You’re looking for something that will keep everyone connected and engaged.

But isn’t henna for traditional eastern culture weddings you ask? It is if you’re part of the culture but if you’re not henna serves everybody in a lot of different ways. It’s fun, celebratory and exciting for anyone that chooses to experience it. It’s not a one size fits all.
But isn’t it just for women? You ask. Nope, but because most henna is shown from a wedding perspective, it’s understandable that this is a misconception. A good henna artist can design for all genders.
