What is a boho wedding?

Boho weddings are a style that have been around for a long time, but have recently regained huge popularity. The look and feel of a boho wedding is very different from a traditional wedding and has its roots in the hippie movement of the 1960s. The word "boho" comes from Bohemia, which was an area in Europe where artists lived during the 19th century. They were known for their relaxed lifestyle and unconventional ways--for example, they didn't follow any rules when it came to fashion or appearance! Today's boho brides take inspiration from these artists by mixing vintage pieces with modern ones to create unique looks that reflect their personalities perfectly.

Planning a Boho Wedding

Boho weddings are all about the unique details. You can have a beautiful venue and a stunning dress, but if your wedding invitations or wedding signage don't match the theme of your wedding, it's going to look like an afterthought. That's why we've put together this guide on how to plan a boho wedding--so you can make sure that everything goes smoothly!

 

Choosing a Wedding Venue

You want somewhere that fits well with both aspects of bohemian style: comfortability as well as creativity/originality. This means looking at different types of venues like outdoor locations versus indoor ones; spaces with high ceilings vs low ones. Many australian country wedding venues are particularly suitable for a bohemian style with a relaxed earthy vibe.

Boho Wedding Attire

Choosing the right attire for the bride and groom and bridal party is an important part of planning a wedding. There are many different options to choose from when it comes to your boho wedding day attire. A popular trend is to wear something traditional but with a boho twist. Think intricate laces and flowing fabrics and remember - the boho bridal look is all about comfort and a relaxed feel. If you're looking for inspiration on how to dress up your wedding party in an unconventional way, here are some ideas:

* For men's suits, try pairing them with suspenders instead of belts or bow ties instead of neckties (or both!).

* For women's dresses, try wearing long flowing skirts - not only will they feel more comfortable but they will still look stylish.

Boho Wedding Decor

Boho weddings are all about the details, and you can make your wedding decor stand out by choosing colors that complement each other. For example, if you're having an autumn boho wedding with burnt orange as one of your main colors, consider adding in some light sage green or pastel brown/beige to complement it. Neutral earthy colour palettes are always a good idea for boho weddings.

Boho weddings also tend to incorporate unique elements like rustic furniture pieces or handcrafted jewelry. If these kinds of things appeal to you as part of the overall look for your big day--then go ahead and incorporate them into whatever aspect(s) of decorating comes naturally! To keep in theme with the relaxed boho vibe try adding in fairy lights or lanterns for a soft mood lighting.

We are proud to offer a full range of Wedding menus, placecards, welcome signage and seating charts to incorporate your boho theme in style at affordable prices.

Boho Wedding Flowers

The blooms you choose can help set the tone for your entire celebration. For example, if you're having an outdoor ceremony in a garden or field with lots of wildflowers growing around it, then consider using those natural elements as part of your decor.

If you want to add some color but don't want to go overboard with too much greenery, try pairing up a few bright blooms with neutral natives and dried foliage for a rustic colour palette. Whatever look suits both yourself and your venue best will help create an ambiance that fits perfectly within both worlds: boho chic meets rustic elegance. And don’t forget to incorporate your chosen florals into your flowercrown or hairstyle for some really extra boho-chic!

Boho Wedding Favors

Wedding favors are always a great way to add that extra touch of personality to your special day and thank your guests for celebrating with you. You can make them yourself or purchase unique items from Etsy, but either way you'll want to choose something that reflects your style and personality as a couple. Paper Divas personalised gift tags or stickers in a bohemian theme are the perfect way to turn a generic Wedding bonbonniere into a personalised wedding keepsake your guests will treasure.

Here are some ideas for boho wedding favors:


* Miniature terrariums with succulents and moss (make sure they're small enough to fit in the guest's bags).

* Handmade candles in glass jars with natural wicks made from cotton string (you can even include a note about how these candles were made).

* Jewelry boxes filled with chocolates or other treats (like tea bags or coffee beans).

Boho Wedding Cakes

Boho weddings are all about being unique and original, so why not go for a wedding cake that reflects that? Here are some ideas for creating the perfect boho-style wedding cake:


* Choose flavors that reflect your personality. If you're into spicy foods and bold flavors, consider choosing a spicy chocolate cake or a sweet potato pie flavor. If you're more of an old-fashioned romantic, try something like strawberry shortcake or peach cobbler. The possibilities are endless!

* Instead of using traditional flowers as decoration on top of your cake, opt for a semi-naked cake featuring natural foliage and fresh berries or figs.

Boho Wedding Music
Choose songs that reflect your personality and style. If you love folk music and acoustic guitars, then look for bands that play those kinds of songs--and don't be afraid to ask them if they can learn some new ones just for you!

Find out if there are any restrictions on what types of instruments can be used at different venues (some places may not allow drums). If so, find another location or plan around it with other arrangements like using prerecorded tracks instead.

 

As always, the celebration is about YOU! So make the day what you want it to be. And have fun!! If we can help with any of your Bohemian Wedding Invitations, Signage or Stationery, don't hesitate to get in touch.
