Part I: Setting the Scene

Hosting a summer barbecue or pool party is fun for us all; however, coming up with an exciting theme party idea will surprise and delight your guests. Choosing an unusual theme, such as a Moroccan Midsummer Night’s Dream, is a refreshing change from your typical summer affair, and the first step to planning your Moroccan-themed event is to set the scene.

Important Elements to Consider When Setting the Scene

Location and décor are the two most important elements to consider when setting the scene for your Moroccan event. Once you have decided upon the ideal location for your party, such as a hotel, restaurant, or even your own home, transforming this venue with décor can be a trying task. Thankfully, do-it-yourself décor is a simple and inexpensive decorating option that will set the theme for your Moroccan Midsummer Night’s party.

Create a Moroccan Vibe with Themed Décor

  Incorporating leather poufs and low couches for seating will create a truly Moroccan vibe at your event. Some of the best ways to decorate for a Moroccan Midsummer Night’s Dream theme include: bringing in bright and colorful pillows, adding low tables covered with Moroccan linens and floral or lantern centerpieces, draping the ceiling and walls, and hanging lanterns.

Embellishing on-hand furniture, such as setting out brass trays on low tables, is a budget-wise and resourceful way to introduce Moroccan décor at your venue. For even more Moroccan decorating tips check out a Moroccan Decor Pinterest Board .
