This was an amazingly fun & beautiful shoot out together by us at Henna by Kelly Caroline and Meaghan with
Birch Affair .
Birch Affair did the visual art and decor styling for the vintage bohemian wedding photoshoot we envisioned. The venue we went with was
Ypsilanti Freighthouse which is a beautifully restored vintage train station that is open for weddings and special events in my hometown of Ypsilanti, Michigan. The photography for our wedding shoot is by the very talented
Tana Helene Photography
For the henna for the bride, I met with her three days prior to the photoshoot so I could ensure the best outcome for her henna stain. The henna powder I used was from
Henna Guru . I did my normal henna recipe but then I added jagua juice to the mix that I got from Henna Guru . After I applied their henna designs, I waited for them to dry and then I applied
Mefix tape to their designs.
Mefix tape is such an awesome product – it adheres to the skin but doesn’t smudge the dried henna design- instead it holds it in place allowing the body’s natural heat to make the henna darker and stay on the skin longer.The jagua henna mixture came out so lovely and dark on all the models. It was a beautiful henna day !
Once we had the core of our team – photography, visuals, & decor stylist, we moved forward with the rest of our team. Meaghan brought on
Fudge Beauty for make up for the models and
Unwind Salon for the hair styling. We were so pleased with both of their talents and then pairing the clothing from
Birch & Elm and the handmade jewelry for my favorite jewelry artist
Courtney Fischer Jewelry made the perfect boho feel.
To complete our vintage, boho wedding look,
Birch Affair reached out to
Rose Marine Textiles for our linens, napkins, and table runners.
Rose Marine Textiles hand dyes all of her textiles that she uses *swoon* . Our fantastic table wasn’t complete without the handmade ceramic of
Make Do Studio which I just loved. The plates and bowls were so beautiful and tactile but delicate ah!
The Good Rug was our source for rugs and pillows for our lounge areas and
Jessica & Co Vintage is our main gal for all the seating & lovely vintage furniture !
Gigi & Laclede is where we found the glassware and filled it with the tasty wine from
Vintners Canton Winery and on those plates from
Make Do Studio we were sure to include the pastries from
Good Cupcakes who made a gorgeous naked cake filled flavored with lavender and tea cupcakes mmmm!
Detroit Bridal House had the most beautiful wedding dresses for us to choose from so we went with what the bride
Brittany Miller loved the most which was a modern take on a classical vintage look. She put together the skirt from
Detroit Bridal House and a sweet little black silk blouse for her reception look and a gorgeous gown for her ceremony. Brittany and
Kevin Smigeilski, our bride & groom, are engaged in real life and are the founders of
Shock The World – an organization for strengthening community with Jesus-looking love. Their events are based in Detroit, Michigan.
The amount of talent at this photoshoot was unreal! I am so thankful I got to be around all these creative individuals all at the same time – it has given me a creative buzz that I’ve been coasting on all week.

I always get the question :
How long does henna last?
My answer is that it really depends on the area you have it done. The stain takes a little longer to develop fully on softer areas of the body, like the back. Usually though, henna lasts 10-15 days with the hands and feet lasting the longest.
Five days ago I did this henna tattoo on the back design . Today I got a chance to capture a picture of it. The stain came out so dark ! The dark brown color should last about 1 week and then gradually fade. Check out my newest henna tattoo on the back . This is day 5 for her henna design.
I love to do big, trailing flower designs on the back.

A question I am frequently asked is “How do I prepare for my henna appointment?” Here are a few key things to remember before having henna done and how to care for henna:
1. Henna stains the best on clean, dry skin. Please do not apply any lotions or oils to the area where you want your design. Its a good idea to shower and exfoliate before your appointment, too.
2. For brides, make sure you have someone to assist you after your appointment if your arms, hands, feet, legs will be covered in henna.
3. Be sure to eat, use the restroom, take out your contacts, etc BEFORE we get started doing your henna since it will be very difficult to do these tasks after the henna is applied to your hands. الروليت اون لاين

Remember that henna takes anywhere from 10 – 30 minutes to totally dry depending on the environment and amount of henna applied. العاب بوكر Be mindful of this before deciding where your design will go. The less you move before it dries, the better. You want to avoid smearing and premature cracking of the dried paste. You’ll want to leave the dried paste on for as long as you can.

7. ENJOY the pampering experience of having henna done!
