Escape to Morocco With This Wedding Built for Two

If you have your sights set on a destination wedding, then Morocco is about to shoot to the top of that list. Guaranteed. Bright colors, dream desert landscapes and local flavor are all layered within this celebration built for two with florals by Remi + Gold and stunning paper goods by Boarding School Collective. Get inspired for a gorgeous desert riad escape through the images of Sophie Epton.

From Sophie Epton Photography… At the very North end of Africa lies Morocco- one of the most magical countries in the world. And none more beautiful, mysterious and intoxicating than the city of Marrakech. The hustle and bustle of city medina and its mazes, the pinky peach crumbling walls, the incredible installations of zellige tiles shimmering like jewels, the rows of colorful wool rugs and carved wood furniture, the amazing doorways leading to the next adventure, and the expansive deserts surrounding the city that make you feel like you are in another world. For our elopement inspiration in Marrakech, we wanted to illustrate how this place could serve as the most incredible backdrop for an elopement for any couple wanting to marry in a unique, adventurous way, and a wedding that can break all the rules! To begin, our couple Chayma and Youssef started off their day at sunrise with a “first look” in the Agafay Desert, the most picturesque, vast landscape right outside of Marrakech. Chayma looked absolutely stunning in her Tatyana Merenyuk gown, complete a gorgeous Susie Saltzman pear ring design and flowing cape that picked up the wind perfectly for their shots, while Youssef recreated the classic “Casablanca” Humphrey Bogart look modernized from the Black Tux. We then headed to a private riad in the center of the medina. Chayma changed into a marvelous, intricate Claire Pettibone gown that truly complimented the artisan tilework covering every square inch of the riad juxtaposed and glowing rose-colored rooftop, adding such stunning scenery for both an intimate ceremony and romantic dinner experience. Twyla with Remi and Gold did the most amazing job sourcing florals for two days, picking up everything from bougainvillea trees from nurseries to garden roses from flower markets, creating the most lush, vibrant kaleidoscope of florals seen throughout the entire day. And Boarding School Collective created so many fantastic touches of their written art- from the Moroccan-tile inspired watercolor invite suite to the lucite menu to the linen chair drapings painted with “Habibi” (husband/ wife) that added such a personal touch and story to the elopement. While traditional weddings are one of lives’ best celebrations, we wanted to feature the idea that traveling elopements can allow a couple who have a soft spot for wanderlust and a love of adventure the chance to celebrate their union in an intimate way that truly speaks to their own hearts and experience. And when you add Morocco to the mix.. Well it doesn’t get any better than that!

Have You Ever Seen a Wedding in the Desert?

We’re taking a little trip for today’s wedding from 2 Brides Photography… not to an island, not to a vineyard or a coastal locale, but to the desert! Marrakech to be exact, and darlings, it’s dreamy as ever. See? Sprinkled with a little boho and a little elegance, we can’t help but gahhh over every bit, including that incredible golden light.

From Isabelle & Sabina of 2 Brides PhotographySofia and Alex’s wedding at La Pause in Marrakech was a vibrant mix of traditional Moroccan vibes and boho laid back charm. Guests from all over the world traveled in to attend the celebrations that took place in the dramatic landscape overlooking the vast Moroccan wilderness.

Following the service, the guest went to the top of the dunes where local musicians played and refreshments were served. Later eveyone wandered down to the oasis where dinner and additional rituals took place and went on until 4 in the morning. It was truly like something out of the fairytale “A Thousand & One Nights”!

This Gorgeous Elopement Captures the Spirit of Morocco

Where to even begin with this Moroccan wedding inspiration, planned and captured by Stefanie Kapra Photography? Inspired by the models, a recently engaged French couple who relocated and opened a guest house in Morocco, Stefanie and a small team of talented vendors created a light, airy, and natural looking elopement that effortlessly combined Western details with the magic of Morocco. You should probably head straight to this gallery, because you’re going to want to pin every insanely gorgeous.

From Stefanie Kapra PhotographyGaby and Alice fell in love with each more than 10 years ago, and as Alice puts it, they “are meant to be together.” When this adventurous French couple first visited Morocco, they were immediately drawn to the unique country and its people. To them, “Morocco is a special country where magic happens in every corner and in every way.” They decided to follow their hearts and dreams, and two years ago they opened a guest house in the Medina of Marrakech.

During their Moroccan journey, they met another inspiring young woman – American born Anouk. She, too, left behind the glam of New York and Paris, where she worked as assistant editor for French Vogue, to follow her dreams in Morocco, where she created Villa Anouk. It can best be described as a magical sanctuary between wild olive trees and stony country roads and is tucked away at the end of a dirt road near the coastal town of Essaouria. Anouk purchased an old and somewhat neglected country house with massive stone walls and turned it into the most beautiful villa you can imagine. Her love for detail and great sense for natural elegance shows in every corner of the fully remodeled villa. Enchanting and brimming with an earthy, boho vibe, the villa embodies tranquillity and is a perfect location to celebrate intimate weddings of nature-loving couples.

When Gaby proposed to Alice, they started planing a full sized wedding in their home country (France) with family and friends. But it was also important to them to celebrate their love and capture some romantic pictures in their new home, Morocco. What place could have been more perfect than their friend’s villa?

This shoot and the beautiful details are a result of great teamwork and an inspiration that truly came from the heart. It was important to everyone to include the magic, soul, and spirit of Morocco, its unique arts, lovely decor, and amazing food, while steering away from the so often seen “One Thousand and One Nights” vibe. Details included the handmade wedding blankets which have a long tradition in Morocco purchased in the Souks, the refreshing fresh mint tea served in a brass teapot, the typical pastries that can be found in every market, and of course the many artisan details of the Villa.

But while it was important to incorporate traditional Moroccan details, this magical Moroccan elopement still has a Western twist. Western elements were effortlessly combined with traditional Moroccan pieces, and so we see Alice in a flowing, traditional white wedding dress with delicate lace details and an open back, and she is carrying a bohemian wild-flower bouquet. Her hair is styled in a loose, soft, and natural yet festive way, perfectly matching the vibe of the Villa. And the swoon-worthy invitations are designed and hand-written by the talented calligrapher, Ana of The Meaningful Script, using natural papers, a golden seal, and brass colored ribbon. This elopement is a perfect example how Moroccan tradition can be perfectly combined with western elegance to create an airy, stylish, natural look for a wedding in this stunning country.

From Kibogo PhotographyFor a film about my work as a destination wedding photographer, I picked the stunning backdrop of the Sahara desert in Morocco. My dear friend Irene was there to shoot portraits of my husband and me, and then I turned the camera on her and used her as my model wearing an ethereal tulle skirt from Noni.

For the location, I chose Kasbah Sahara Services Deluxe Camp which has great service, yummy food, and amazing tents. Hotel Mhamid is located in the last town called Mhamid before entering the desert. That where you leave your rental car and they drive you with a 4-wheeler to the tented camps in the middle of the desert.

The scenery is amazing and so calming. A perfect place to have an elopement or small intimate wedding. At night temperatures dipped down to freezing but during the day a toasty 25 celsius made for great weather to explore the desert. We were there in January, which they say is the coldest month.

Floral Crowns and French Lace, Witness the Ultimate Marrakesh Celebration

If you needed another reason to visit Morocco, this wedding is it. Complete with stunning Marrakech architecture, this celebration is decadently dreamy and thanks to Catherine Mead we’ve got Tommaso and Federica’s day to share. An intimate celebration with 60 of their nearest and dearest (and an unexpected guest!), this is one gallery that you won’t want to miss. See it all in The Vault!

From Catherine MeadTommaso and Federica met seven years ago at her future bridesmaid’s birthday party in Milan. The Italian couple, who live in Dubai, travelled on their first weekend getaway together to Marrakech and quickly fell in love with the city.

After six years together, Tommaso proposed to Federica on her 30th birthday at a Moroccan restaurant in London, in honour of their very first weekend away together to Marrakech. When it came to planning their destination wedding, there was only one city for them!

Federica and Tommaso were joined by 60 of their closest family and friends in Marrakech. They welcomed guests with cocktails around the pool at Riad El Fenn, before getting married the following day, Valentine’s Day, at the Church of Marrakech. Tommaso’s favourite moment from the wedding was watching Federica walk down the aisle with his nephew to the sound of a gospel choir singing Ave Maria.

After the ceremony, guests were greeted at decadent La Mamounia hotel with canapés and rosé champagne. Within the Morrocan tent, inspired by French romance, Marie Antoinette and Moroccan tones, they created an intimate ambience with warm red, orange and pink tones, infused with candlelight.

As a fashion PR, Federica knew the perfect gown for her, pairing a French lace gown by Luisa Beccaria with vibrant yellow Manolos for the wedding, followed by an Alice & Olivia evening dress for dancing. Her lovely mother wore matching Manolo flats in orange to match Federica’s!

Wanting a relaxed, informal wedding, there was no First Dance, but as soon as the musicians started playing, everyone was on their feet!

Magical Moroccan Wedding Under the Stars

This is a kick-your-shoes-off kind of wedding. A let-the-beauty-that-surrounds-you-be-your-decor kind of wedding. And these two embraced every palm tree scene that surrounded them. It’s the kind of wedding we love seeing from Lifestories Wedding—totally real, authentic and fully embracing the love. See more in THE VAULT.

From The Bride…After 10 years together and a little baby, a wedding was definitely the next step. We talked about it millions of times, and we really wanted it to look like us, on every level: gatherings of friends and family together, taking place in a magical place, warm weather, eating good food and partying. It should be possible in France, but the venues have so many restrictions: no dinner outside, with plastic marquise tent, and budget-wise nothing was really fitting.

My step-brother got an awesome opportunity to split the event in 2, one in Paris mostly family-oriented and slightly large and a much more intimate one, friends-orientated and overseas!

Neither Clovis nor I got any foreign specific background, so everything was possible, we just wanted our friends to come without spending all their savings. We quickly decided that Morocco would be the best place: close from France, amazing architecture and foods, and beautiful weather in Spring!

I eventually found Dar-el-Hossun through a social network, and just loved it at first sight. I was really nervous at the beginning that the owner would not accept to fully make the place private and let us organize a wedding. They have never done it before but after few emails and discussion, they totally embraced our project. Olivier at Dar-El-Hossun quickly drew a schedule and a budget, he’s been amazing all along the process.

A Few months later, I went there with a few friends and checked that everything was on track for the 15th of May! Then we went there a few days before everyone with Clovis and our baby boy Auguste, to fine tune the last details. We felt like home right away same as our guests did, the team is so welcoming, it really felt like you’re in your family house for the summer.

The big day was organized outside of the lodge in a stunning Palm Trees field. A special setting was organized for the wedding: ceremony, cocktail and dinner area in the middle of the nature. The ceremony that Clovis’s Brother hosted just had a few readings by close friends, it was so sweet. Dinner-wise, there was an outside kitchen run by locals, hosted under a berbers tent and the stars, and later on we came back to the lodge for the party. It was perfect.

Seriously everything was perfect, I can’t think of one thing that bothered me, but I guess with the great help of Olivier to put everything together, it was much easier. And I mean the fact that it was over few days, it really gives you time to enjoy your guests and spend time with them, I will cherish all those moments all my life, and I’m so glad we choose Yann from Lifestories Wedding Photography, he’s been fabulous and also he just picture perfectly what was the wedding, he made life memories for us!

From the Bride… A wedding is really the most expensive “party” you will ever throw, so we knew from the start that we wanted to have one that reflected our own style and would hopefully stand out and be memorable for us and all our guests! So, although we enjoy traditional weddings – we really wanted something a bit more bespoke that would incorporate our personalities and love of travel. We’ve traveled to Marrakech in the past and loved the fact that we could be somewhere so unbelievably exotic in such a short space of time. We wanted a really laid-back wedding where we could have drinks on the rooftop one minute and be dancing by the pool the next. Although Marrakech isn’t the most obvious destination for many when planning a wedding, it’s actually a fantastic option. The weather is wonderful and the riads and villas are so romantic – with the help of a good planner they can be transformed into really beautiful venues.  After meeting our wedding planners — Rosena and Fred from Boutique Souk — we knew straight away that it would actually be possible to get married in a location like Marrakech because they knew it like the back of their hands, and we were able to put our trust in them completely.

Our initial inspiration for the wedding was to have a very intimate relaxed affair with just our close  family and friends. Something with a sophisticated vibe that incorporated the exoticism of Morocco from the lanterns and carpets with purples, blues and pinks. Darren also wanted to include some Irish elements into the wedding, so our rings and the pocket watch that I gave Darren have Irish engravings. We also used names of Irish horses for the table plan, and I got some old-school bottles of Guinness from the Guinness storehouse in Dublin and had our names and date of the wedding put on them as a surprise for Darren on the day. There were so many highlights throughout the day — from me and the bridesmaids having our hair and makeup done at La Mamounia, to seeing my Dad’s face when he came in to collect me, and simply strolling around the garden just as the sun was setting and seeing all the lanterns and open fires light up. We also had a traditional Gnawa band come up to the roof top terrace during the reception as the sun was going down to sing and play the drums.

It was very important to us to be able to provide a fun, relaxed weekend for people where everything was provided to ensure some of our less-traveled guests felt comfortable and not overwhelmed. Rosena and Fred really understood this and helped us to coordinate the whole weekend. From transfers to welcome drinks to restaurant recommendations, our guests didn’t have to worry about a thing. We felt like we were on a movie set floating from one scene to the next — it was beautifully romantic! Our photographers, White Tea and Hey Day Photo, also suggested having a photo shoot the next day in the centre of Marrakech, which really gives a lasting memory of our Moroccan experience. It was great to get dressed up in our wedding outfits again before taking to the streets for our shoot. We had great fun — the Moroccan people were lovely, all shouting, “Bon mariage!” as we walked by.

From Amy of Amy Kaneko EventsWhen Kristen and Adam began looking for a venue in Palm Springs, they immediately fell in love with the Korakia Pensione. Unlike most venues in Palm Springs, which have a minimalist mid-century aesthetic, the Korakia has an incredibly romantic and eclectic vibe inspired by Morocco and the Mediterranean. And its bungalows and guesthouses are filled with eclectic antiques, which the pair loved. Kristen and Adam booked all 28 rooms on property so their guests could enjoy the intimate grounds all to themselves over the weekend.

Kristen and Adam were married in an intimate stone courtyard in front of 64 of their closest friends and family. A Spanish guitar group played an instrumental version of “In My Life” by the Beatles as the bridal party walked down the aisle. The bride, who descended a sweeping stone staircase to the courtyard, walked down the aisle to “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. They stood in front of a grand, antique Moroccan double door, while guests sat in a mix of vintage folding chairs and long wooden benches. Drinks served in Moroccan tea glasses and colorful woven fans helped guests stay cool in the desert heat. A central stone fountain was simply filled with bougainvillea petals to echo the vines growing around the property. (The fuchsia bougainvillea looked so beautiful in the desert setting that it was used throughout the wedding.)

After the ceremony, the large wooden doors opened, and the bride and groom’s family led the way to the cocktail reception. The decor was kept understated to showcase the natural beauty of the property. Stone ledges were simply decorated with passion vine and gardenias, while an existing fountain was filled with lily pads made of gardenias and succulents. A Polaroid camera guestbook was a hit with the guests, who took snapshots of each other and inserted them next to their messages to the bride and groom. The Spanish guitar group continued playing during cocktail hour, but played more festive music, including their specialty: flamenco fusion. For dinner, guests crossed over to the Mediterranean side of the property, where they sat at 24-foot long tables draped in natural linens. An eclectic mix of rustic wooden and iron garden chairs lent a casual but elegant air. Heirloom LA served a delicious family-style feast, while The Velvet Garden provided a visual feast of stunning flowers. The deep jewel-toned centerpieces were a splash of color and lushness in the otherwise desert surroundings. They incorporated fresh fruit inspired by the Mediterranean, such as blood oranges and grapes, with succulents, exotic leaves and lush flowers. As the sun set, bistro lights strung above cast a warm glow on the tables, and the surrounding palm trees were dramatically lit. A lounge filled with vintage furniture, including rugs and pillows was tucked away in a grove of small trees near the dance floor so guests could sit comfortably on the ground.
