Most of the Mehndis are carried out in the house gardens or backyard and if you have a tree or two in your Mehndi venue, it's time to include it in your wedding decor! If it's a day mehndi than decorate the Tree with gende ka phool. If your ceremony is at night than just light it up with those tiny lights which are quite the trend in every other wedding. You can even hang your photographs from these trees using strings to make it memorable or why not utilizing old beer bottles? It looks just ah-mah-zing!
Colorful Dupattas and drapes
Mehndi is a function where you want to experiment with a lot of colors.

Lightning and glow jar
Candles add instant ambiance to any ceremony but they’re hard to keep alight when the wind picks up at an outdoor gala. Prevent the night time breeze from plunging your mehndi affair into the darkness with a glow jar and lightning. All you’ll need to do is to ask your decorator to strings of battery-powered micro-LED. Place the string lights inside the jars and spot its mesmerizing beauty. It can be placed on tables, along paths or add a string and hang from trees for a magical glow.

Depending upon your wedding theme, you can either mix and match or stick to one prop lantern that fits your decor. They look super elegant, and you can simply ask your decorator to hang these up.
Balloons
Nowadays even helium balloons are in trends that stay up in the air all the time. Those cost a bit more…but not that much when you actually think about the overall decor. You get lots of colors, prints, shapes, patterns, and sizes.The idea is to mix up a few props to get that perfect Mehendi decor. So it doesn’t necessarily have to have a single object decor. You can have a few balloons, a few paper lanterns a few cushions and so on. Just work it out based on your needs and venue.
Satin ribbons
