I want to have a Moroccan or Asian themed wedding. I have always been inspired by these cultures and this is something I want to do. Is this going to be offensive to the people in those cultures? My fiance's grandfather speaks fluent chinese and has done business with chinese business men for over 40 years. He has many chinese friends that have become close to everyone in the family. They are kind and sweet people, we always look forward to seeing them at Christmas and other times of the year. As far as the Moraccan theme, I'm leaning more towards that because of the fabrics, colors, music, food, etc. However, I do know how happy grandpa will be if we did a chinese theme.
The reason I'm asking in the first place is because I went to a moroccan and asain website for weddings and I didn't see one caucasion couple. It kind of felt like they don't want others to celebrate the way their culture does because that is their tradition and I completely understand! I only want to decorate and use color palettes etc. I wouldn't be doing the ceremonies that they do.
So if someone can give me some good advice because I'm under A MAJOR TIME CRUNCH & on a ridiculous budget...we're basicaly eloping and only bringing our very closest family and friends. Any advice on anything will help!
As far as eloping...we're thinking Tahoe, at this point...that's where I've found the BEST deals on elopement pkgs. and DIY whatever...I need help with an inexpensive but GORGEOUS reception. I'M a lost soul...like I said thank goodness I'm creative! Please help and let me know what you think about the theme! I like to be different!
