Unique Wedding Custom

Marriage has been one of the most important events Mauritanians celebrate with huge delight. Mauritanians were not used to celebrating traditional weddings in the magnificent manner that they do now. In the country, the bride wears a black robe on her wedding day, which is a Bedouin tradition. The grooms, on the other hand, get married in white.

The bride looks stunning in her wedding gown. Lakhel is the name given to a black dress. This is a high-quality, beautifully embroidered linen that is stitched as soon as a girl is born. It would be an affront to your culture and customs if you did not wear it.

Under the veil is usually a garment of the same color. The veil is then scented with a pleasant-smelling traditional perfume. Her hands and feet must be decorated with intricate henna designs. The bride then accessorizes her look with a colorful, gleaming headgear known as a "lerouse." She also wears traditional accessories on her arms, neck, ears, and legs, as well as make-up on her face. In the past, Mauritanian brides used only eyeliner to line their eyes. Brides now wear a variety of makeup.
