WHAT IS A HENNA PARTY?

Of all the Jewish Sephardic wedding traditions the unanimous crowd favorite is the Jewish henna wedding ceremony.  It is colorful, spirited, and highlights the bride and the groom’s reverence to their heritage and their anticipation for a happy future. think brightly colored garments, Fez hats, tables of marzipan candies, dates and special pastries, authentic Moroccan music blasting while family and friends dance with infectious enthusiasm.

The red paste is applied to the bride and groom’s hand palms in a round, coin-like shape, to symbolize good luck and abundance. Afterward, the palms of the hands of all the guests are also hennaed one by one to be blessed with good luck.
