Haldi is a fun traditional event of rubbing a turmeric paste on the bride and groom to cleanse them and prepare them for marriage. This paste is known for its medical benefits and anti-bacterial properties. Applying it to the bride and groom blesses them with clear skin for the wedding and helps to ensure they will be free of any illnesses or ailments prior to the wedding. Yellow is a great color to wear for this event!

Mehndi, also known as Henna, is a paste associated with good luck and positive energy. The ceremony is held to wish the bride good health and prosperity as she begins her journey onwards to marriage.
