RUG UP…
Moroccan textiles are an iconic staple of the country. Their rugs in particular have an exotic, yet comforting feel about them. Make use of stunning, intricate rugs by creating an aisle, a communal space for guests to sit and mingle, or lay multiple rugs together for a creative and inviting dance floor.
LAIDBACK DESERT LOUNGING…
Puff seating on top of your traditional Moroccan rugs and tapestry can create a cosy and intimate wedding ceremony. Lay down some cushions and padded benches creating a welcoming environment for your guests to relax. The ceremony takes a while so why not make the guests comfortable.
VALLEY OF THE ROSES…
Bring the vibrant essence of Morocco into your wedding day by incorporating Damask roses. The Rose Festival in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco harvest these roses for their fragrance. They will look even more beautiful in your bouquet!

HAVE A HENNA OF A TIME…
A big Moroccan wedding tradition is the use of henna on the bride. Done by a female relative, the henna tattoo symbolises good luck and is believed to guard against the evil eye. Create some henna with you and your bridal party the night before for a flourishing marriage, Moroccan-style.
