How booking works.
A quarter of the quote, non-refundable, holds your date. Paid by card from a link in your quote. The balance is due seven days before a wedding, on the day for events.
Your deposit moves once to a new date with at least 14 days' notice for bridal bookings and 48 hours for events.
Included within 25 km of Upper Hutt, which covers Lower Hutt, Wellington city and Porirua. Beyond that, $1.20 a kilometre. Kapiti, Wairarapa and out of region are quoted.
Bridal henna goes on one to three days before the ceremony so the stain is at its deepest on the day. Saarah will advise the exact timing at your consult.
The paste is henna, essential oils, sugar and lemon. Please tell Saarah about any allergy to those, and about any skin condition on the area to be drawn.
Saarah photographs her work for the portfolio. If you would rather she did not, just say so at the booking.
