About Traditional & Symbolic Motifs

Beyond the patterns, I focus on the meaning behind each motif. Whether it is the peacock to represent grace or elephants for prosperity, these symbols are placed with intention. I mix my own organic henna and apply a lemon-sugar sealant to make sure these intricate designs develop a rich, dark stain for your big day.
