Mehndi Magic at Drury Lane: West Virginia Meets Seattle in Chicago


We had the honor of bringing to life a Mehndi event that was as vibrant and unique as the love story it celebrated. The bride, hailing from West Virginia, and the groom, from Seattle, chose Chicago as the perfect middle ground for their families to come together. And what a celebration it was!


The Mehndi, traditionally a pre-wedding event filled with joy, music, and the intricate art of henna, was a feast for the senses. We embraced the couple's desire for a colorful and lively atmosphere, incorporating bold hues of blue, orange, and red throughout the décor. The stage was a focal point, featuring stunning drapery, colorful umbrellas, and intricately designed lanterns that added a touch of whimsy and magic.


Set against the elegant backdrop of Drury Lane, the event was a perfect blend of tradition and modern flair. The vibrant colors and playful elements created an atmosphere of celebration that was both heartfelt and fun. It was a night where two families from different parts of the country came together in the heart of Chicago to share in the joy of this special occasion.



The stunning photography by Amna Belal captured every moment, from the intricate details of the decor to the smiles on the faces of the couple and their guests. The memories of this beautiful evening will be cherished for years to come.
