The wedding ceremony is a universal rite of passage and often the centerpiece of a culture, filled with long-held customs and traditions. The North of Morocco is no exception. Getting married is one of the highlights in a person’s life, and no efforts are spared to make the bride as beautiful as possible. Multiple layers of necklaces and precious stones, known as the Takhlila, are added to the traditional wedding dress of the North, the Shedda.  Watch as the bride prepares for her big day.
