As artists in the 19th century, the bohemians are well known for being free-spirited dreamers who are heavily inspired by art, beauty and nature. The boho wedding trend most definitely reflects their carefree land romantic lifestyle, with emphasis placed on creating a fun but relaxed atmosphere.
If a boho wedding sounds like something you and your partner would enjoy, have a look below at some of the ways you can plan a perfect bohemian wedding:
Your Inspiration
The beautiful thing about boho is its simplicity, you can have as many embellishments or as few as you want. There are most certainly no rules for the boho couple; you can draw from many themes and incorporate any details that you like. It’s all about being non-conformist and carefree meaning no boho wedding is like the next.
This does mean that you run the risk of things going off track easily and very quickly. The key is to keep the styling mismatched and stylish not messy and busy. You need to decide what boho means to you.
Embracing Nature
When it comes to boho you need to be able to embrace the outdoors; you will find intimate venues with a ‘close-to-nature’ feel are perfect for this theme. Picture farms, backyards, private estates, open fields, woodland, beaches and parks especially if you want to have the ceremony and reception at the same venue. You can dress your ceremony with natural elements that include flowers, shells, cushions, sheer drapes and foliage to help get the Boho feel.
Get Creative
Boho allows your creative juices to flow. They’re designed to be perfectly imperfect. Keep your colours romantic with natural influences throughout. Traditionally, bohemians decorated and dressed with whatever they could find, so embrace your inner ‘do it yourself’ vibe and add handcraft the finer details. You could dress your venue with fairy lights and flowers handpicked from the garden and instil this into your bouquet too. To add a bit of flair to your boho wedding why not include some lanterns and candles as centrepieces on your tables.
Your Look
To continue the boho vibe throughout your wedding you will want to make sure the bridal party are dressed for the occasion. Think loose, unstructured hair with added dried flowers. Dresses in lace or chiffon which suit the boho theme perfectly. The groomsmen can keep it simple with khakis and loose shirts which are less formal than a traditional suit. For the bride, you want to try to keep it uncomplicated and as natural looking as possible, it’s a good idea to do some research and look into bohemian wedding dress ideas. To match try barely-there makeup, a flower crown and delicate jewellery. As for shoes, they’re completely optional, in fact, Boho is the queen of no footwear, you could even add an anklet as a different piece of jewellery.
