How about getting married in Morocco?

Getting married in Morocco is a very cost effective versus the UK and a big wow factor from the setting, entertainment, decor and weather.

Rosena McKeown wedding planner at Boutique Souk says, “a big trend for 2012 is rustic chic weddings in unusual settings surrounded by nature. In Morocco we have venues in the Marrakech palm grove, coast and of course at the desert. Our tented camp overlooking the Lake Lalla Takerkoust close to Marrakech is a beautiful setting. A ceremony with the sun setting on the lake is stunning, followed by a berber tented reception and dancing under the stars surrounded by lanterns and open fires- an unforgettable wedding!”

We regularly use camels in the ceremony, with grooms arriving by camel and brides carried in traditional Moroccan ‘Amari’ thrones or the couple ‘leaving’ the ceremony on 2 camels with a ‘just married’ sign on their rear – a great photo-opportunity!

Say `I do’ on deck: Star Clippers offers sunset marriage blessing

Image
Combining the romance of sail with a spectacularly romantic ocean setting, Star Clippers is offering the opportunity for a sunset marriage blessing on the upper deck of the company's four-masted `Star Clipper’ or `Star Flyer’ and the five-masted `Royal Clipper’, conducted by the ship’s captain, attended by uniformed crew. The blessing can be arranged on Star Clipper voyages in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Central America and the romance starts when honeymoon guests are welcomed on board with champagne and fruit basket in their cabin. The recreation of these graceful 19th century style clipper ships for modern-day sailing voyages was the inspiration of a Swedish businessman, Mikael Krafft, whose first two vessels, Star Flyer and Star Clipper, were the first true clipper ships to be built since 1910, recreating the golden age of sail when square-rigged trading `clipper’ ships would race one another across the world’s great oceans as they delivered passengers and cargo to the w
