Bridal mehndi in Brentwood, Chelmsford and Basildon, from an artist with over 20 years’ experience. I’m Zakia, based in Ilford, and I travel out along the A12 and A127 into Essex for brides, mehndi nights and family celebrations.



Brentwood, Chelmsford, Basildon and south Essex
I cover Brentwood, Shenfield, Billericay, Chelmsford, Basildon, Wickford, Grays and the rest of Thurrock. Many Essex weddings are held at country venues and hotels, so I can come to your venue or hotel room on the day before or the morning of your mehndi.
Your free trial takes place at my Ilford studio, which is an easy drive in from the A12, so you can see your designs and the colour before the big day.
How bridal mehndi works
- Free trial at my Ilford studio: pick your designs and see the colour on your skin.
- Book your date with a £50 deposit.
- Mehndi day, usually 1–2 days before the wedding, at your home in Essex or your venue.
- Aftercare: I talk you through keeping the paste on and getting the darkest stain.
Styles
Indian, Pakistani, Arabic or completely bespoke – including your partner’s name or initials hidden in the design, motifs from your dress, or a modern minimal look if you prefer less coverage. Browse the bridal gallery for ideas.
