“Every bride I meet has a story to tell. We spend hours together, laughing about life and love. I leave my brides feeling like I’ve always known them and there is something special about sharing these moments with someone who is about to start a new journey. I work closely with brides to create beautiful patterns, personalising some of them with elements taken from their lives and it gives me the most joy to see how happy they are once their henna is complete.”

LOOKING AFTER YOUR HENNA
To make sure you achieve a beautiful stain , I always advise my brides to do the following:
Try and keep your henna on for 8 hours at least to achieve a deep colour
Stay warm! The warmer you are the richer your stain can be, this applies during application and after.
Crumble your henna off the next morning or after 8 hours and remove any stubborn dried paste with either coconut oil or olive oil - do not remove with water! Try and avoid water as much as you can for the next 48 hours as the stain develops.
Protect your stain for the next two day or up until your event by applying the above oils before using water and generally throughout the day.
Avoid harsh chemicals on your stain.
