The Altar

There are a few key themes in a bohemian ceremony, the most important being nature. Flowers are a must, and a great way to take this nature theme to the next level is by incorporating it into your altar. Create a beautiful wedding arch using flowers and the wood from a birch tree. Birch trees are perfect for this look, and their long and skinny limbs are excellent for creating a dazzling altar. Throw on a white drape over the arch, add some flowers, and you've got a beautiful, yet simple altar that is a beautiful sight to see! Check out these beautiful arches and get inspired to decorate your own!

Lace

Now that we've established key ways to incorporate nature into your big day, now its time to move onto another prominent component of boho weddings: lace. Lace is a timeless fabric. What's one of the most popular ways to use it? Incorporate it in the gown. Most boho brides wear a dress that uses at least a little bit of lace somewhere. It doesn't have to be a lot of detail, but even just a touch of it can add something special to the bohemian look you're wanting. Love lace? Find a gown that is covered in this material! A boho queen can never have too much lace!

You're not the only one that can be wearing lace! Let your bridesmaids take on the boho trend and pick out some light and airy lace frocks for them to wear as they glide down the aisle. Lace can be flattering on all shapes and sizes, and it's such a delicate and feminine touch.

Decorations

Now, let's talk decorations. There are a lot of options for boho decor. This theme works best with outdoor ceremonies. If you're planning on doing this, sometimes the greenery from a forest or rose bushes can be sufficient decoration. But if you're looking to add some extra decorations to your woodland wonderland, try out some dream catchers! They're totally boho and so colorful! You'll love the way they look as they gently sway in the breeze beneath the cool shade of a tree with fresh green foliage.
