Flowers for a Fatiha or Katb Al-Kitab
A Fatiha marks the families' agreement to the engagement. A Katb Al-Kitab is the signing of the Islamic marriage contract. Both are usually held at home or in a venue with close family, and flowers are part of the welcome.
What to choose
- A gift for the bride or her family: a statement rose design such as Abdo Grand Roses (25, 50 or 100 stems), the Grand Lux Pink Posy (24, 50 or 100 stems) or Meet Me at the Altar (around 38–40 roses).
- For the table or entry: vase designs such as Ivory Elegance Luxe Vase, Blossom Symphony Luxe Vase or Mrs Elegant arrive ready to display.
- Something softer: Adelia's Orchid Bouquet or You Make Me Blush.
Colour
White, ivory and blush are the most requested because they suit the bride's dress and most décor. Red and white rose designs such as Red and White Romance add a traditional romantic touch. Share your colour scheme in the order notes.
Card messages
- "Alf Mabrouk – wishing you a blessed life together."
- "Congratulations to both families."
- "Mabrouk on your Katb Al-Kitab."
Timing
Book delivery for the morning of the celebration, or the day before if the family is preparing the home. Include a contact number for someone who will be there. Large rose designs (50 or 100 stems) are best ordered a few days ahead.
