What to wear to a henna evening?

The henna evening is the emotional heart of a Moroccan wedding. It is the night when the bride is surrounded by the women in her life — mother, sisters, friends — while her hands and feet are decorated with henna.

The bride traditionally wears a green or gold kaftan or takchita, often with matching jewellery and a belt. But more and more brides are choosing burgundy, deep blue or even pink — as long as the piece radiates richness and warmth.

As a guest, dress festively but not too bold. Choose a kaftan in an elegant colour — avoid white and the bride's colour. A simple kaftan with subtle embroidery is perfect: you are there to shine alongside the bride, not to overshadow her.

Wear comfortable shoes: there will be dancing. And don't forget your clutch — you'll want your phone handy for photos of those beautiful henna patterns.
