Designs on Love: Mehndi Artist Sowmya from Joy of Henna

Finding a mehndi artist is generally a "word of mouth" task and most brides go with someone they've seen at the mehndi of another bride, or someone recommended to them by a friend.  Sowmya of Joy of Henna Mehndi Artistry was recommended to me by a bride I know.  I got in touch with her to ask if I could feature some of her work.  Her reply was timely, thorough and full of information, the sign of a true professional, in my books.  My favourite thing about her service is the free, no commitment consultation.

Here is what she had to say:
My name is Sowmya, and I'm the artist behind Joy of Henna, a henna artistry company based in Toronto, ON. I use 100% Natural and Fresh Henna, with no chemical additives. This ensures that the henna designs you get are completely safe, and have deep, dark and long lasting stains. Although I am a versatile artist who is comfortable creating Henna designs in various styles, I specialize in intricate bridal mehndi designs. Every bridal package includes a no-charge, no-commitment one hour consultation with the artist. The consultation is a great opportunity for the bride to go through our portfolio, look at various styles of bridal henna designs, get a sample design done and learn about henna aftercare to ensure the best results on the big day.
