Moroccan wedding blankets are the most luxurious mix of texture, shine, culture and symbolism you could have in your hands. They were traditionally worn by the berber bride on her wedding day but today they are a true object of beauty, desired by every bohemian home to inject interest to a space while maintaining a subdued palette. I use to show you my wedding blankets as bedspreads or blankets. However, I adore them as wallhangings, rugs, pillows or as sofa throws like in this terrific living room. They will transform your bedroom, old sofa, ottoman or even bare floor into something magical! It’s no secret that I’m thrilled that this trend is sticking around!

If you know me well, maybe you have heard me say many times the word handira and surely I already told you this story, but there it goes again. The history of wedding blankets dates back to antiquity in Atlas Mountains where this blankets were worn by the bride on her wedding day. Handiras were made by female relatives during the weeks prior to the wedding day to share their fears and confidences. Thousands of sequins were hand sewn in such a tender and intimate atmosphere. Handiras are also a symbol of happiness, fertility and protection against the evil. I love having one or two handira pillows at home, they are my amulet, a piece of well-being. Today I would...
I love small weddings! Especially when they are as beautiful as this one! Marius and Garazi were married with just their closest family and best friend present in a beautiful natural environment on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. The couple besides being beautiful, they have a wonderful story to tell. Both are actors and dancers and they met while waiting for a casting. There the spark came up but it was not until both were selected for the same work where the love was born. For their wedding day they chose a Mediterranean decoration based on natural materials such as wood, linen, pottery, white flowers and many cacti. For the altar area they chose a precious vintage handira. An old piece...
A delicate and elegant space was what Araceli y María from Arte de Marte wanted for the showroom celebrated at Rental Mode Barcelona so they filled the space with greenery, the most beautiful balloons from pluiedeconfettis and they picked pretty vintage Moroccan wedding blankets to make sure the guests were wowed once they came in. They served delicious cookies, pastries, fresh fruit and juices so that the ladies could enjoy a moment of pleasure while trying on beautiful dresses and hats. This event thrilled my heart and I hope the pics taken by Marta could show you the love and the emotions poured from eveyone into this event. It was so emotional working and creating together, women with the same purpose....
Marruecos siempre llamó mi atención, su halo de misterio y exotismo me atraía cada vez más. En mi mente imaginaba dunas doradas infinitas, oasis de palmeras, puertas labradas, alfombras de lana y patios secretos en medio de la ajetreada vida de la medina. La fascinación era cada vez mayor y hace algunos años decidí comprar ese billete de avión para por fin conocer ese pedazo de tierra. Hoy me gusta decir que en Marruecos vive un trocito de mí. Después de tantos viajes en solitario no había nada que desease más que compartir mis experiencias con otras mujeres que querían vivir la magia y el magnetismo de este país por unos días. A principios de Agosto, volví con más ganas...
