4. Wedding Attire

Don’t be afraid to wear a traditional Moroccan wedding outfit during your wedding. This could be for your welcome party, rehearsal dinner or in the evening on your wedding day. As local Moroccan wedding planners, we offer advice as to where you can shop for your Moroccan outfit, what accessories you need as a bride and recommendations for local and trusted seamstresses and craftsmen to complete your bridal look.

You can even encourage your guests to embrace your Moroccan theme by suggesting they wear traditional outfits too!

A Moroccan themed wedding is incomplete without a feast of traditional Moroccan cuisine and delicacies. Serve a variety of dishes such as tagines, couscous, and pastilla so your guests can taste the rich flavours of Morocco. Complement your wedding festivities with a Moroccan tea man, serving mint tea “ Attay” to your guests in an elaborate tea ceremony, adding a touch of cultural elegance.

6. Traditional Customs - Henna Party

Plan a henna party for the bride and bridal party before the wedding day, where intricate henna designs can be applied as a symbol of beauty and luck. Include music, entertainment and sweet treats to enjoy this event before the wedding day with your friends and family.

7. Entertainment

Enhance the atmosphere of your Moroccan themed wedding with authentic and local entertainment. This could be belly dancers, traditional Moroccan musicians such as Gnawa, Dekka Marrakchia, Ahwash, berber band …etc , to perform during your event. For the evening you could dazzle your guests with acrobats, fire dancers or a bespoke firework display.
