There is nothing wrong with being open minded, and mingling cultures, but it could be a problem if others at your wedding were not as open minded. To those who object, you could point out that many customs of Christian weddings are actually superstitions with no Christian origin. For example: the scattering of rose petals on the isle is supposed increase you and your husband's chances of having a baby. Throwing rice feeds the evil spirits to stop them attacking the bride and groom and promotes fertility. Tins tied to the wedding car scare away evil spirits. The bride traditionally stands to the left of the groom, so he could 'have easy access to his sword to defend his bride from rival suitors.' The veil is to hide your face from evil spirits. ...the list is endless! I fail to see how being decorated with henna could be considered wrong when many Christian brides follow these other superstitions. I say go for it! Best of luck with your wedding!

If it's a traditional church wedding, you are more or less expected to wear the long white dress and go along with the traditions. Henna in that situation, would probably be distracting and possibly offensive to those attending your wedding- depending on how conservative your church and your guests are. If you are having your wedding in a more casual environment maybe it might not be that weird. You might consider having it done someplace that doesn't show, but first find out if it will stain your dress. If you do decide to wear henna, maybe have something written about it in the program. Explain the significance and why you think it's beautiful. Don't bring up the Hindu religious aspect of it if it might offend too many people. It would depend on the type of wedding you are having.
