Well, I don’t have any photos yet to show you but, this is what I did for her.  Naomi is half Guyanese and always wanted to get henna for her wedding but she came across Luxe Glow and thought this was for her.  She had two gowns so we discussed the designs to accommodate both gowns.  I can’t wait to see the photos of her in dresses!  I’ll post them when i get them.

This last week has been a bit hectic, many meetings and the lat minute gigs which i was happy to take these..  but fortunately or unfortunately, some great opportunities come up  due to other henna artists car accident and the other was sick…( knock on wood I won’t be the next henna artist canceling gigs.)  One was the even I was able to sub for was a big event for event/ wedding planners!  So, I took this as another opportunity to promote Luxe Glow for Western brides in white gowns.  I started to do some sketches for this occasion, here are some:

one more..

As for the meetings, the bigges one i’m working on right now is the contract with 5 star Hotel opening in SOHO soon!  I was contacted by a spa director there and we are having meetings to work out the details how to work together.  I’m sure i can update as they make official announcements but for now it’s in process and keeping my fingers crossed.  I can see Luxe Glow taking off this summer for sure!

Well, sort of.. my part was to design the henna motif part. Since I’ve worked in the textile print field, I understand very well that people describe prints in very personal ways. Also if you are looking for a true henna designs not too many graphic designer ( not even a textile/print designer )can really create that design flows nicely. So I get a phone call from a bride with henna inquiry and at the end a request to help with her invitation! I believe she found a right person for this!! so said no problem, she sent me a link to what she liked from my site then based on the that I sent her the design and she LOVE it! Said it was exactly what she was looking for.
Ola at:http://ijorere.com/ is the one who is working on this invitation, so everything else but henna motif is what she worked on.

For personal reasons I was not able to have henna done on my wedding.
After a long, exhausting search on henna alternatives, I found online
Akiyo’s photos of her silver and white henna designs. The pictures
were beautiful… but they did no justice to how gorgeous her work
looked in person. I went with gold henna designs to match my outfit
and it really completed my look. I received so many compliments from
people expressing how much they loved the gold design over traditional
henna. Akiyo’s work made me feel special and I couldn’t have been more
thrilled

– THANK YOU!
