1. Henna party: Applying henna on the palms of females is the tradition followed dearly by the inhabitants. Plan out a pre-wedding gathering with all your close females friends and family and get your hands decked up with beautiful, aesthetic intricate floral and geometrical designs. Apart from being a tradition, applying henna is considered to bring good luck too.
2. Invitation card: Neighbouring the Middle East, Moroccan literature is dominated by the use of Arabic language as the medium of verbal, written and oral exchange. Justifying the Moroccan theme of your wedding, get your wedding invitation cards designed in authentic Moroccan colours like dark pinks, oranges, fuchsia, deep corals and the Arabic font for the content.
3. Rich ambiance: The Moroccan style is defined with rich and luxurious architecture and design. Studded with bold colours and simple designs, it involves gradients of earthy hues. A wallpaper of humble geometrical figures laid throughout in olive green and chocolate brown would make up for a pretty background.
4. Colourful food: Moroccan cuisine is one of the most varied cuisines in the world. It is a fusion of Moorish, European and Mediterranean cuisines. A great deal of Moroccan food is made up of poultry. The traditional dish of couscous would add up as a delicious Moroccan reminiscent for the guests of the evening. Having the Atai, a green tea made with tea leaves and mint as the refreshing welcome drink would not only be healthy but very Moroccan too!
5. The dress: Kaftans comprise an essential component of the customary Moroccan attire. These are long tops, usually with length till a little below the knee with lose, hanging sleeves. Accommodating the traditional sleeves of the kaftans into the bride’s pure white wedding gown would be a sporty Moroccan wedding dress for the evening.
6. For the aesthetics: Located in the dunes of the magnanimous Sahara desert, the country is home to a large number of snake charmers who practice snake charming for a living. Book an area at the venue and have a snake charmer amaze the guests with his magical skills. Besides, the sweet melody of the harp would be a delightful symphony playing in the background.
7. Return gift: Carpet and rug-making form pillars of the small scale industry in Morocco wherein women often weave their own carpets for their dowry. How amazing would it be to gift your friends and family a woolly rug or a medium sized carpet as a token of love and gratitude and have them keep you in their thoughts whenever they look at it?
Well, here we come to the end of your first hand guide for a Morocco-inspired wedding. Fun fact, weddings in Morocco are more like festival weddings. So, why invest in a destination wedding, when you can marry the Moroccan way in your home country? Happy wedding!
