POSTGRAD LOVES: MOROCCAN WEDDING BLANKETS



As I have mentioned before, it feels like redecorating my room is never ending. Up next on the list is picking out new bedding. Unfortunately, I am the most indecisive person on the planet and I just can't settle on bedding.  But I do know that I would love a Moroccan wedding blanket folded on the end of my bed. Moroccan wedding blankets are traditionally woven by a bride and her family and then used throughout her wedding and afterwards. They are symbols of luck and fertility. Given the significance, I think it may be a purchase that would be more meaningful when I actually do tie the knot. Since that is quite awhile away, I don't know if I can wait! I love that they add a bohemian element to a room and go with so many different types of decor. And the texture and beading is just so, so pretty.



After reading up on how to purchase one, I found that if I can't go to Morocco myself, Ebay or Etsy is my best bet. After checking out both those sites, I quickly learned that one of these pretty babies will cost me quite a bit of money.

                    

Has anyone purchased one online? If so, where did you buy it and do you have any tips? I am hesitant to purchase one on Ebay or Etsy that I can't see in person first and that I can't return.
