Wedding Jewelry in Morocco: The Secrets to a Perfect Choice

Marriage, this organized madness!
So, you're getting married! Between booking a venue, choosing a caterer, and your mother-in-law having a say in everything, you're also faced with the crucial choice of jewelry. And then comes the drama: what should you wear to look stunning without looking like a Christmas tree?
As someone who has outfitted hundreds of brides, let me tell you one thing: there are no absolute rules, but a few tips that make all the difference!
Henna: the art of subtlety
The henna party is your first chance to shine. But be careful, it's not time for the big reveal yet! The idea is to be elegant without stealing the show from your magnificent henna tattoos.
One of my clients told me, "I want my jewelry to interact with my henna, not fight!" Exactly! Thin bracelets that match the designs, delicate earrings, maybe a discreet chain... The henna is the star that evening.
The ceremony: when everything is permitted
On the big day, you can bring out the big guns! It's YOUR day, the day you have the right to make a splash. A full set, a tiara if you like, layered necklaces... Anything is possible, as long as you stay consistent.
The secret? First, choose your statement piece—the statement necklace or earrings—and build the rest around it. One bride chose a dazzling choker for me, so we opted for more understated earrings. The result: sublime!
18-carat gold, the choice of reason
Why do I always push 18-karat gold for weddings? Because you'll be bringing that jewelry out again! In ten years, for your wedding anniversary, in twenty years for your daughter's wedding... 18-karat gold ages well, it keeps its shine, and your photos remain beautiful.
And let's be honest: with the stress of the wedding, you have better things to do than worry about your jewelry tarnishing!
Pitfalls to avoid
First trap: wanting to wear ALL your jewelry on the same day. No, no, and no again! Choose, eliminate, dare to leave it in the box. Elegance is the art of choice.
Second trap: ignoring your dress. Plunging neckline? Opt for earrings. High neckline? Bring out the statement necklace. Long sleeves? Bracelets are your friend.
My bridal checklist
Three weeks before: complete fitting with the dress, shoes, hairstyle. You'll see right away what's wrong.
One week before: Professional cleaning of all your jewelry. It should shine like the sun!
D-Day: a small first aid kit with a soft cloth and a few pins. You never know!
After the wedding
These wedding jewels deserve to be worn! No need to let them sit in a safe. Bring out your necklace for an important dinner, your earrings for a special evening. They are part of your story now.
Your wedding will be perfect, I'm sure of it. And you, you'll be the most beautiful!
