Wedding

of time with the bride and the bridesmaids to determine 

the theme and the different thoughts. The goal is to make 

the brides feel special, and creating that feeling is what 

Polli loves most. “It’s an artistic endeavor and one that is 

going to be forever in the Bride’s memories and pictures,” 

describes Polli, “I want my brides to be thrilled with their 

hennas, so we, together, give this great thought and 

planning.” Henna is the perfect medium to tell a story, 

the color starts off bold and then slowly fades away, but 

the memories last a lifetime. The truly special thing about 

henna is that each one is completely unique and a special 

form of expression to each individual. Polli recalls one 

of her favorite memories doing henna for a wedding, “I 

love the beautiful surprise the attendees had when the 

bride walked down the aisle as her back showed…. It was 

a beautiful white henna down her back, and glittered like 

white lace.”

Henna is an ancient art; it was used by Cleopatra as 

a make-up for her hair and lips and has been used for 

centuries in different kinds of body art, clothing dyes and 

hair dye. “I love that this art form has so much history, 

and tradition. It has many meanings as it is used in India 

for wedding rituals, and is now more commonly used in 

traditional weddings here in US,” explained Polli, “As an 

artist, I love learning, and henna has been a wonderful 

learning experience. Not only is it an amazing medium, it is 

also a historical form of art.” 

 

“It’s an artistic endeavor 

and one that is going to 

be forever in the Bride’s 

memories and pictures.”
