Events Made In Heaven
FROM PARISIEN SKY TO MOROCCAN STARS
Khaoula & Florent
The couple wanted to blend their respective cultures into the wedding.They opted for a boho-chic theme at the Olive Grove in Marrakech. Their priority was to unite all their friends and family “A la bonne franquette” whilst incorporating their favourite Moroccan traditions. We went for a very simple and tasteful table setting. We decorated the wooden tables with earthy tones, ring shaped stoneware vases filled with pampas grass and simple sprigs of lavender for a touch of the grooms South of France origins.The candles carefully set all along the walls around the tables added a pinch of magic to their setting and created the most spectacular setting for their intimate and touching ceremony.
The bride dressed in a gorgeous embroidered, embellished white kaftan coupled with splended jewels and the groom in his classic suave brown suit. They were both carried in a green amaria, (green symbolising good luck) The groom’s favourite smile was plastered all over his new bride’s face the entire day and night . Their guests sang and delivered heartfelt speeches. The laughs could be heard from afar. Later in the evening, the percussionists and DJ carried the newlyweds and their guests into the night with amazing beats and music. Just as they started their love story, The beginning of their first chapter as newlyweds began with that first dance under the stars of Marrakesh.
The Wedding Preparation
The bride and groom wanted their guests to experience their love for Morocco and add a nod to modern America, where they reside and first set eyes on each other. Throughout the celebrations, they wanted inclusive, fun and colourful decor. The groom wanted Blue as one of the main colours to incorporate into the wedding theme. With this in mind, we got to work and designed a picturesque wedding arch to fit seamlessly within the botanic lush gardens of Palais Ronsard.
The star of the arrangement was the Hortensia flower, a genus of over 75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. Two carefully selected cerulean and sky blue variations were used amidst orange, ruby and white roses that were carefully placed in a generous lush of green to create a dynamic arch (and personal favourite).
The wedding reception was at the famous Basin area of the Palais Ronsard. We emptied the basin on both sides so that we could build the centrepiece in the middle of it. We were able to design this so that it could be used as a stage and dance floor at the centre of all the tables. This created an outstanding and one-of-a-kind layout for all the couple’s loved ones to be able to look up adoringly at their idyllic first dance.
The reception dinner was interrupted by the pitter-patter of rain. Always prepared for this unlikely visitor (even in Morocco). We were able to swiftly move the dinner inside and continue the party until dawn. Nothing could stop this couple and their exhilarated family and friends from having the time of their lives at this unforgettable fairytale wedding.
Rain at a wedding signifies good luck and that the marriage will last! Though it was clear to anyone present that the beaming, laughing and dancing newlyweds won’t need any ‘signs of luck’ for their very own happily ever after, only each other.
