I'm a passionate graphic designer, lover of art, culture and fashion, and a professional henna artist & makeup artist. Henna artistry has been a hobby of mine since I was a little girl. While at college, I turned my henna hobby into a career by taking a 4-day henna course with the world-renown henna artist Ash Kumar from London. Since then, I have been beautifying the hands and feet of many brides and their families. Because each bride is unique, I consult with each bride beforehand to ensure that every bride gets her own personalized henna to make her special day as perfect as can be.

I can’t recommend Dhara highly enough. She came to do the mehendi for me and my mother in the days before my wedding, and I was blown away with her. Her designs were beautiful and intricate, and I received endless compliments about their delicate and subtle elegance, but what really stood her apart was the patience and her attitude keeping us in great spirits. Having to sit still and not be able to use my hands could have been torture, but her calming presence was exactly what my mother and I needed. If you’re looking for the total package on your mehendi, you can’t make a better choice than the Dhara.

Hey Beautiful! I’m Steffanie- a makeup artist located in Central Florida, a dog mom (2 rescues), I love sports (GO GATORS!), love having brunch dates with my besties, & of course love my Starbucks iced coffee! I have been in the beauty industry for 15+ years (I am honestly shocked I can even say that!) in a variety of roles. The last 2 years I have really spent honing in my efforts into my own business. Beauty really is my passion. I love making my brides feel comfortable, confident, and of course- beautiful. It’s never lost on me that you have your choice of artists, & being chosen to be there for your big day is such an honor!

As a Bridal Makeup Artist & Medical Esthetician, I specialize in preparing my brides with the proper skincare regimen, treatments, body sculpting, and makeup artistry for their big day! ​ I am passionate about this experience because I get to build relationships with my clients at the beginning of their wedding planning process. This allows me to get to know you and your skin more in depth so we can develop the best version of yourself for your bridal debut!

I could not reccommend Sam and her team more! Sam completed my initial trial for my engagement party and we reviewed what i liked and did not like, a year later in preparation for my bridal shower i trialed with her assistant Julie so i could get an idea of how my whole bridal party would look no matter who they used. Julie also did a fantastic job and let me test out colors i may not usually wear for my wedding day vibe, but fit perfect for my shower. When it came to wedding day- Sam listened to my evolving ideas from the last year and a half and truly made my makeup dreams of full glam wedding day come to life!!! I looked incredible!!! I typically do not wear a ton of makeup, so i was excited to go full glam and i truly looked like a model. I glowed all night! We got married on a very hot and humid day in August- took photos outside for 4 hours straight and i was sweating a ton!!! I was so nervous my makeup would be off my face by the time i walked down the aisle...but it didn't!!! My makeup stayed exactly how it looked at 10 am when she put it on my face all the way to 11pm when we got back to the hotel. It even survived the rain storm we got from the hurricane. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist. Sam is so personable and she listens to exactly what you want and matches every girls skin tone- from very pale to very tan, we all looked perfect. Her communication for the 1.5 years we worked together was outstanding. Pricing was also very reasonable. Myself and my 12 bridesmaids/moms had an amazing experience with Sam and her assistant Julie. I have recommended them to many of my friends who are brides to be and cannot wait to continue recommending Sam for years to come!
