For hundreds of years Berber women of the Middle Atlas Mountains in Northern Morocco have been hand weaving wedding blankets referred to locally as Tamizart. Now more commonly known as Handira, Moroccan wedding blankets have remained an integral part of the Berber wedding tradition. The weaving process is a communal and collaborative effort during which the unwedded girl is taught the responsibilities of womanhood and marriage by the matriarchs of her family. The blanket is to eventually be worn by the young woman on her wedding day, so family members endow marital baraka or blessings into the textile as they weave it. When the base of the handira is finished, mirrored sequins are added to its surface. This process is extremely laborious, yet vital, for when the blanket is worn by the bride on her wedding day, the sequins rattle and ward off any looming evil spirits. Additionally, when worn the blanket bestows fertility and good fortune upon the newly wedded couple. After the wedding ceremony has ended, a Berber bride will wrap her handira around her shoulders and wear it during the journey back to her new home with her husband. A Berber bride is always carried, typically on a mule, during this procession and her family will follow behind carrying gifts for her new family. Aside from the spiritual qualities that the wedding blanket possesses, it also provides warmth during the chilly evening ride through the mountains of Northern Morocco. #TieTheKnot #Handiras #Tamizart #MoroccanWeddingBlanket #WeddingBlanket #MoroccanHandira #Handira #BerberBride #MoroccanBride #Imilchil #Moussem #MarriageFestival #WeddingFestival #WeddingDay #WeddingTradition #Berber #Moroccan #Imazighen #Amazigh #GoodLuck #Bride #BerberWoman #BerberCulture #BerberTraditions #MoroccanBerber #AtlasMountains #Morocco #Marriage #Wedding #AlexandraBoulat @NatGeo
