A Moroccan dinner party is always a delicious treat! It might sound daunting, but many traditional recipes are really quite easy. That goes for the table decor too! Many Moroccan dishes are one-pot meals AND often times, no silverware required! So setting this type of table can be super simple. But just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it can’t look festive! Easy embellishments and plenty of color and pattern can be achieved with mixing & matching what you might have. And if you feel like purchasing one or two authentic looking serving pieces, it’s easier than ever to find choices online! You can try floor cushions around a coffee table which would be very authentic…but a typical dining table with chairs is perfectly acceptable too! Because my husband lived in Morocco as a child, we often enjoy some of his favorites on a regular basis at a no-frills table. When we share them with friends we typically like to dress it up a tad to enhance the atmosphere. Today I’d love to show some simple ways we decorate our table…
