Another example would be a mehndi design that is based on a particular body area, with no specific central element. With this second blueprint, large areas are divided into smaller shapes, and fill elements are then employed to occupy those spaces. Fes or Fassi Style Henna Traditional Moroccan weddings used to last seven days. The bride and groom’s families used to have parties in their own homes before the day where the bride actually meets the groom. Of course, every one of the two families were invited so that led to lots of days of partying. However today this really isn’t practical and rarely done. There are only one or two big parties (one at the brides’, one at the grooms’) or just one big party for both. There are also other nights to the celebration. The Hammam Day The application of henna is typically done by skilled artists known as “hnayniyas” or “mehndi artists.” These artists use fine-tipped cones or brushes to draw intricate designs on the skin. The henna paste is left to dry, and as it dries, it leaves behind a reddish-brown stain. The longer the paste is left on the skin, the deeper and more long-lasting the color. Traditional Occasions for Henna Henna has been part of Emirati culture since 600 AD when Prophets started using it to look young and hide their grey hair.

Many Moroccan women, and even some men, choose to apply henna for personal expression and as a form of body art. Henna is not limited to special occasions; it has become a fashion statement and a means of self-expression.

The location of the party is up to the discretion of the family. Traditionally, it might have been hosted in the bride’s home, though oftentimes it is now celebrated in a venue. Wherever it is hosted, the decorations are elaborate. Tal describes the classic colors as burgundy and gold. As Tal describes the henna ceremony, once the couple sits down, “we put henna on both of their hands, and we tie them together.” Henna is put in the middle of the groom’s palm, as well as the center of the bride’s palm, then a ribbon is used to tie them together. “The reason we’re doing it is to tie the relationship, to tie their future — it’s like a symbol of your time, of your connection.” The henna is symbolically shaped in a round circle, like a gold coin, to represent money and prosperity for the couple.

Grey hair becomes fiery-red and dark hair shines with red highlights. This henna hair dye is also highly recommended for traditional Berber and Mehndi body art. Weeks before the big day itself, it is customary for family members to band together and lovingly make pastries and cook food, ready to be served to guests and well-wishers. Kaftans and clothingAt some point during the ceremony, the bride and groom will give each other milk and dates and exchange rings, symbolising the sweetness of the new chapter of their lives. The hammam is a steamy public bath where women will go to purify themselves through hours of scrubbing and massaging. Ghassoul, a type of clay mixed with water, is applied to the skin to clarify it. Some also believe that the mixture protects the bride from the "evil eye".

Finding a nice place is of great importance especially if the wedding will be in summer aka “wedding time” in Morocco! Many places book up to one year in advance (and sometimes longer), so you’ll want to make a reservation as soon as possible for your chosen date. The different words for henna in ancient languages imply that it had more than one point of discovery and origin, as well as different pathways of daily and ceremonial use. The word henna comes from the Arabic حِنَّاء‎ ( ALA-LC: ḥinnāʾ; pronounced [ħɪnˈnæːʔ]). [4] History [ edit ]

I think it is happier than the actual wedding,” Tal said, “only because you’re bringing a tradition — something that’s been there for so many years. I’ve seen that families are investing so much money in these ceremonies just to make it look so beautiful. You realize how powerful this specific ceremony is. Very, very powerful.” Moroccan Henna helps to repel insects, gives resistance to mildew and has some antibacterial properties. The hammam rituals are followed by an evening of dancing and singing, known as the henna. Here, the bride will wear a green or gold kaftan and have her hands decorated with henna patterns.
