From Michael Daigian Design…A modern couple held their ceremony in their living room and their reception was out on their back deck in Marin, CA. The ceremony was a fusion of Zen with touches of Moroccan details, with the couples collection of sculptures and artwork mixed in with lanterns and scattered lavender. The reception was full of life and color with Moroccan tents, bangles and hair flowers for the women and bold linens. A unique design combination that turned out wonderful.

Meghan & Ben were such fun to work with. An East Coast Boy and a West Coast Girl, we helped them blend their styles to create an elegant hip wedding at the beautiful private Hideaway Golf Club in La Quinta, CA. The November weather couldn’t have been better for the fete as 250 guests dined and danced under the stars after the sun set over the palm trees. The bride was in Vera Wang and the groom in Calvin Klein. They were married under a lavish Huppah covered with three generations of Talus, by the same husband and wife team of judges that married the brides parents!

The variety of square, round and feasting tables were fabulously adorned by Gilly Flowers and Events, with a Moroccan Tropic theme. To the side of the food stations, Gilly created an Oasis Tent / Sand Playground for the children to play in!

As guests departed they took away biscotti favors made by the bride’s mother.

The Story From Katrina and Andrew, Sedona Bride:

Tara and Micah are both anthropologists and share a love of Morocco. That proved to be the inspiration for their magnificent wedding décor. A semi-traditional Jewish ceremony was held underneath an Aspen-wood chuppah. Decorative etched and colored glass votives with palm leaves adorned the cocktail tables and fireplace. Brilliantly colored Moroccan style sock lamps hung on the perimeter of the cocktail hour terrace. Metal Moroccan lanterns added warmth and ambience to the already beautiful space. A signature engagement book with images taken by Sedona Bride was proudly displayed. Table centerpieces consisted of decorative lamps, colored-glass votives, spices, citrus fruits and flowers typical of Morocco, all sprinkled liberally around the center … and uniquely shaped perfume bottles with elaborate cork tops. Tables were named after cities in Morocco (Rabat, Marrakesh, Merzouga,etc.). Their guests favors were stunning traditional Moroccan perfume bottles. All of the fabulous décor and florals were designed by Events by Showstoppers. The cake … oooh the cake … details were made by pressing an eastern fabric textile pattern stamp onto soft cake fondant, and then hand-painted with edible cake paint. The cake was enveloped in a Moroccan-style tent/canopy.

Tara and Micah were married on May 18th, 2008. Family and friends came to Sedona from literally all over the world. Because Tara has spent so much time in Morocco, the cocktail hour and reception followed an amazing Moroccan theme. Just stepping into the reception area was like entering a new world, with amazing and vibrant colors! The fabulous Liz Margin worked her magic on the makeup. Andrea Blaut made the **amazing** Moroccan style cake. Jim, Ken, and their team at Events by Showstoppers made the chuppah for the ceremony, and orchestrated the fabulous Moroccan themed floral and decor for the cocktail hour and reception.
