Moroccan Negafa -

Traditional Moroccan weddings are known for their elaborate traditions and customs, which have gained popularity in Europe and America.

The Moroccan wedding is a grand event, with the families of the bride and groom, their relatives, and friends coming together to celebrate with joy.

For this, all brides seek to be on top, to have the most beautiful outfits, the best adornments, and the most beautiful crowns, and accessories.

This is why the Neggafa is very popular and in high demand.

The Neggafa or Ziana is the wedding planner. She will prepare, present and accompany the bride during the wedding ceremony.

In Moroccan wedding ceremonies, the Neggafa, her assistants, and her entire team play an important role in the celebration of the wedding.

That’s why it’s important to carefully choose your Neggafa.

It is necessary to contact her several months before the wedding to select the different outfits, adornments, and accessories.

The Neggafa generally has a wide choice, she puts at the disposal of the bride a wide choice of Amaria, Maida, and the accessories of the scene where the bride and groom will settle to be distinguished from the guests.

For the outfits either you bring your own outfits that you have prepared in advance with a stylist or you rent the one from the Neggafa.

There are also special outfits that represent various regions of the kingdom like the fassia outfit, which represents Fez, shamalia which represents the north, Sahrawi which represent the south, and last but not least, the Berber outfit.

Usually in Moroccan weddings, there are two days of celebration, the Henna Day and Wedding Day. Lately, people started to do the whole ritual in one day or just one night because it is too expensive.

The role of the Neggafa is not just to dress and make the Moroccan bride look like a princess on her wedding day. She must please her, and reassure her if she is stressed.

This is why she stays with the bride on Henna day and during the wedding evening.

In Morocco, the Neggafa is not only called for weddings but for all sorts of occasions and parties such as the Henna of the holy night in Ramadan for little girls, the day of the baptism, the Henna of the 8th month of pregnancy for woman…

Nowadays, the profession has followed trends and even crossed national borders.

Professional Negafats compete and do not hesitate to buy the most beautiful outfits, the most exquisite jewelry and accessories, the most extravagant Amariya and Maidas to meet the needs of a demanding clientele and above all to face fierce competition, especially in high season.
