Destination Wedding at BE Agafay in Morocco’s Agafay Desert
Fai and Brad’s Destination Wedding
In the heart of Morocco’s Agafay Desert—where the golden dunes stretch endlessly beneath a wide, cinematic sky—Fai and Brad hosted a destination wedding that honored both heritage and modern love. From a regal bridal entrance in traditional Moroccan attire to a sunset dinner surrounded by desert silence and soft florals, their wedding at BE Agafay was a masterclass in luxury, meaning, and atmosphere.
A Traditional Moroccan Bridal Entrance
Fai's day began not just with preparation, but with reverence. Wearing an intricately embroidered white and gold caftan, she was carried in a traditional Moroccan amaria—a golden bridal carriage—surrounded by musicians and attendants dressed in ceremonial attire.
The setting: a Berber rug-lined platform at the edge of the desert, where the ancient tradition met modern styling and storytelling. It was a moment that honored the past, embraced the present, and set the tone for a day of beauty, depth, and celebration.
A Ceremony Framed by the Desert
Fai changed into a minimalist, modern white gown for the ceremony—a soft contrast against the sculptural landscape of the Agafay Desert. Brad met her at the altar, which sat at the edge of a stone pool framed by delicate white and peach florals.
With rolling dunes behind them and only the sound of wind and water around, their vows felt sacred and cinematic. It was a quiet kind of luxury—one that needed no architecture, only landscape and love.
Sunset Portraits in the Sand
As the light shifted and the dunes turned gold, Fai and Brad wandered into the desert for portraits that felt more like paintings. She wore a second gown—delicately beaded and sheer, catching every ounce of light. The images captured during this hour were some of the most powerful: emotion-forward, intimate, and suspended in the softness of the Moroccan landscape.
Dinner at Dusk: A Desert Feast Under the Sky
As night fell, a long dinner table was set directly on the earth—draped in fine lace, flanked by gold chairs, and adorned with creamy florals and crystal glassware. Surrounded by silence, stars, and the vastness of the desert, guests toasted to Fai and Brad’s union with champagne in hand and joy in their eyes.
The styling was luxurious but unforced. The menu featured modern Moroccan dishes and fresh ingredients, served with elegant restraint. Every moment felt curated but never contrived.
