Henna. Inai. Mahendi.

For my wedding, I specifically wanted my hands and feet to be painted with pretty henna designs. I wear inai sometimes, on my fingers. I think it's quite common for me thus for my special day, I want the henna to be special too. I don't wear swirly henna designs on my hands on usual days. So I thought, hey, I'm getting married once in a lifetime, let's get crazy!

I e-mailed Dayu last month telling her how much is my budget and which design I'd like to have and how much she'll charge me. She gave a reply one week after that and yeah, she's flexible and can work within my budget. I wanted some blings on my hands too. Owh, just for the sake of pictures and pure fun actually. I haven't confirmed yet because while browsing, I found a cheaper option from Amrina. She makes pretty henna designs too. Check out  her website for more info.

Of course, when I'm having my henna moment I don't want to go for fully intricated designs. I'm very much comfortable to opt for half-intricated designs on top of the hands only (together with a simple design on the palms would be good too!).

As for the feet, I wish to have simple design on top of them. At least nanti when I wear my shoes, nampak la jugak design henna yang sedikit itu.

I much prefer to have the NAILS ONLY painted with inai rather than having a full cap inai on my fingers and toes.

As for Johan, I personally thought he shouldn't wear inai even on his 3 fingers after reading from JAKIM regarding the usage of henna on men and women. And I found this to be useful and informative. Let's share since I heard so many things mengenai hukum-hakam pemakaian henna ni.
