Turkey Mehndi Styles
Turkish henna tradition is centred around the beloved Kına Gecesi (Henna Night), a deeply emotional pre-wedding ceremony unique to Turkish culture. While Turkish henna designs tend to be simpler than their South Asian counterparts, the cultural ceremony surrounding their application is among the most elaborate in the world. Modern Turkish henna artists are now blending Ottoman-inspired florals with contemporary aesthetics.
Cultural Traditions
The Kına Gecesi is held the night before the wedding, where the bride wears a velvet dress and veil while female relatives apply henna to her palms. The ceremony involves emotional songs that make the bride cry, and a gold coin is placed in the bride's closed, hennaed palm. It is a farewell celebration from the bride's family.
