Wearable Art

Around the world, applying henna paste to a body is an ancient cosmetic ritual for the sake of beautification and celebration. On Martha’s Vineyard, Bridgette Bartlett, owner of Maple Mehndi, offers just that to future newlyweds and their guests with her hand-drawn contemporary henna art for bachelorette parties, bridal showers, welcome parties, and even wedding receptions. Brides usually reach out to Bartlett about a year before their wedding to go over what their dream mehndi will look like and put a deposit down for the date. Packages for the bride range from $500 to $1,500, depending on the size of the designs. For more information or to book, visit maplemehndi.com.
