Sephardic bridal photography

The Sephardic or Berber dress is the attire that complements the rite of passage represented by marriage in general and the Night of Cloths in particular. Its decoration refers to the new values of the married woman: fidelity, fertility, feminine energy, faith, and purity.

It also holds a meaning of protection for the bride and her fertility. An important aspect to note is that this collection of symbolic meanings is achieved through a combination of materials and decorations similar to those used in the mantles that cover the Torah: silk velvet, twisted thread embroidery, gold braids, and decorative motifs. In short, with this attire, the bride is equated to the Queen, the Torah, because, just like the Torah, the bride becomes a bearer of a message and a guardian of Jewish tradition.
