Their Wedding

Dar Sabra wedding, Marrakech 
A Bold & Joyful Celebration of Love, Culture, and Art by Ranti & Shalom

When London-based couple Ranti and Shalom began dreaming of their wedding day, they knew they wanted something unique—an experience that reflected their Nigerian heritage, their love for bold design, and their shared spirit of adventure. Marrakech, with its vibrant colors, deep-rooted traditions, and soul-stirring atmosphere, was the perfect match.

Nestled in the heart of the Palmeraie, Dar Sabra—a boutique art hotel known for its contemporary design and striking sculpture gardens—offered the ideal canvas for their destination celebration. The venue’s bold architecture and lush grounds provided a stunning contrast to the rich cultural elements woven throughout the weekend.

The Welcome: A Warm Moroccan-Nigerian Embrace

The festivities began with an intimate welcome gathering under the palms, where guests—many of whom had traveled from the UK and Nigeria—were greeted with mint tea, local musicians, and traditional Moroccan sweets. It was the perfect fusion of Moroccan hospitality and Nigerian warmth, setting the tone for a weekend that would be as meaningful as it was joyful.

The Wedding Day: Tradition Meets Contemporary Elegance

The ceremony setup for Ranti and Shalom’s wedding at Dar Sabra was a breathtaking blend of modern minimalism and natural elegance, perfectly reflecting the couple’s contemporary style and the artful essence of their venue.

Set in the heart of Dar Sabra’s sculptural courtyard, the ceremony space featured a central white circular platform, beautifully framed with wild, organic floral arrangements. Lush greenery and vibrant blooms in shades of coral, orange, and blush spilled effortlessly around the base, echoing the natural beauty of the Moroccan landscape while adding a joyful pop of color.

Guests were seated on natural wooden cross-back chairs arranged in a semi-circle around the altar, creating an intimate and inclusive atmosphere. The open-air setting, flanked by tall palms and desert cacti, gave the entire ceremony a serene and elevated energy—warm sun overhead, blue skies above, and the raw beauty of Marrakech as a backdrop.

The symmetry of the architecture, combined with the softness of the floral design, created a perfect balance: artistic yet inviting, structured yet organic. It was the ideal setting for Ranti and Shalom to exchange vows—surrounded by loved ones, nature, and timeless design.

Ranti walked down the aisle in a custom gown that blended minimalist elegance. Her bridal party stunned in coordinated looks with sage color, while Shalom stood proudly in a modern suit. The ceremony, held in the garden surrounded by Dar Sabra’s striking sculptures and olive trees, was heartfelt and deeply personal.

The Reception: Art, Dance & Celebration Under the Stars

As the sun set over the ochre walls of Dar Sabra, the party moved into full swing. A vibrant dinner was served poolside, featuring Moroccan dishes with a twist, Nigerian delicacies, and curated cocktails that paid tribute to both cultures.

The atmosphere was electric. Afrobeat rhythms and Moroccan drums blended seamlessly as guests danced late into the night under strings of fairy lights and North African lanterns. The décor mixed contemporary floral design with bold color palettes and elegant touches—mirroring the couple’s personal style and the fusion of cultures at the heart of their celebration.
