Bridal mehndi in Stratford and Forest Gate by Zakia, an East London henna artist with over 20 years’ experience. My studio is in Ilford, and I come to homes and venues across Stratford, Forest Gate, Maryland and West Ham.
Venue and hotel bookings
Staying in a Stratford hotel before the wedding? I can apply your bridal mehndi in your room so you can rest afterwards. Just let me know the venue and timings when you book.
Glitter and white henna for receptions
If you’d like something different for your reception or walima, waterproof glitter henna or white henna with gems can be matched to your outfit. It lasts 3–8 days and photographs beautifully.
