Moroccan Sunset Wedding Inspiration at The Big Fake Wedding San Diego
There are few things in life as breathtaking as sunsets – particularly the cotton candy skies that set amidst the sand dunes and riads of Morocco. So naturally, this exotic storybook scene served as inspiration for The Big Fake Wedding San Diego a few weeks ago. Local California wedding vendors of every type (including a donut cart!) came together in creative pursuit as they connected with real couples and showed off their skills in real time at The Sandbox . So sit back, relax and maybe play a bit of Arabian Nights in the background as you peruse this delicious Moroccan sunset wedding inspiration below.
You’re probably familiar with The Big Fake Wedding, a staple of the wedding community for many years as a leading bridal showcase that steers clear of convention. Couples get to experience a pretend wedding from ceremony to dance party reception so that they’re immersed right in the action – because who wants to look at pamphlets when they can get a feel for a potential vendor and their style right then and there?!
Custom builds are always a highlight of modern weddings – and this marigold and rust paneled backdrop by BLOOMS Design House is the living proof! Adorned with wild greenery to add a lush energy to the space, this wedding ceremony with floor poufs and oriental rugs is the definition of elevated comfort.
The warm desert tones were a major highlight of the day – from sahara to sage to hazelnut, you just can’t beat this moody look!
Honey, honey, how you thrill me – uh, huh! Honey, honey! Okay great ABBA song aside, honey is always a sweet addition to the day, and we could not adore these petite honey place cards from Mollybellink more.
Vibrant ombre HEAVEN in this modern bohemian table installation with mixed pendants and Moroccan lanterns.
Always love the look of these floor cushions and low tables! They inspire so much togetherness and relaxed energies.
Simply Adina Floral is a texture QUEEN. Just look at this wispy bridal bouquet with dyed + dried blooms in the perfect balance of whimsy and timeless.
Friend, if you love these desert wedding vibes, check out this cheesecloth backdrop idea here (with a full DIY process to boot)!
