A boho wedding is one of the hottest wedding trends of recent seasons. There is nothing surprising about it - idyll, inspiration from nature, comfort - these are the main features of celebrations in this type of climate, which makes both the newlyweds and invited guests feel exceptionally comfortable and good. However, in order to enjoy a ceremony and reception with a unique atmosphere, it is necessary to take care of boho wedding decorations and boho wedding hall decorations. In this guide we will show you what these elements should look like and what to look out for when choosing boho wedding decorations.
Decorating a boho style wedding reception hall - top tips.
A boho wedding - what kind of wedding is it? This style is a mixture of different concepts - from rustic to elegant to vintage. The main inspiration is nature and the colours of the earth - beiges, browns, yellows, reds and greens, hippie accents and motifs from the late 1960s. What should the newlyweds wear, how should the decorations look, what flowers to choose and what to give the guests as a thank you for attending the ceremony and reception? We explain below.
The bride and groom's outfit - a bit hippy, a bit bohemian, a bit vintage.
All with a touch of elegance. The bride's dress should be delicate and simple, decorated with ribbons or lace and embroidery. In her hair, instead of a veil, she can wear a garland of colourful flowers. The groom, on the other hand, may be tempted to wear a suit in a deep green, red or brown. A check pattern is also welcome. If you are organising a summer wedding and the groom loves original solutions, he can opt for a suit in pastel shades.
Boho hall decoration - wooden decorations are a must. Add decorative garlands made from paper, ribbons or lanterns, and DIY decorations created in the spirit of zero waste. It's also a good idea to hang photos of your loved ones from the engagement or early childhood to the wedding day - you'll need jute string and clothes pegs to hang them. The decoration of the boho wedding hall should impress with the charm of natural beauty and the inspiration of nature.
Boho table decorations - this is where the details count. Starting with the classic vignettes, which should also be made of wood, through the decoration of cutlery, such as small sprigs of dried flowers, on lanterns and candlesticks, such as those made of jars and lace, or hand-embroidered napkins, to the flowers - this is another element of boho decoration.
Flowers - this is another important element if you are planning a boho wedding - the hall and tables should be decorated with flowers, the style of which will of course depend on the climate of the ceremony. The best options will be field daisies, margaritas, ranunculus, carnations, eutosmas, autumn heather, stately peonies. Expressive additions in the form of gypsophila, mountain ash, and even small seasonal fruits and vegetables or feathers should not be missed.
Gifts for guests - a classic set: cake + vodka (but remember, we are Polish people so don't be upset with that one! :D) will completely fail in this case. If you want to thank your loved ones, try homemade liqueurs, cakes, handmade chocolates, mini-honey or jams. More and more couples are also opting for other forms of thank you, such as engraved wooden magnets or pins, or even plants to plant themselves, handmade candles or cosmetics.
Decorating a boho style wedding reception hall - essential decorations
Now that you know what to look out for when deciding on the details of your boho wedding and reception, it is time to choose some specific decorations. What will be essential for your big day?
Wedding ring boxes - wooden, decorated with a motif of colourful flowers, will perfectly present the rings during the wedding and will also be a prop that will certainly work during the photo session. With the option of full personalisation, the ring boxes are also a great souvenir for the newlyweds and a useful box in which the bride and groom can safely store their wedding jewellery. The box measures 8.5 x 8.5 x 4.5 cm and is available in white or natural wood. An added bonus is the filling, which can be lace, jute or even moss.
Envelope Box - an indispensable item for safely storing envelopes with wishes and gifts from guests. The box is a spacious wooden box measuring 29 x 26 x 30 cm with a 16.2 cm opening at the top. The Envelope Box is available in natural wood colour and is embellished with engravings in the form of the names of the newlyweds and the date of the ceremony, as well as a floral ornament.
Wedding menu - made of wood, decorated with engravings in the form of information about the dishes to be served and floral motifs, including ears, which will further emphasise the idyllic nature of the ceremony.
Guest book - a unique souvenir for the bride and groom. To ensure that all the decorations are in perfect harmony, a guest book in the form of a glazed wooden frame with a space for wooden hearts in which guests can write their wishes is a good idea. Such a guest book will not only stand out from the classic ones and be an attractive addition to the other decorations, but will also be a unique souvenir that can become a decoration of the bride and groom's apartment.
A boho wedding is undoubtedly magical. If you love nature, intense colours and freedom, and dream of your wedding and reception taking place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, then a ceremony in this climate is written for you.
