You've probably already spied gorgeous Moroccan wedding blankets. You know, the ones with the cream and taupe shaggy fringe and the silvery sequins? Otherwise known as handira, these blankets are a window into the traditional Berber culture of Morocco. They are crafted in anticipation of a wedding as a sort of send-off present. It comes as no surprise that their aesthetic appeal has been woven in to many bohemian and luxurious designs.

Utilizing these Moroccan wedding blankets as a neutral, yet glamorous jumping off point, The Twelve Events styled this beautiful wedding editorial that we shot on the Athenian Riviera last Spring. All of the handiras used in this editorial are unique and handmade in Morocco.
