Zahra Buhari’s version of the bridal preparation was held on Thursday.

Henna, a skin decoration commonly used in India and the Middle East, is applied to the palms and feet of the bride-to-be.

The mehndiwali, a female relative, is expected to carry out the application.

Other members of the bride’s family and guests also put henna on their hands.

Here are pictures from the first daughter’s cermony
