If you're planning a wedding, you know that it's important to create an atmosphere that reflects your personality and relationship. For many couples, a boho-themed wedding can be the perfect combination of cozy, romantic, and natural. To help you achieve the perfect boho wedding, we've put together these five top tips:
Set the right tone during the planning stage
The first step in planning a boho wedding is to create an inviting and laid-back atmosphere that your guests will love. Choose a venue that reflects your style and personality and ensure it fits the overall theme. You can use decorations such as candles or plants to create a cozy and intimate setting. When planning the other aspects of your wedding, consider the size of your guest list and the type of music you want to have. You can opt for a live band or acoustic musicians to create a more casual feel.
2. Make your ceremony unique
The ceremony is an important part of any wedding, and for a boho wedding, you can add unique elements to make it even more special. Consider having a sand ceremony or a unity candle to add a personal touch. You can also opt for a nontraditional ceremony, such as a hand-fasting or tree-planting ceremony.
3. Choose the perfect dress
The dress is a central focus of any wedding, and for a boho wedding, you'll want to choose a dress that reflects your style and personality. Research bridal boutiques and designers like Lace and Favour before you go shopping. Consider the season of your wedding when choosing the fabric of your dress. For a summer wedding, lighter fabrics like chiffon or organza will work well, while heavier fabrics like velvet or satin are great for winter weddings.
4. Focus on light, natural flavors for your food and drink
When it comes to food and drink, you'll want to focus on light, natural flavors that reflect the overall theme of your wedding. Consider serving dishes that are made with fresh, local ingredients, and opt for rustic dishes like a roasted vegetable platter or homemade pasta. For drinks, choose natural ingredients like fresh fruit juices or herbs. You can also offer unique drinks like lavender lemonade or ginger beer.
5. Choose music that reflects your style and personality
Music is an important part of any wedding, and for a boho wedding, you'll want to create a relaxed atmosphere. Consider having a live band or acoustic musicians to create a more intimate feel. Choose music that reflects your unique style and personality to create a memorable experience for you and your guests.
6. Incorporate natural elements
Boho weddings often incorporate natural elements like flowers, plants, and wood. Consider using natural materials for your decor, like wooden tables or flower arrangements with wildflowers and greenery. You can also add natural elements to your wedding attire, such as a floral crown or a boho-inspired bouquet.
7. Consider a non-traditional venue
Boho weddings are all about creating a relaxed and natural atmosphere, so consider a non-traditional venue like a barn, a park, or a garden. These venues provide the perfect backdrop for a boho wedding, and you can incorporate natural elements like trees, flowers, and open spaces.
8. Create a cozy atmosphere with lighting
Lighting is an important element in creating the perfect boho wedding atmosphere. Consider using warm, soft lighting like string lights, lanterns, or candles to create a cozy and romantic ambiance. You can also incorporate natural light, such as having an outdoor ceremony during the golden hour.
9. Choose a color palette that reflects the boho style
When choosing a color palette for your boho wedding, consider using earthy tones like greens, browns, and creams. You can also add pops of color with bold hues like burgundy, navy, or deep reds. These colors will complement the natural elements in your wedding and create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
10. Incorporate unique details
Boho weddings are all about incorporating unique and personal details that reflect your style and personality. Consider adding personal touches like handmade favors, unique signage, or vintage decor. These details will make your wedding feel intimate and memorable for you and your guests.
By following these ten top tips, you'll be able to create the perfect boho wedding that celebrates your identity, your relationship, and the commitment you and your partner are making.
