Bride and groom walking across desert

Today’s incredible styled shoot has been inspired by the beautiful scenes and culture of Morocco, giving inspiration to anyone looking for a romantic wedding abroad, or even a Moroccan themed wedding in the UK. Stylist Carly Rae, with the help of her incredible creative team, has styled a beautifully romantic wedding shoot, based on the memories that Carly has of Morocco from when she lived there.

We love the way the team have used their own twist and deviated from the traditional bright colours used to portray Morocco, and use pretty creams, blues and metallics to create a summer celebration.

This is such a romantic bridal look in an amazing location… Okay, it’s not actually Morocco, but we bet you wouldn’t even notice!

“After leaving high school I decided I wanted to take a gap year, and during that time off I lived in Morocco where I fell in love with the people, culture, and aesthetics of the country.

“This Moroccan shoot seems to have been a long time coming; it’s a ‘passion project’! I have taken all my fondest memories of the country and turned them into an inspiration shoot for a modern day wedding. These photos were actually taken in California near the Mexico border, as California is home to some endless sand dunes, much like the ones overseas.”
