Accessories, Embracing Tradition
Finally, don’t forget the essential touch to honor Moroccan traditions: accessories. We naturally think of babouches, these elegant handmade shoes that will perfect your outfit. You can also consider a head covering like a razza or an amama.
How to Dress for a nikah as a Guest?
If you are among the privileged ones invited to this event, it is essential to make a sartorial choice befitting the occasion. Opt for an outfit that stands out while respecting the significance of the event. Why not take advantage of this evening to showcase the cultural richness of the Maghreb?
We recommend choosing a caftan and selecting it carefully from a range of handmade items. Thus, you ensure a unique and elegant outfit. The caftan, with its sophisticated cut and meticulous details, offers a touch of refinement that will set you apart. Opting for this traditional Maghrebi attire will not only allow you to celebrate the marriage in accordance with customs but also distinguish yourself with style.
By the way, what is “nikah”?
The word “nikah” refers to the religious marriage that makes the relationship between a man and a woman lawful.
Commonly, the term “engagement” is sometimes used to refer to religious marriage, distinguishing it from civil marriage.
Thus, it is not uncommon for some couples to celebrate this significant event in their lives twice, observing both the rituals of religious and civil marriage. This adds a doubly meaningful dimension to their mutual commitment.
How are Engagements Conducted?
Here too, there are two approaches. In the Muslim religion, “engagements” per se do not exist, but it is considered that when two people agree to marry, they are engaged. A celebration is not necessarily organized, and it is simply referred to as “khotba,” which corresponds to the moment when the man asks the young girl’s parents for her hand in marriage.
For others, engagements correspond solely to religious marriage (although it is a complete marriage!). Thus, in some traditions, religious marriage is celebrated first, followed by civil marriage. If both occur almost simultaneously,
What Can You Bring as a Gift?
If you are invited to a Hlel, it is always appreciated to mark the occasion by bringing a gift. Muda Paris suggests 3 gift ideas!
1. An Outfit
It goes without saying that we suggest opting for traditional attire, such as a gandoura. The groom can wear it daily, whether at home, going to the mosque, or visiting family.
2. Accessories
Well-chosen accessories can perfectly complement an outfit. Thus, offering artisanal items, such as babouches, for example, is always a safe choice.
3. A Perfume
A genuine everyday product, perfume is always a pleasing gift. Opt for a quality and delicate fragrance, such as scents evoking musk.

Why Opt for Artisanal Outfits?
Low-quality outfits are too widespread. By opting for artisanal craftsmanship, you stand out from pieces seen everywhere.
Each artisanal piece is the result of meticulous work, ensuring both quality and exclusivity. By wearing a caftan, gandoura, or jabador crafted in an artisanal manner, you affirm your style while honoring the beauty and authenticity of Maghrebi traditions.
How to dress for a nikah is no longer a secret for you! Now you have the tools to make informed choices to celebrate this union. Turn this moment of sharing into a memorable memory by focusing on elegance and authenticity. If you are invited to share this moment of joy, don’t forget to opt for a beautiful outfit that stands out from the groom. Of course, you can choose a chic Western outfit, but at Muda Paris, we believe these are beautiful opportunities to honor the Maghreb.
