What to wear to a Moroccan wedding as a guest.

For women

  • A caftan or a takchita is the most elegant choice, and it is always welcome.
  • Choose rich fabrics and colours: velvet, brocade, embroidered chiffon.
  • It is best to avoid an all-white outfit, usually worn by the bride.
  • Add a belt and jewellery — they complete the look.
  • Plan comfortable shoes: the celebration often lasts late into the night.

For men

  • A jabador or a djellaba is perfect for a traditional wedding.
  • A dark suit is also accepted at many weddings, especially abroad.
  • Babouches complete a traditional outfit.

If you are not Moroccan

Wearing a caftan or a takchita as a guest is usually welcomed as a mark of respect and joy. If you are unsure, ask your hosts — and if you do not own one, renting is an easy solution.

Rent or buy for the occasion

If you are travelling to Marrakech for the wedding, you can rent a caftan or a takchita in our boutique, with a fitting when you arrive — or buy one to wear again. We can also make your piece to measure and ship it to you in Europe before the wedding.

Frequently asked questions

Can a non-Moroccan wear a caftan to a Moroccan wedding?

Yes. It is generally seen as a sign of respect and appreciation. If in doubt, ask your hosts.

Is a takchita too much for a guest?

Not at all — takchitas are very common among guests, especially close family. Simply choose colours that do not compete with the bride's white outfits.

What should a man wear to a Moroccan wedding?

A jabador or a djellaba for a traditional look, or a dark suit, which is accepted at many weddings.

Can I rent an outfit for a wedding in Marrakech?

Yes — most of our caftans and all our takchitas can be rented, with a fitting in our boutique.
