FAQ - Nikkah & hlel caftan

What should you wear for a nikkah?

A white or ivory caftan that is covering and elegant: a modest neckline, long or three-quarter sleeves, and a luminous fabric without excessive shine. Modesty is a code here, not a constraint.

What is the difference between nikkah, hlel, and a wedding?

The nikkah (or hlel) is the religious wedding ceremony, often intimate and held with a small group; the wedding celebration comes afterward, sometimes months later, with more spectacular outfits.

Does it have to be white?

White is the most common choice for the bride, but ivory, ecru, and champagne are equally appropriate. Guests, however, should avoid white.
