A line of henna, drawn slowly.
Henna is never rushed. It is drawn with patience, left to deepen overnight and worn for days. We would love you to share these days with us, from the first line of henna to the last plate at the Walima.
With love and du’a, Zara & Ibrahim

What should I wear?
Modest celebration attire. Henna orange, night teal and ivory are lovely, and lace and atamfa are always welcome.
Are these photographs of the real couple?
No. Everyone pictured is a fictional sample for this design, and the venues are imagined.
