When it comes time to start planning the wedding of their dreams, more and more couples these days are gravitating toward the bohemian look. For some the appeal lies in the warm, intimate and almost effortless vibe it creates; for others it’s the fact that these weddings tend to almost always be outdoors, surrounded by lush scenery and eclectic décor.
Regardless of the reasons you’re drawn toward this style of wedding, here are four tips to help you and your significant other throw the outdoor wedding of your dreams.
1. Keep It Local
Keeping things local is one of the most common themes of bohemian weddings. Try your best to find local caterers, florists, distilleries/breweries, etc. to add as much of a local, homegrown touch to your event as possible.
2. Get Wild with Your Floral Arrangements
For a bohemian-style wedding, you want your floral arrangement to look like a perfectly imperfect mélange of formal flowers (such as roses) and wild greens (like grasses, fern leaves, etc.). The types of flowers and accompanying foliage you choose should “fit” the season in which your wedding will take place. For example, go with lighter, more vibrant colored flowers in the spring and summer, spicier tones in the fall and cool, darker hues in the winter.
3. The More Eclectic Your Décor, the Better
When hosting a bohemian wedding, one thing you want to avoid is overanalyzing the décor (or any aspect of the event, for that matter). These types of weddings are inherently eclectic and shouldn’t feature too much of any one style, be it a print, color, texture, type of furniture or anything else. Mix and match vintage with modern, rustic with elegant and any other styles that suit your personal tastes. After all – the number one key to throwing an unforgettable bohemian wedding is making sure it encapsulates who you are as a person.
4. Go for a Simple, Effortlessly Beautiful Look
For understandable reasons, boho brides don’t typically want to look as “done up” as brides in more traditional wedding settings do. As far as your hair and makeup is concerned, strive for a natural, effortlessly sophisticated look, perhaps incorporating a vintage clip or floral piece into your hair.
As far as attire goes, lace and silk organza fabrics are perfect for brides, and grooms will look perfect in a simple linen suit, khakis and a light dress shirt or anything else that is elegant but not too over-the-top for the laidback outdoor setting.
