First, thanks to all who have provided some info regarding this
post.

I should add that while I'm interested in lots of different styles,
I'm specifically looking for designs suitable for a bride...I have
this friend who just got engaged and she's refusing to let me use
the "I'm not good enough" excuse to get out of doing hers; she
claims that I've got 1.5-2 years to practice and that it doesn't
matter anyway because it'd mean a lot to her if I did it.

Soooo...I gotta start practicing now. Many in her family will find
the henna controversial enough; I don't want to make it worse by
doing a lame job. I've suggested that she find a "pro" artist to
do it, but she won't listen. I'm honored, but it still scares me
witless to be doing a job as important as this. Those who have seen
my site know that heretofore, I've just been playin' around, doing
stuff for fun (all of the sessions, not just the one single session
that some have problems with). But bridal henna? To respect the
tradition and the wedding, it's gotta be more than just playin'
around.
