The Dulhan sitting on a beautifully decorated jhoola—the centre of the universe—with the wedding shenanigans bustling all around her is the quintessential mehndi. Long hours of intricate art are beautifully applied to not only the bride but also the bridesmaids, guests, and so on during a mehndi, sangeet or any other ceremony, and in such a case, the bride's basic need is a comfortable seat.
But comfort isn't everything, so while the fairy-tale unfolds in the most beautiful colours and customs of the rich cultural heritage we hold so dearly, the mehndi jhoola must be a sight to behold!
Here are some of our favourite jhoola ideas for this wedding season, handpicked for you to take inspiration.

Cover your swings in the prettiest decoration material and let them shine like the well-deserved centrepiece they are.
Elegant but easy! Marigold decorations are one of the most common Jhoola decoration ideas. Choose a Jhoola with creative designs etched on it and leave the rest to the subtle flower decoration.

According to the great Leonardo Da Vinci, simplicity is the greatest sophistication, and this simple mehndi jhoola with the traditional shades of orange and yellow that deck up the hands of the swing with the purple fabric is a simple but gorgeous selection. The rustic feel is enhanced by the wooden swing, which might be the ideal theme for your summer wedding. Put some cushions on top of it and relax while wearing floral jewellery and a pastel lehenga.
Since the dawn of time, floral and non-floral centrepieces have commanded attention at weddings, but who says floral centrepieces are only for the food tables and entrances? The mehndi jhoola is as unique as it gets with this perfectly adorable pair of parrot instals. The predominant colours, pink and purple, create a lovely pastel theme for the decor, while the yellow and green of the floral birds round out the pop!
The sky's the limit, and marigolds aren't the only floral limitation when it comes to mehndi jhoola decor ideas. This mehndi jhoola is a sight to behold, with light orange and bright yellow gerbera flowers alternated with ferns.

This wedding jhoola is inspired by the weaver bird's nest, which is one of nature's most miraculous structures, spun so intricately. This swing is all about aesthetics, with delicate twigs interspersed with leaves and chains or rope to make the foundation a fortress. It's an adorable seat for the bride because of the flowers that add to the colour contrasts.
For your wedding functions, here's a brilliant Jhoola decoration idea! The colours of the swing and the flower arrangement are enough to create a pastel decor. The pink Jhoola has been further embellished with black, peach, pink, and white flowers, as well as beautiful hand-carved carvings.

This mehndi decor is for the bride who loves it rock-n-roll, with eccentric flamingos adorning corners and centrepieces or entrances of the wedding decor trends in 2020. The shimmery disco balls above and the sparkles in the background add a futuristic touch that contrasts with the traditional floral decor. The swing is plain, with mogra decor to make it fragrant and lovely, but the flamingos obviously steal the show!
Do you wish for a fairytale wedding? Then this is the Jhoola decoration for your wedding functions that you should use. Beautiful Jhoola with leaves and pink roses made from a floral arch!

It's almost customary to use roses at weddings. So, for your Jhoola decoration, how about combining bright pink gerberas with soft pink roses? If you like minimalist decor, this one should be at the top of your list! The sweet combination of mogra and gerberas on a plain white Jhoola with matching pink and beige cushions will add just the right amount of serenity to your Mehndi decor.
