Carefree, laid-back, free-spirited and romantic. If you would like to plan a boho wedding, here are a few ways to incorporate this trend into your celebration.

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.

1Plan a Boho Wedding with 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!

2Loose, 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!

Such amazing boho wedding dresses, the lace, the neckline, simply remarkable. Nothing like the boho dress trend to make a bride feel comfortable and romantic. Claire Pettibone.

3How to Plan a Boho Wedding: Au Natural!

A natural makeup look is the best ally of the boho bride. A touch of lip gloss, great base coverage and some pink tones for your cheeks and you’re ready for your big day! Opt for letting your locks loose, braid them and, for those who can, let your afro shine. Add a simple hair accessory like a flower crown, or a vintage hair clip that could be your “something borrowed” for the wedding.

4Boho wedding decor: Feel free to mix and match!

Don’t be afraid to combine different colors, sets, and styles of chairs, centerpieces, tableware, pillows and textured blankets. Floating candle centerpieces, macrame ceremony backdrops, greenery wreaths, or simply group four or five pillar candles on a very rustic wooden slab to get that boho wedding vibe.

Vivacious garden boho wedding ideas. Gather a couple of buckets, candles, flowers and you have an original and carefree decor for your big day.

5Show your love for Mother-Earth and go local on your wedding menu

Choose catering companies that serve non-traditional food for the wedding. The boho trend is towards food-trucks, buffet styled or BBQ-styled receptions. You can also show your commitment to saving the planet by hiring a farm-to-table caterer (check out this article to learn more about it).

An artistic, carefree, and a relaxed boho vibe is reflected on the ice cubes. Easy to make. Just add a few flowers to the ice tray.

6Get inspired by nature and the outdoors

Let nature become your wedding decor. Nothing more affordable than that, right? Mountains, oceans, and eternal beaches are a magnificent background for a boho wedding. And so are whimsical gardens, forests and parks.

Romantic Enchanted Forest Wedding Ideas: Let’s Create The Dream!

Filled with greenery, lights, moss and so romantic, let’s delve into the magical world of woodland enchanted forest wedding ideas.

Go over the top with your wedding entrance and create an enchanted garden where no forest exists.

In the search for unique wedding venues, couples have gotten closer to nature. This trend, coupled with Greenery, the 2017 Pantone color gave birth to magnificent and magical woodland wedding themes. Today, we’ll explore woodland forest ideas for you to get inspired and copy freely!

Turn your wedding venue into a truly enchanting place, that will look like it came out of a fairytale or a Harry Potter book! Check out these easy and cute ways to incorporate these enchanted forest wedding ideas into the centerpieces, the ceremony decoration and even the cake. Get your ferns, moss, candles, twinkle lights and woodcuts ready. Let the magic begin!

Enchanted Forest Wedding Centerpieces and Table Setting Ideas

There are many options when it comes to creating centerpieces and setting the table for an enchanted forest wedding. Here are a few ideas.

A simple candle and flower arrangement atop a woodcut base will easily add an woodsy-feel to your forest wedding centerpieces. Another economical and super cool idea is to use moss either as a centerpiece or as a table runner. This will add a contrasting green that will make any colored accent pop. Consider pairing succulents, ferns and candles into your enchanted forest wedding centerpieces to give them a romantic vibe.

The “forest” feel does not need to be over-the-top. Your tablescape could contain a few strategically-placed touches to incorporate the magic of the forest. If you are hosting an outdoor wedding, the centerpieces will probably do. If your wedding is indoors, you could add some jewels, stones or geodes to each table setting and use greenery for the centerpieces and decorations. Adding a few touches of color like cream or light hues of pink and orange will give it subtle, yet romantic feel.

Unique Woodland Wedding Decoration Inspiration

To add a bit of whimsy to your woodland wedding is to take inspiration from nature. Butterflies, ferns, gold or bronzed votives for soft candle light, branches and berries, woodcuts, books covered with moss, egg’s nests, lit up terrariums are all elements you can play with to create your own unique enchanted forest wedding.

If your reception is held outdoors, let your surroundings be the focal point of your wedding. Leverage the right lighting and a few accents and voilá! You could also bring more furniture outdoors to leverage that magical feel. This is the perfect time to incorporate a plush vintage sofa to your enchanted garden! Create a space where your guests can comfortably sit down and enjoy the conversation, the party and its ambiance.

Incorporate a decorated tree to the indoor venue to create a magical forest wedding. Gorgeous!

Hang decor from a big old tree or illuminate it with fairy lights, your photographer will love you for the photo ops you would be creating!

If you are leaning towards an indoor enchanted forest wedding reception, incorporate the outdoors wherever you can. The green and earthy decorations will help but consider the permanent features of the space as well. Leverage the venue’s large windows or glass ceilings, if there are any available. Finding a venue that offers both indoor and outdoor spaces would be a win-win.

For an indoors woodland-themed reception, there are a number of ideas you can use to bring the outdoors in. Think soft lighting, abundant greenery – mostly ferns – hanging centerpieces, stones, garlands and jewel tones. But don’t be afraid to add a few touches of stronger color and not-so-earthy tones. They will look magnificent against the lush surroundings.

Create your own magical woodsy lamp backdrop with strings of lights mixed with garlands of greenery.

These wood signs are such a cute way to have your ring bearers or flower girls enter and/or exit your wedding ceremony.

For soft lighting, you can use candles around your centerpieces and altar. Add the candles to a terrarium shaped holder or mason jar for added luminescence. If your venue won’t allow open flames, use battery lit candles or Chinese lanterns. Chinese lanterns can be wrapped around branches or wooden beams to enhance the forest-like feel.

Enchanted Woodland Forest Wedding Details (yes, it includes the cake!)

Nothing says thank you for coming like an edible wedding favor. Put together little bags of trail mix and wish happy trails to your guests. Or pick your favorite woodland creature, use the favor as table decor and partying gift at the same time.

Brides can take their pick of theme to pair up with an enchanted forest wedding. They all match! Carefree boho, romantically vintage or incredibly glam. Choose your dress and hairstyle accordingly. Check out this article for more ideas and suggestions.

Love potion bottles filled with grape juice. A perfect addition to an enchanted forest wedding theme.

The half-naked wedding cake look pairs perfectly with an enchanted forest themed wedding. You can add subtle floral embellishments to the tiers or a little bit of greenery to make the cake really stand out. If you would like to add the woodland wedding theme to the cake, you can opt for a geode wedding cake. Swoon! And double swoon!

A little bit goes a long way with this theme. As an added bonus, keeping floral arrangements as green as possible will be more cost efficient than florals. Placing the cake on a wooden or moss-covered stand will continue the enchanted woodland theme.

Ideas Para Bodas, Novias

Las Bodas Gitanas, sus Tradiciones y Rituales ¡Oda a la Celebración!

¿Te gusta lo boho? ¿Sabes que su origen es gitano? Las bodas gitanas y su celebración es una tradiciones que ha perdurado a través de las generaciones romaníes. Entérate el por qué de su particularidad y cómo son sus tres días de festejos inolvidables.

El vestido de encaje mas lindo que he visto en mucho tiempo.

Las bodas gitanas están llenas de tradiciones interesantes. Hoy investigamos el ritual del pañuelo, el pedimento gitano, el look de la novia y todo sobre las bodas gitanas.

Se denominan gitanos, romaníes, zíngaros, rom, sinti o pueblo gitano a una comunidad o etnia originaria de la India. Como llegan a Francia de la región de Bohemia, en la República Checa, los llaman bohemios. De allí parte el movimiento bohemio que tanto amamos.

Las bodas gitanas, su tradición e historia

Las bodas gitanas se caracterizan por la originalidad de su ceremonia y sus fiestas divertidas y llenas de rituales que poco tienen en común con las bodas tradicionales.

En la cultura gitana la pureza de una novia es importantísimo. Para poder contraer matrimonio es fundamental que la mujer llegue virgen al día de la boda. La comunidad celebrará la boda durante tres largos días. Durante el primero se realiza la Prueba del Pañuelo (más adelante te contamos de qué trata). El segundo día se lleva a cabo la ceremonia religiosa y el banquete. Y el tercer día se comienza muy temprano con la Fiesta de la Sardina, un banquete en donde participa toda la comunidad.

La ceremonia de las bodas gitanas

La ceremonia religiosa gitana debe ser evangelista o católica y debe realizarse por la mañana. El ritual está protagonizado por cantos de coros e instrumentos musicales de todo tipo. Las familias son numerosas y suelen casarse jóvenes.

Una de las primeras bodas gitanas civiles del siglo XXI tuvo lugar en España y fue celebrada en el jardín público de La Purísima; a la novia se la vio con un vestido de siete metros de cola y recorrió una alfombra de casi cuarenta metros de largo la cual estaba llena de pétalos de flores.

Pedimento gitano: el primer paso para el inicio de los preparativos de la boda

Cuando un hombre o mujer de esta cultura desea contraer matrimonio deberá proceder al pedimento gitano. Esto consiste en pedir la mano a la familia de la pareja. A partir de allí, los prometidos se consideran novios y pueden comenzar a planear la boda. Contraído el matrimonio, la ley gitana indica que el hombre debe ser absolutamente fiel a su mujer.

La prueba del pañuelo o ajuntamiento ¡y que comience la fiesta!

Una figura fundamental en las bodas gitanas es la “ajuntaora”. Ella tiene la tarea de verificar si la futura esposa es virgen, realizando lo que se conoce como la Prueba del Pañuelo. Para ello, ambas se encierran en una habitación con un pañuelo. Las familias y amigos permanecen a la espera de la prueba. Luego de unos minutos, la “ajuntaora” deberá verificar que el pañuelo se haya manchado con tres rosas, lo que indica que la mujer aún es virgen. De lo contrario no puede casarse.

Superada la Prueba del Pañuelo, la comunidad gitana comenzará la fiesta. Las madres de los novios mostrarán con orgullo el pañuelo al público para celebrar el matrimonio legitimado. Los amigos y familiares suelen levantar a la pareja en los hombros y arrojarles almendras acarameladas o peladillas como prueba de alegría y buenos augurios. Siempre acompañando con cánticos en honor a la novia.

Durante una verdadera fiesta gitana, suele realizarse el ritual de la Corbata. Mientras bailan, los invitados tiran dinero a los novios y a cambio se les da un pedacito de la corbata del flamante marido. Las mujeres serán las encargadas de regalar claveles a quienes generosamente entregaron el dinero. ¡Toda una celebración!

Entre los platos principales para la dicha celebración tenemos muchas chachizas de casuela y demás alimentos tradicionales de la cultura.

Vestidos de novia gitana, un sueño hecho realidad

Las mujeres gitanas se casan alrededor de los 15 años. De niñas ya comenzarán a soñar cómo vestirse el día de su boda. El traje de la novia está compuesto por dos vestidos. Uno de color rosa que va debajo (símbolo de feminidad), otro blanco, símbolo de pureza, que va por encima y es el que realmente se ve. No puede ser prestado. Siempre es nuevo y generalmente lo ha comprado el suegro. El novio en la boda gitana lleva un traje convencional o típico. En la ceremonia de la boda gitana suelen estar acompañados por damas y pajes con indumentaria apropiada para la ocasión.

Joyería para la novia romaní gitana.

Los vestidos de novia gitana se caracterizan por su extensa cola y extravagancia. Lujosos y repletos de adornos y bordados, los vestidos de novia gitana suelen ser pomposos y exuberantes. Además de blanco, los vestidos pueden ser amarillos, rosa o violeta. Las mujeres lucirán por lo general, su cabello suelto decorado con flores o tiaras con brillos.

Gran boda gitana.

Únicas y sensacionales las bodas gitanas son un culto a la celebración. No por nada, su tradición y rituales han perdurado a través de los años. ¡Y olé!

Wedding Reception Seating: How to Seat Guests for a Lively Celebration

Choosing who sits with whom is no easy task. Let’s look into the planning of wedding reception seating to host a lively and fun celebration.

The serpentine table layout is the latest rage in weddings.

One of the most difficult moments when we are planning our wedding reception is coming up with the seating chart. These tips will help with the wedding reception seating arrangements, so your guests feel comfortable and enjoy your wedding to the fullest!

Before assigning seats, make sure you have the maximum possible number of RSVPs so last minute RSVPs or guest additions do not interfere with your planning. When creating your wedding seating chart, plan for contingencies. Therefore, the wedding reception seating chart is one of the last things you should plan for your wedding.

Why you should avoid open wedding reception seating plans

Unless you are catering a cocktail wedding, you will want to assign guests to tables. Otherwise, people’s feelings tend to get hurt if they are seated at the “wrong” table. By the same token, as people tend to seat with people they already know they often end up not actively participating in the wedding reception.

Amazing lighting canopy above a perfect seating layout on this Bali wedding. The head table at the top facing the long rectangular tables for the guests provides ample circulation space between them.

Another drawback is that the environment will be excessively polarized: there will be a lively area and quiet one. Younger and noisy guests will sit together, while older and quiet ones will be somewhere else. Thus, when there are many people wanting to party, no one keeps the volume of conversation in check, and it rises and gradually the party becomes quite wild. Conversely, if the most serious people do not sit close to others with little extra pop, the reception will turn into a bore. For a fun and pleasant reception try to balance both these attitudes. Last but not least, people tend to want to know where to go.

How to seat guests at a wedding reception: the head table

Many couples choose a long rectangular table or a round table as their “presidential” or head table. The bride and groom should face the room and their table usually has some type of special decoration, such as flowers or personalized signs hung on the bride’s and groom’s chairs. This makes them stand out from the other tables.

Traditionally, the bride sits at the groom’s right, with the maid of honor on his left and the best man on the bride’s right. You may sit their “plus ones” at a different table and include both your parents or fit the best man and maid of honor, along with their significant others at your table, then seat remaining attendants and their partners at another table. Everything will depend on how much you want people to share the first meal as husband and wife.

This modern nautical Newport wedding features a large rectangular head table and round tables for the guests.

If your wedding is less formal, you can choose to sit with your parents, siblings, some close relatives or even friends.

The head table needs to be placed where it can be seen by the largest possible number of guests. Remember, that you, as the bride and groom are the protagonists of this celebration, and everyone will want to have you close by.

Wedding reception seating: Some guidelines to help you get started

Begin by grouping guests according to how you know them: family members, friends and acquaintances.
Try to seat your closest friends or family at the tables near yours.
Seat younger guests closer to the speakers and dance floor and older guests a little further away.
Use your wedding reception seating plan to introduce people with similar interests and backgrounds. Try to introduce them in advance during cocktails, sharing with them the reason you thought they should meet.
Try to make your guests feel comfortable by offering a mix of familiar and new faces at each table. Not even your most gregarious friends will want to sit at a table full of complete strangers, so put acquaintances together when you can.
Mix and match lively and serious guests to balance the atmosphere of the wedding. Joy is contagious!
Avoid seating people together who do not get along. Otherwise, we guarantee conflicts will arise during the reception.
Resist the urge to designate a “singles” table, because it really does feel like you are “singling” them out.
If there are guests that do not seem to fit with any group of people, think about what their interests or hobbies are and seat them accordingly.
If you have several children at your wedding, seat them together at a separate kids’ table. If there are only a couple of kids present, seat them with their parents.

Remember that a stitch in time saves nine! Think carefully on how to seat your guests at the wedding reception, and also consider your table layout. Use common sense – it never fails. Breathe deeply and enjoy your wedding planning! We are sure you will do a marvelous job!

50+ Trendiest Gold Wedding Ideas

Nothing says elegance, luxury and glam like a gold wedding. Sprinkle a little glitz or go all the way. Transform your reception into a night to remember with these outstanding gold wedding ideas.

Glam gold wedding: Elegant place settings with red and gold.

Metallics and gold in particular have become increasingly popular in weddings. From a single showpiece to an entire gold-themed wedding, gold is easy to combine with different wedding styles. Gold weddings allow you to try different accent colors.

Metallics have made an entrance on the wedding circle and show no signs of leaving anytime soon. Gold will reign over the Parisian-themed wedding, which is back in 2017! French elegance and traditions will inspire you with touches of this timeless color!

Read on and discover the best tips to decorate your wedding with gold.

Glorious gold weddings

According to Bourn Creative, “The color gold is cousin to the color yellow and the color brown, and is also associated with illumination, love, compassion, courage, passion, magic, and wisdom. Gold is a precious metal that is associated with wealth, grandeur, and prosperity, as well as sparkle, glitz, and glamour.”

Although you may be tempted to go overboard with gold, its inclusion in the decoration should be handled with care. The theme and style of the wedding are essential in determining if you can go bonkers with this color, or if you should reduce its use to just a few details.

A Gatsby theme, filled with glitz, glamour, and opulence translates well into white or black and gold weddings. The same applies to an ultra glam wedding. On the other hand, a shabby chic or a rustic wedding could benefit from a few accents in rose gold or peach blush gold, or a dab of gold against teal or green.

Glam ideas for gold wedding decorations: Show off your tablescaping skills!

Gold can be included in the smallest details of your wedding reception. And given that tablescapes are vital to the aesthetics of your wedding, indulge and capture your guests’ attention with a sparkling table decor. Here are some ideas for tablescaping your gold wedding.

Add some dinnerware with gold-colored dye designs. Tablescaping for gold weddings does not have to be about gold charger dishes alone. Spritz some gold on the wedding china patterns or on the glassware rims. For a romantic, modern, and elegant wedding, use white china and gilded tablecloth or table runners.

Without a doubt, centerpieces are the focal point of every wedding. The combination of flowers and their design truly impact the receptions’ decor. Give your centerpieces a golden touch with flowers, vases or by adding bottles of wine painted in gold. Mix in some gold and pink for a softer, high-end look. Go tall for an elegant feel or go low surrounded by candles for a romantic setting. Tuscan-style centerpieces are perfect for a gold wedding. Black candles on golden candlesticks can be a hit.

Gold weddings lend themselves to amazing color combinations

Gold is quite easy to combine. Like we mentioned earlier, gold can be used as a wildcard or as the main attraction in combination with other colors. Gold goes well with navy, lilac, mint, pink, teal, emerald, green, ruby red, black or white. Your chosen combination will depend on your wedding style.

Metallic gold and teal tiffany-inspired vintage wedding color ideas.

For a spring wedding, choose warm tones like corals and peach to complement your golden wedding decor. Glam things up with purple with touches of green or gold, ruby red and black. Generous, deep colors such as plum and carmine red flourish with metallic accents of gold, brass and copper. Ornamental ensembles and shimmering, classy materials are eye-catching. Superb, rich colors like plum and crimson abound with metallic gold elements.

Aurora, red and gold wedding ideas.

Latte brown, peach, white and gold are perfect for a fall wedding. Gold and navy are a classic that denotes elegance. Pink and gold or rose gold will give your wedding a delicate, upscale and chic look. The absolute latest trend is to go 100% metallic as it makes for a very easy combination of different golden and copper tones.

Gold in every detail

Your wedding decor no longer stops at the centerpieces and the flowers, but extends itself to the photobooth, the alternative guest books, the wedding cakes and even the desserts! The choice of a rich wedding cake, macaroons or cupcakes must also be tinged with some details on gold. Not only will these details look divine (and some even purely whimsical) but they will also delight your guests’ palates and senses. The choices are many, so there are no excuses to not surprise your guests with a dream wedding wrapped in gold. Check out these ideas!
