The Turkish wedding celebration lasts several days after the ceremony. The new bride visits her family and friends the morning after her wedding before undergoing a henna ritual. A Muslim wedding in Turkey typically spans 4-7 days, beginning with separate celebrations for the bride and groom's families. The couple does not see each other from this point until the wedding ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride wears a silk dress with red velvet cape that is beautifully embroidered.
