A gorgeous mehndi party as one of many events at H&J’s destination wedding week in Lake Como
This mehndi soirée was designed as an immersive pre-wedding celebration, where tradition met contemporary elegance in a way that felt elevated, joyful, and intentional.
Set within a refined Italian setting, the event balanced cultural ritual with a modern sensibility, allowing color, texture, and atmosphere to lead the experience without tipping into excess.
As an Italian wedding planner specializing in multi-day destination weddings, my role was to orchestrate a seamless flow that honored the significance of the mehndi ceremony while creating a setting that felt relaxed and celebratory for guests.
From the pacing of the afternoon to the spatial layout, music, and design details, every element was curated to encourage connection, movement, and ease.
Rich tones, layered finishes, and thoughtful styling created a sense of warmth and abundance, while expert coordination ensured the event unfolded effortlessly behind the scenes.
This mehndi celebration reflects how Indian wedding traditions can be reimagined within a European destination, maintaining their meaning while embracing a refined, contemporary aesthetic.
For couples planning an Indian destination wedding in Italy, this portfolio highlights how careful planning, cultural understanding and discreet production can transform a traditional event into an elegant, immersive experience that feels both authentic and beautifully considered.
