boutique near me and you'll be able to see these combinations available for you to try. If you're in Chicago, Indian dresses in Chicago are a reflection of the same spirit and energy, which means you have plenty of choices to choose from.

Add This Mehndi Magic with Details

The colors set the scene But the details add the shine. Think embroidery made of little mirrors or sparkling stones. The colors of green and yellow, with floral stitching are perfect for the event. Pink and orange with mirrors? 

This is a great dance floor option. Use light fabrics like georgette or chiffon so that you're comfortable throughout the chaos.

I noticed an elegant gold and teal dress with beads on the bottom during an event recently. It caught the spotlight every time she moved and everyone was glued to her.

Fabrics That Make It Work

The fabric you choose is important as well. Chiffon is incredibly light and easy to flow and is ideal for summer mehndis in the summer when it's hot out. 

Georgette's got a little more grip, yet still moves nicely. If the weather is cooler and you're looking for a heavier-weighted cotton, thick embroidery will keep you warm without sacrificing the appearance. Each variation alters how colors are absorbed, so test several to determine what you like most comfortable.

A friend of mine was wearing a pink and cotton combination for her mehndi outside. The girl said it was cool and still had all the jewelry she wanted.

I spotted a guest pair her green and yellow dress with gold jhumkas and those big earrings. It was right on. Small details like these will make your outfit pop.
