MOROCCO
Marrakech has hosted celeb weddings for the likes of Poppy Delevingne and Dianna Agron but the Red City, as it is known, is also an affordable, exotic option for those who don’t have a superstar budget. Check out the Royal Mansour for a series of individually designed riads (traditional Moroccan houses) or venues in the surrounding Atlas Mountains which can be found through boutiquesouk.com

Aside from the wedding, there is loads to do in and around Marrakech. The city abounds with souks where you will find everything from gold to ceramics; the foodie scene is rich with both traditional and international cuisine as well as great street food; and a trip out of the city to the mountains is obligatory.

Weddings can be held at the Royal Mansour.

Take a sunset camel ride – how romantic.
Sit down to dinner at the all-female run Al Fassia.

Take a day trip to the spectacular Ouzoud Falls.
Discover Moorish palaces with a private half day tour.

Make sure you try spiced tea and pastries from a street vendor.
Traditional souks are like brightly coloured Aladdin’s caves.
