Mehendi Artist in Northern VA/DC area?

We are having our Mehendi night on a Friday in April 2012. Do you guys know any artists in the DC Metro area? We'll probably need 2 (maybe 3) for the night, as well as 1 for me specifically on Thursday night for Bridal Mehendi.

For those gals who don't know what Mehendi is... think Madonna!

Here's a picture:

OR

How it looks after the paste has come off and the hands are left with an artistic stain:

Please help if you know any ladies in this area! Thanks!

    Thanks! No... not yet. We were just going to use our Mandap (Indian altar) decorator because we aren't planning to have much in the way of flowers. However, I will take all ideas!!

    I'm super excited about it as well. I didn't think my friends would want to be bridesmaids - because it's not a thing in Hindu weddings - but they were like oooh we get to wear saris! So now... I have 6 awesome bridesmaids. Smiley smile

    As for venue - we're having it in Northern Virginia but are in the last rounds of negotiation so I don't want to jinx myself and say it yet. Just a bit of superstition... I will definitely let you know later on!

    What types of things do people use flowers for? I'm having very simple centerpieces - a hurricane globe with colorful plastic beads, water and 3 plastic flowers. (Looks great!) And flowers for the Mandap (Indian altar).

    Maybe something like below but with flowers down an aisle.
