I wanted to know if it is allowed to participate in the pre wedding henna/mehndi parties common in the indian subcontinent. I have heard the hadith where our prophet says he who imitates a people is of them. I am of the understanding that this celebration is from the hindu culture. If the event was within our sharia guidelines (no free mixing or music) would it still be impermissable due to the background of the ceremony? Is there any basis in islam for celebrating it?

This is a Hindu tradition and it is not permissible for Muslims to practice it. However, if all Muslims practice it now without any imitation to the Hindus and there is no mixing  and no non mahram would see this, this is permissible.

 What are the characteristics of the wedding dress that would render it to be halal, other than covering the awrah perfectly, and it’s reasonable in price, plus it’s wearable even for other occasions not just the wedding day. Is wearing a special dress on my wedding day considered to be imitating the kufars? What about holding a hand bouquet?

The dress should be covering your body properly, not tight and not see through and not revealing your awrah or part of it. There is no problem if you wear it for the wedding only or carry the bouquet.
