Creative and resourceful Moroccan artisans, use the henna to embellish goat skin lamps, stretched on wrought iron to become an exotic lamp shade, to dye the camel bones used to embellish the hand made crafts or to trace it on pottery in a multitude of colors and designs.

In Morocco, everyday patterns are often simple, while more intricate designs are applied for special occasions. Moroccan Weddings, the birth of a child, festivals, feast days and other days of traditional significance would call for more elaborate henna. In general, there has been a renewal in the use of henna. For some, henna is used for cosmetic purposes only. However, for others it is a piece of history, tradition and culture, as well as a beautiful art form. Weaving in and out of Moroccan culture and tradition, henna is deeply symbolic of Morocco - both past and present.

Henna refers to the reddish orange dye which is prepared from dried and grounded leaves that produce fragrant white and reddish flowers.

Elaborated henna designs are applied to Moroccan brides, the night before the wedding, where the name of the groom is designed within.

Henna party

Five days prior to the ceremony, the negaffa (female wedding attendants) prepare the marriage chamber, give the bride a ritual Turkish bath and draw mehndi, or henna designs, on her hands and feet. The day of the wedding, the negaffa apply makeup to and veil the bride, then lift her up on their shoulders and carry her to the groom's home on a platform to the beat of tambourines. Children carrying candles may accompany them. The groom's mother lifts the veil to greet her daughter-in-law. The groom himself is veiled. The bride must circle her home three times before entering.

The ritual has a deep purpose other then the bride not performing any housework until her henna has faded. During the evening of the "henna party," all the women gather together and the older, married women, share the secrets of marriage with the bride-to-be.

This tradition is still respected, and performed in Morocco, until today. Dating back 3000 years.
