The art of henna tattooing is a very ancient one, and can be traced all the way back to the ancient Egyptians who used henna to decorate their bodies. Henna is a non-permanent dye made from the dried leaves of the henna plant. Henna tattoos are popular in India, Japan, North Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East, where henna is grown. Although they began as cheap decorative body art, and signs of auspiciousness, they have now become exotic and very popular in the US and Europe too. Cities like New Jersey and Edison have large immigrant populations, and hence it is not unusual to find henna tattoos becoming increasingly popular there. Interestingly, henna tattoos are not just a part of bridal make-up in Edison and New Jersey, but also popular as temporary body designs for night outs among all cultures.
As for Indian and Middle Eastern as well as Iranian weddings, elaborate henna tattoos are part and parcel of bridal dressing up. Bridal make-up also consists of traditional hair-dos, often done using extensions to give the heavy and long locked look. Many brides prefer the bouffant style of hair-do over which a veil or the edge of a saree can be draped, giving the bride extra height. Others prefer a plait embellished with ornaments to be artistically left hanging. Very few like to leave their hair completely unpinned because it is difficult to manage such a hairstyle for long without it becoming limp or tangled.
Bridal make-up is done depending on the color of the dress, the hair, and the weather of the city the wedding is held in. In cities like New Jersey and Edison, bridal wedding hair and make-up can be done with cream-based products in winter and fall, when the temperature tends to drop drastically. Cold weather helps the make-up to stick on for longer. Summers would require bridal make-up to be done a tad lightly, with water-based products. Of course, this choice of bridal make-up really depends on if the wedding is to be held outdoors where the climate directly affects make-up and hair styling, or indoors, where conditions are more controlled. The predominant colors of the lipstick, eye-shadow, and nail polish are coordinated with the bride's dress.
Since weddings are occasions for everyone to dress up and look pretty, a lot of women like as much variety as is possible in their wedding make-up, hair, and dresses while still adhering to traditional standards. So, for a traditionally themed wedding in New Jersey City or Edison, the bride would be dressed in the customary wear of the culture, but the women attendants and family members too would wear traditional wedding clothes, with appropriate wedding make-up and hair-dos.
