The boho wedding theme has been popular amoung brides for years and offers sustainable ways to show a couple’s personality through décor. This wedding theme is made for the couples who wants their wedding to be a purposeful gathering and not just another party.

 

What Is A Boho Wedding?

Boho, short for bohemian, is a word used to describe someone artsy and free-spirited, like a modern-day hippie. Boho weddings embrace the best of all things natural and vintage. It combines modern trends with trends of the 60s and 70s. If you want lots of freedom during your wedding planning process, the boho theme is perfect as it encourages mixing textures and colors.

 

The goal of a boho theme is to provide a calm and inviting atmosphere. This type of wedding embraces and incorporates the nature around it. It brings elements of the homey indoors outside, showing that nature is true home.

 

 

Color

Boho weddings incorporate tan and beige mixed with deep or dusty colors. However, couples who want to keep their colors simple and light only use tan, beige, and white. Color combinations for a boho wedding will depend on the season. Fall and Winter boho weddings look best using deeper colors such as terracotta, maroon, and forest green. Spring and Summer weddings look best with lighter colors such as mustard, sage, and dusty pink. These colors can be used interchangeably based upon what the couple decides looks best.

 

Textures

The four most essential textures that should be incorporated into a boho wedding are wood, wicker, lace, and fringe. Wood and wicker will bring a homey vibe to your space, but you also want to include those vintage, free-spirited textures such as lace and fringe. If you’re looking for a way to incorporate color into different textures, think about using velvet and/or stained glass. Velvet looks beautiful in almost any color and is the perfect texture for colder seasons. Stained glass is so unique and can tie in all of your wedding colors.

 

Decor

Donkeys- Take some wedding pictures with a donkey, you won’t regret it. The wedding donkeys started as a Greek tradition where the donkey escorts the bride to the ceremony. Now, wedding donkeys act as photo ops and beer burros. This will add so much character to your wedding photos and your guests will love getting to interact and take pictures with an animal.

Rugs- Remember that one of the goals of a boho wedding is to bring the cozy indoors outside. Whether it’s down the aisle or on the dance floor, rugs are great way to accomplish this and let your guests know that it’s okay to take their shoes off.

Thrifted Pieces- Thrifting décor is the perfect way to add that vintage feel to your boho wedding while mixing different colors and textures. Lots of couples' thrift glassware so their guests have their own unique table set. Also, the textures talked about earlier can easily be found in thrift stores. Give it a shot because, not only is it affordable, it’s a great way to practice sustainability.

 

 

Floral

Boho style wedding florals exchange greenery for statements of pampas grass and dried palm with flowers of different textures, shapes, and sizes. Boho floral arrangements are asymmetrical and put loosley put together giving them a natural appearance. Dried flowers pair well with boho color schemes and add that vintage feel to your wedding. Consider these aspects when designing your arrangment or consulting with your florist and your graunteed to have the perfect boho floral arrangements.

 

 

Venue

Ask yourself these questions when choosing a venue for your boho wedding:

 

Are my wedding colors going to blend into the space?

If forest green is the color of your bridesmaid dresses, avoid getting married in a forest so they don’t blend into the background.

 

Can everyone move freely between indoors to outdoors?

Outdoor spaces are ideal for a boho wedding. However, if you decide to hold the reception indoors, it is best to find a venue that allows guests to move freely inside and outside. This way the nature around your wedding can still be embraced with the practicality of being indoors.

 

Does this place embody the aspects of a bohemian style wedding?

If you’re getting married outdoors, consider your biome. A forest or desert will be a lot more aesthetically pleasing for a boho wedding than getting married in a field of wildflowers or snow. If you are getting married indoors, make sure the venue encapsulates what a bohemian wedding is, cozy, vintage and free-spirited.

 

I found the perfect outdoor wedding venue, but what about rain?

Consider renting a tent. A tent will offer protection from rain and a place to hang arrangements. It’s also the best way to nail that free-spirited aspect of a boho wedding through a venue.
