4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Wear your brightest, most colorful attire! Traditional Moroccan or cultural clothing is encouraged - think kaftans, djellabas, or anything vibrant and celebratory. For guests without traditional attire, elegant cocktail or semi-formal dresses in bold colors and styles works beautifully.
Join the bride for a traditional Moroccan henna party to kick off the weekend! The bride will be adorned with beautiful henna designs, symbolizing joy, protection, and good luck. Expect music, dancing, and an evening full of celebration with family and friends.

Casual Dinner Attire
We are so excited to have you join us for the welcome dinner in Morocco! Please be mindful that the weather can be quite hot, so we recommend light and breathable fabrics such as linen, cotton, or flowy dresses to keep cool and comfortable. As we’ll be dining in a traditional moroccan setting, please remember to dress modestly - avoid anything too revealing, especially in the shoulders, chest, or above the knees, as we want to respect the local culture and islamic traditions. Simple, relaxed, and elegant attire is perfect for this occasion. We can’t wait to see y'all and celebrate with you all in comfort and style!
