Get Inspired by Morocco for Your Wedding
A Moroccan wedding theme is great for a fun, whimsical wedding with an oriental Middle Eastern touch. You don’t have to be Moroccan or marry a Moroccan guy or gal to enjoy this vibrant wedding theme; anyone in love with this culture can opt for it.
What we like about a Moroccan wedding is that the possibilities are endless, and you can do most of the decoration yourself, if you are a handy DIY person, which can save you a lot of money.

Moroccan weddings are vibrant, multi-day celebrations that blend cultural heritage with grand festivities. The ceremonies often begin with the Moroccan wedding henna night, where the bride's hands and feet are painted with intricate designs. The wedding day itself is a dazzling event featuring luxurious kaftans, traditional music, and elaborate feasts that bring families together in a joyous union.
When it comes to Moroccan wedding decorations, the setting is nothing short of magical. Couples looking for Moroccan wedding decoration ideas often incorporate colored fabrics, intricate lanterns, and ornate carpets to create an opulent ambiance. From candlelit pathways to lavish table settings, Moroccan wedding decor is all about creating a warm, elegant, and authentic atmosphere that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage.
You can include Moroccan touches in all your wedding details. For example, let's start with your Moroccan wedding invitations; you can have beautiful Moroccan-inspired patterns on them. As far as the decoration is concerned, consider lanterns of various shapes and sizes, cushions, and colored glass, all in orange, pink, and red colors, or simply in neutral colors or copper.
How about a Moroccan zaffa to complement the theme? Dance to the music of beautiful Moroccan tunes.
And for the sweet treats, go for a Moroccan wedding cake, a chocolate buffet, or an oriental dessert of scrumptious Arabic sweets served with delicious Moroccan tea.
To send your guests away with a memento of your wedding, consider Moroccan wedding favors. We recommend colorful bracelets and traditional Moroccan slippers as wedding favors!

Moroccan-Inspired Wedding Invitations
Set the tone for your Moroccan celebration with Moroccan wedding invitations that reflect the rich visual heritage of the region.
Think intricate geometric patterns, mosaic tiles, arabesque motifs, and calligraphy printed in gold or bronze foil. Use deep, jewel-toned colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, or burnt orange on textured paper or laser-cut designs that mimic Moroccan screens. Add tassels or wax seals for a luxurious finishing touch.
Moroccan Wedding Decor & Styling
Moroccan wedding decor is all about warmth, elegance, and ornate detail. Layered textiles, rich color palettes, lanterns, poufs, and low seating arrangements instantly create an exotic ambiance.
Use patterned rugs as aisle runners, hang brass lanterns and fairy lights above the dinner area, and decorate tables with mosaic tiles, colored glassware, and oversized floral arrangements featuring roses, pampas grass, and eucalyptus.
The Moroccan Wedding Cake
A Moroccan-themed wedding cake is a work of art, often echoing the intricate detailing of Moroccan tilework or zellige (a style of mosaic tilework made from individually hand-chiseled tile pieces).
Opt for a multi-tiered cake adorned with gold piping, hand-painted patterns, or even sugar tiles.
Traditional flavors such as almond, orange blossom, and dates can be incorporated into the sponge or fillings, offering both beauty and authenticity.
Bridal Fashion with Moroccan Flair
For brides wanting to incorporate Moroccan elements into their attire, a modern twist on the traditional caftan is ideal.
Rich fabrics like silk and velvet with hand-embroidered details, gold threading, and ornate belts create a regal look.
Consider a second bridal outfit for the reception—a Moroccan takchita or a jeweled headpiece inspired by Amazigh (Berber) heritage.
