Ngungkab Lawang & Mehndi Ceremony

Mehndi Ceremony -  It's here that we will be joined by our loved ones to get henna tattoos applied to our bodies before the wedding day.

Ngungkab Lawang - This means opening the door.  During this traditional Balinese wedding ceremony, family and friends join the groom in a carnival like procession to “pick up” the bride from her house/room to begin their journey together as a married couple. 

There will be music and dancing and a celebration that honors love and togetherness.  It is a sign of 'suhaag,' implying a blissful married life. 

What To Wear: Wear your Balinese costume, colorful or florery outfit with short sleeves so your hands and arms are exposed. The Mehndi application isn't a quick process. The intricate patterns will need 30 minutes to dry so you may have to sit still to avoid smudges.

Cost: N/A
