Marrakesh destination wedding

Marrakesh is a magical & authentic, has desirable weather almost all year long. Alexandre and Nab have chosen to celebrate their union at the sublime Villa Taj Marrakesh, and tell us about their love story, why they chose Morocco, and their fabulous wedding at Villa Taj Marrakesh captured by photographer Coraline Salgueiro. destinations weddings » dans l´article sur le mariage fine art.

De plus en plus de couples, séduits par une culture locale riche et un temps souvent clément, choisissent de célébrer leur union hors des frontières. Alexandre et Nab ont choisi de célébrer leur mariage au Maroc: Ils nous racontent leur histoire d´amour, pourquoi ils ont choisi Marrakesh, et leur fabuleux mariage à la Villa Taj Marrakesh capturé par la photographe Coraline Salgueiro.
Nab & Alexandre: the love story
{ Morocco real wedding } Nab tells : “We met 10 years ago in a cafe in which I worked in parallel with my studies. Alexandre was a regular customer and we always got along well. He was the opposite of my ideal man and vice versa. I even tried to introduce him to two of my friends (who became my bridesmaids, which makes us all laugh a lot today). We only really discovered ourselves at the end of my studies, when I was leaving for a new adventure in Australia. Before my departure, we said goodbye with a heavy heart trying to close this parenthesis of our life, without knowing if we would meet again since we never know where this kind of adventure takes us. Finally, I will only stay 2 weeks instead of the 6 months planned trip. Something told me to come back. Since we met again at Charles de Gaulle airport, we never left each other. If our story had a title it would be "love at first sight, later".
The choice of the wedding venue
{ Morocco real wedding } We dreamed from the start of an intimate wedding with only a few guests in a sunny country. When we got engaged, we realized that our guest's list went up to 200 guests. Together with Alexandre, we agreed to go back to our first idea of an intimate wedding that was meaningful. By surfing the Internet and typing “sunny destination wedding” on Google, Alexandre stumbled across pictures of the Villa Taj Marrakech. We had such a crush that we believed it was a fake! Marrakech was not our first choice but the villa convinced us right away. Close to France, a sunny destination, refined decoration, positive reviews, a dream on each picture. A villa with huge gardens,19 rooms with 54 beds, to accommodate all our guests in the same venue.

The decoration
{ Morocco real wedding } The decorations proposed by the Villa Taj Marrakech team immediately convinced us. Lots of flowers, natural elements such as wood, tasteful settings to make the place and the moment magical. Everything was perfect: from the evening dinner under the olive trees to the cocktail under the tent, including brunch and the ceremony. Our talented photographer Coraline Salgueiro captured all these beautiful details. Our wedding photos are just breathtaking!
The wedding ceremony under the olive trees
{ Morocco real wedding } The ceremony was very emotional: we wrote it together with Alexandre. The fact that our daughter Naëlle was present this very special day was very meaninful. From music to the speeches of our loved ones, the ceremony was in our image. In addition, the ceremony setting was magical and decorated with taste and elegance. It was almost unreal. I wore a wedding dress from the brand Grace loves Grace accessorized with Britten Weddings Headpiece.
