Cultural Henna Night

A Turkish henna night (called Kına Gecesi) is a traditional celebration held before a wedding, usually among close family and friends. The bride wears a special outfit, often in red, and henna is applied to her hands as a symbol of love, commitment, and good fortune. The night includes emotional moments, traditional songs, dancing, and joyful gatherings. It is both a farewell to the bride’s family home and a meaningful cultural ritual celebrating her new beginning.
