Harriet & Rayan | Three Days at Beldi Country Club
Harriet and Rayan celebrated their Beldi Country Club wedding in Marrakech over three days: a welcome dinner, the wedding day, then a brunch and pool party. Their guests stayed together from the first drinks in the garden to the last afternoon by the water.
The welcome dinner
Harriet and Rayan gathered their guests at Beldi Country Club for the first evening. There were drinks in the garden, conversations around the tables and time for the two of them to slip away for a few portraits. As daylight faded, lanterns lit the dinner.
Getting ready
The next morning began in the bedrooms. Harriet had her hair and makeup finished while her dress hung nearby. Rayan adjusted his bow tie with help from a friend, then joined the others outside. Before the ceremony, the two of them met in the courtyard, with Harriet’s train spread behind her.
The ceremony and the gardens
Musicians accompanied the gathering before everyone took their seats. Harriet and Rayan stood beside white flowers, facing their guests. Smiles gave way to applause as they walked back down the aisle together. Afterwards, they wandered through the gardens for portraits among the roses and under the trees.
Dinner and dancing
The tables were set beneath the lanterns, with candles and glassware catching the light. Later, Harriet and Rayan cut their tall wedding cake, surrounded by friends with phones raised. Harriet changed into an embroidered caftan and was carried above the crowd in an amariya. The dance floor filled again, with embraces, raised arms and plenty of laughter.
The brunch and pool party
On the third day, everyone met again for brunch at the Beldi. Straw hats and sunglasses replaced the wedding outfits. After lunch, guests moved towards the pool: some stayed in the shade, others climbed onto the inflatables or joined their friends in the water. There was still an afternoon to spend together.
