Haldi and Mehendi at a Farmhouse: A Simple Planning Guide

More families now host their haldi and mehendi at a farmhouse instead of a banquet hall. You get open lawns for colour and dancing, rooms to get ready and privacy for the family. Here is how to plan it.

Why haldi and mehendi at a farmhouse works

• Big lawns for decoration, seating and dancing
• A pool as a beautiful backdrop for photos
• AC rooms for the bride, groom and elders to get ready and rest
• Space for your decorator and caterer

Choose by guest count

For 50 to 70+ guests, The Party Garden is ideal, with a catering kitchen and parking for 20+ cars. For smaller functions, BMF Anand works well.

Decoration

Haldi looks best with yellow and marigold, low seating and a floral swing. Mehendi works well with colourful umbrellas, cushions and fairy lights. Allow your decorator enough setup time.

Food

A caterer with a buffet is the norm. Read Food at a Farmhouse Party: Ordering In, Caterers and Kitchen Rules for kitchen details.

Timing

Haldi is usually a morning or afternoon function. Mehendi can run into the evening with music. If both are on the same day, a night stay can save travel.
