In Pakistan the mehndi ceremony is usually called a 'tael mehndi' (oil and mehndi) ceremony. Traditionally the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be would hold their ceremonies separately, but nowadays the choice is up to the family to hold a ceremony together or of their own accord. The mehndi is supposed to be applied to the bride-to-be and the oil is supposed to be applied to the hair of the groom-to-be.
Nowadays however as the bride usually prefers to have her mehndi done professionally they have their mehndi done in a parlour or call a professional mehndi artist to their home if none of their relatives are experienced enough. It's not usually applied at the mehndi ceremony.
