The elephant-featured mehendi is one of the most favorite Indian bridal mehendi designs. The curvy and swirly patterns add a distinct flair to the design, keeping the feet decorated, but not to such an extent that the elephants go unnoticed.

The elegant and stunning peacock design is adopted everywhere in Indian bridal looks – starting from bindis to lehengas, and of course, henna designs!
