This marks a one-of-a-kind night where we hereby invite all our guests to partake in a fabulous, flamboyant and fun Indian tradition associated with weddings - The Mehndi Night!
It is incredibly rare to have our beloved family and dearest friends travelling in from all over the world, to meet in the same location. As such, we want to use this as a unique opportunity to celebrate our guests and bring families, culture and spice together during this pre-wedding fiesta!
The evening will compose of a curry night with a buffet of Indian delights! There will be cocktails, music and eating until your hearts desire! We will also be doing a milni ceremony, which is a tradition of exchanging a jai mala (flower garland) between the families.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
Check-in to your rooms at the St Audries' reception from 3pm.
The Mehndi Party starts from 6pm at The Windmill Inn (across the road).
The night will draw to a close around 10pm. We will need you fresh the next day!
No strict dress code, but we suggest colourful cocktail party attire. Indian wear is encouraged!
Think paisley designs, kurta pyjamas, saris and lehngas!
