Romantic, relaxed and unexpected. The boho wedding draws influences from hippie culture, mixed in with gypsy and vintage elements. A trend that started a few years ago and became a classic. What is the bohemian style and how do we plan the boho wedding of our dreams?

What is a boho wedding?

A bohemian styled theme or boho wedding is one that obeys no rules, as shown by its freedom of expression and frugality. An eclectic mix of hippie, ethnic and gypsy styles revealed by simple, artsy and adventurous touches.

Why is the Bohemian wedding theme so popular?

First, a lot of couples identify with the simple, anything goes, DIY filled style of a boho wedding. It allows for many ways to personalize a wedding.

Second, because of its frugality, it adjust to even the smallest of budgets. Couples nowadays are more budget-conscious. Savvy-brides know that they can plan a boho wedding on a tight budget.

The good thing about the Bohemian style is that brides can pick either a Boho vintage, Beachy Boho, Boho Chic, Wanderlust or Woodland themes according to what fits their personality best.

Third, being loaded with textures, prints, and the beauty of simplicity and freedom of spirit, no other style compares.

How to Plan a Boho Wedding: The 6 Key Elements

A cool boho wedding is non-traditional, has a sense of adventure, and gives you a memorable wedding without the stress of a high-maintenance reception.

The first thing you have to do, is define your inspiration. What does Boho mean to you and your partner? Do you see flower crowns and a garden setting? Do you dream of sunny beaches and waves crashing behind you? A reception outdoors under the stars with a campfire? Or are you leaning towards an embroidered Moroccan style?

Once the inspiration has been defined, pick from one or more of these elements to plan your Boho wedding.

There’s a lot of photobooths out there on the wedding market, but this one does it in boho style.

1 Flower power!

Flower crowns are definitely a synonym of a bohemian bride. Although nothing says, 70s like crystal hair accessories. To keep it frugal, make sure to pick wild flowers for your hair, bridal bouquets, centerpieces and, of course, expect a flower explosion on your wedding cake. Adorn your tables with greenery and flower garlands as the most original table runners!

2 Loose, comfortable, and fluid wedding outfits

Fabrics like lace and organza are a wonderful choice for the boho bride’s dress. Meanwhile the groom can wear comfy khakis and a white shirt or a more polished but still unconventional linen suit. For an even more informal look, think of Dashikis, Indian clothes and peasant blouses, vests, fringes and the whole range of gypsy styled clothing!

For beachy boho brides, welcome going barefoot! We have seen some very cute sandals that protect the bottom of your feet and barely cover them. If you are going country, feel free to don a pair of cowgirl boots.

Take full advantage of the mismatched bohemian vibe for your bridesmaids. It will make it affordable for them to fit your reception style!
