Meet Aman Sandher, a mehandi artist from Toronto, Ontario who gets her mehandi designs inspiration from the love and passion surrounding her
I feel so lucky to have interviewed mehandi artists from Chicago, Pakistan, London, New York, Mumbai and another from Toronto. Aman provides each and every bride with unique designs (pre-sketched) to ensure that the bride’s most important day is perfect! And that is the exact same reason why I love doing bridal makeup – to make the bride feel extra special on her most important day and feel more beautiful that what she already is. Read on to know how Aman began her journey in mehandi designs —
1. Tell us about yourself – when did you begin applying mehandi and how did you think of getting into this line.
I’m a self taught mehandi artist and I love what I do! I have always been doodling and sketching for as long as I can remember, but playing around with a mehandi cone started in my early teens. I would just grab a mehandi cone at any family mehandi event and start applying mehandi designs on others, and of course I was always intrigued by watching other mehandi artists apply it. I could watch them for hours and hours. My passion lies in creating artistic pieces just right for my brides. I’ve recently begun sketching out custom designs for each bride. This keeps my creative juices flowing.
2. What are your top favorite mehandi designs?
If I had to pick one personal favorite it would be my Great Gatsby inspired mehandi design, which I just did a few weeks ago. It was so much fun to design and a pleasure to work with this bride who had requested Great Gatsby patterns to be incorporated into her mehandi design. I absolutely loved the end result! Overall, you’ll notice I love spacing and working with both intricate and Arabic designs. Lately I’ve fallen in love with less traditional patterns (more aztec and tribal patterns). I try to incorporate these wherever I can. The possibilities are endless when it comes to mehndi, and that’s what makes me truly enjoy what I do.
