Imagination Board – Moorish Imagination

Drawing on the rich colors, structures and ornate designs of the Moor. Spending the week in L.A., reminded me of how much I love architecture. Rich Spanish influence is found in building all over the L.A. area. Much of that rich cultural influence stems back to a time of the Moors rule in Spain. From mosaics to arches, influences of the Middle East and northern African countries are dominant in Spanish architecture.


Today’s imagination boards stems from that architectural beauty pulling from Moors and Morocco designs to meld jewel tones and ornate structures into a party of delight.

If you want to go for the traditional white dress, check out this white kaftan. But my absolute favorite is photographed here by Amna Hakim. Such a striking beauty the bride is in her light blue green, brown and ivory kaftan. I just love the amethyst with jade color jewel as a beginning color palate. It is reflected in the lanterns and candles in the upper right hand corner. The poufs and the lantern add an authentic Moroccan flair to the entire event.
