Read on if you want to see our top 5 ideas and recommendations for how to have an authentic outdoor wedding with bespoke Moroccan decor elements.

1. Traditional Moroccan Lanterns

Moroccan lanterns are a staple in creating a magical wedding ambiance. These traditional lanterns, with their intricate metalwork and colourful glass will add a warm and romantic glow to your outdoor ceremony. You can hang them from trees, have them line your wedding aisle with them, or cluster them around the altar to enhance the enchanting atmosphere.

2. Moroccan Rugs and Textiles

Incorporate vibrant Moroccan rugs and textiles to add authentic patterns and textures to your outdoor wedding. You can have the rugs as your wedding aisle, displayed in an arch for your guests to stand on or to play a role in your wedding reception for relaxing and cosy lounge areas. These colourful textiles can be added to any wedding decor as they come in such a variety of colours.

3. Wedding table details

Add a touch of Morocco to your wedding reception table by incorporating traditional trinkets or authentic decor pieces such as camels, carved wooden or marble napkin rings or items you have sourced from the local market. It is such a fun idea to shop for these decor details in the souks and handmade market stalls in the Marrakech Medina.

4. Moroccan-Style Furniture

Enhance your ceremony space with Moroccan-style furniture for that authentic atmosphere and vibe. Engraved wooden screens could be used for a backdrop to your ceremony or entranceway along with traditional Moroccan pouffes for comfortable seating for your guests. Low wooden tables are perfect for a cosy relaxing corner or for a Moroccan tea station which is always a hit with family and friends.

5. Intricate Moroccan Tile Accents

If you love the colours and designs of Moroccan interior design, then you might get inspired by traditional tile designs that you would find in Riads across the country. You can incorporate these artistic touches by adding these designs as coasters or charger plates on your reception table or on your wedding cake. The bold patterns and vibrant colours of Moroccan tiles will make your wedding decor unique and memorable.
