I Dream of a Morocco Wedding

Being so close to Egypt, and being a source of interesting foodstuffs (such as couscous) and materials, Morocco is brimming with culture. All of this amounts to a destination theme that will give your wedding a memorable edge.

The theme colours and decor items are probably going to be the most obvious ways of setting your Moroccan scene, since they are the first glimpses that your guests get into your special day. Use burnt orange, red, cerise, brown, gold and turquoise in your wedding stationery, decor and wedding dresses.

• Islam remains a prominent religion in Morocco. So, incorporating some Islam traditions (such as henna painting on your hands and feet) may be fun.
• As guest favours, give your friends and family popular recipes for Moroccan-style dishes, incense or small, ornate key rings that are reminiscent of Moroccan style.
• Seat younger guests on colourful beanbags that have been strewn on the floor.
