The
Turkish marriage celebration continues after the
wedding ceremony for several days. The newlywed
bride may return home the morning after her
wedding vows to see her family and friends, who
then might perform a henna ritual on her.
A
Muslim wedding program in Turkey lasts from four
to seven days, starting with separate celebrations
of the bride and groom's families. From this day
on, the couple getting married cannot see each
other until their wedding ceremony.
A
Turkish bride might wear a beautifully embroidered
silk wedding dress with a red velvet cape.
