Bride's image

At first glance, boho wedding dresses are similar in many ways to rustic ones. The same simplicity of styles, abundance of natural, soft fabrics, loose fit, flowing silhouettes, high waist. The difference between a boho dress is in the details.

Interesting! Floral arrangements in boho and rustic styles are similar in many ways. You can see this for yourself and choose the most suitable option.

Boho dresses are distinguished by a restrained style, light shades and an abundance of guipure inserts.

A boho wedding has its own special flavor

Florist

A boho wedding bouquet does not have artificial, even shapes; it is shaggy, asymmetrical, a little disheveled and often cascades. Elena

The bouquet is multi-colored, usually consisting of large flowers, a large amount of decorative and field greenery and unusual inserts (leather, feathers, twigs, dried flowers, berries and even whole fruits).

The stem of the bouquet and the composition itself are decorated with a wide variety of options - leather laces, ribbons, bird feathers, braid, large decorative elements in ethnic style. Everything that is inherent in such a diverse bohemian boho style will be appropriate.

A wedding bouquet in boho style has the right to be completely individual and echo the rest of the decor with only small elements.

Groom's outfit

The boho style of the groom implies complete democracy and the most unexpected combinations of decorative details, colors and fabric textures. Very often, a touch of slight irony can be seen in the style of the outfit. The combination of a bow tie and suspenders, a colorful scarf peeking out from the chest pocket of a plain vest, or a farmer's plaid shirt breaks the aura of excessive seriousness that usually surrounds the groom.

• Tie or bow tie. These accessories have become almost a traditional attribute of the groom's boho-style outfit. They can be chosen to match the suit or, conversely, choose models in bright colors with expressive patterns.

• Vest. A classic-cut vest is one of the favorite elements of the groom’s suit. It can be sewn from plain, checkered or patterned fabric. A small boutonniere made of fresh or artificial flowers looks very elegant on the lapel of the vest.

• Suspender. Once upon a time, this element of clothing performed an exclusively practical function - supporting trousers. Nowadays, suspenders have become a fashion accessory that is used to highlight the chosen style of an outfit.

When choosing a groom's suit, a bold mixture of colors and styles is encouraged. For example, pairing blue jeans with a burgundy velvet jacket is acceptable. Or another option - a plain classic jacket and a bright shirt with floral patterns. Boho style is suitable for brave and extraordinary men who are not afraid to be ironic towards themselves.

What to assemble a composition from

For compositions in the boho style, flowers with large and bright inflorescences are used. The list of common colors used in accessories looks like this:

• pansies;
• lilies;
• bells;
• lilac;
• forget-me-nots;
• orchids;
• violets;
• tulips;
• lotuses

Amaranths became the classic flowers for such a composition, giving just that cascading look. They come in a variety of colors and perfectly highlight any composition, softening its shape, making it flowing, like a waterfall. Peonies are extremely popular in boho bouquets. Especially, large dense inflorescences of peonies.

They are easy to care for, have flexible, strong legs, retain their freshness for a long time, are fragrant, voluminous and have a wide color palette. They use both blossoming inflorescences and unripe buds.

Taking into account modern possibilities of artificial cultivation in greenhouses, this flower has become available at any time of the year. Due to their rich variety of shades, peonies combine with almost all flowers and herbs.

Amaryllis is another popular flower used in boho arrangements. Bright, large, multi-colored, it looks great both solo and in the company of other plants.

Typical combinations for boho style:

• burgundy peonies and astilbe amaranths, bright pink peony roses, white speedwell, green eucalyptus branches. For decoration, add viburnum berries;
• callas and orchids, decorated with branches of ruscus and amaranths;
• sunflowers, burgundy dahlias, asparagus and pheasant feathers.

Interesting! In boho style you can hold not only a wedding, but also a bachelorette party. Read more in this article.

As you can see, there are a wide variety of combinations, you just need to show a little imagination and creativity.

Mono bouquets are very popular among brides. Any large flowers decorated with a lot of greenery and various inserts will look good solo.

For example, amaryllis and asparagus, camellias and ruscus. Imagine a boho-style bridal bouquet made of hyacinths. This fantastic, fragrant flower requires no decorations or inserts other than a ribbon to hold all the flowers together. It looks unusual and very elegant.

A boho bridal bouquet looks great not only as part of a celebration of this theme. It fits perfectly into modern, classic weddings that choose a certain color scheme, into vintage and rustic styles, and looks original in glamorous celebrations.

Modern florists, in search of new combinations, often experiment with mixing styles. A bridal bouquet that combines boho and rustic is very popular. These styles have many similarities and it is natural that they are often mixed. The bright colors and large, non-trivial shapes inherent in boho look great framed by delicate, small field inflorescences of pastel shades and meadow grasses.

• Proud orchids are favorably emphasized by delicate, field daisies.
• Exotic lotus flowers will look good among cornflowers, lavender, a collection of any small wildflowers and fragrant sage.
• Gardenia looks perfect with brunia inflorescences. This duet looks so complete and laconic that you don’t need to add anything else.

Bouquets for the bride

Boho style is divided into several main trends:

• Provence;
• shabby chic;
• ethnic;
• hippie;
• Gypsy.

When starting to compose a wedding bouquet, you need to adhere to certain trends in the composition. Despite the fact that all these directions are united in one style, they have different features.

Provence style

It is preferable to create such bouquets within the framework of minimalism. The main features of such a composition are tenderness, romanticism and aristocratic simplicity. The bouquet should have a natural shape, be light and small. Very often, lavender is used to create a bouquet in Provence style.

This is an incredibly gentle and touching composition that symbolizes the sophistication and spirituality of the bride. The long stems of the plant go well with the elongated silhouette of the dress, and the tiny petals successfully complement the thin and transparent material of the dress.

For Provence weddings, wildflowers of light, muted shades are used. These are mainly soft lilac, bluish, pink and pale yellow. Chamomiles, phloxes, bells, clovers, etc. look great. Field plants can be diluted with rosebuds.

Roses should be pastel shades: white, pink, cream. Lace ribbons or cuts made from natural fabrics are suitable for decoration. They can be decorated with a small cameo or a brooch with a natural stone.

Shabby chic

Shabby chic involves the presence of delicate, pastel shades in the design of the bouquet. It can be dazzling white, soft pink, cream, peach. An excellent decor would be lace to match the flowers with a small beautiful brooch trimmed with rhinestones or pearls.

The bride's bouquet should be lush and airy. Shabby chic implies small, neat shapes. This is a style in which aristocracy and restraint are combined with luxury. Peonies, roses, and tulips, both with open buds and those just beginning to open, are perfect for making a bouquet. Hydrangea, hyacinth and orange blossom would also be appropriate.

Gypsy boho

The gypsy direction is strikingly different from previous styles. If there is aristocratic simplicity there, then here there is a riot of colors, independence and freedom. Such a bouquet can be very bright, composed of flowers in contrasting shades. It is appropriate to make it asymmetrical, as if slightly careless and drawing attention to itself.

The shades in the composition should be rich and bright. Dark red can be combined with deep blue and cheerful orange. A good combination would be bright red lush roses, small daisies, golden gerberas, lilac sprigs of lavender.

Compositions can be supplemented with dead wood, thistles, various spikelets, and green leaves. Bird feathers, dried berries, and cinnamon sticks can be used in decoration. Bright brooches with rhinestones, satin and lace ribbons are well suited for decoration.

Ethnic style

A bride's bouquet in ethno style is characterized by greater restraint than a gypsy one. There can also be rich tones here, but more subdued. As a rule, such bouquets contain a lot of greenery, twigs, and leaves. When compiling these compositions, national characteristics should be taken into account.

A bride's bouquet at a traditional Slavic wedding can be made from wildflowers, such as daisies, clovers, cornflowers, etc. It is appropriate to decorate with dead wood, sprigs of dried berries, and stalks of wheat. At the same time, you can add roses in both bright and delicate tones to the composition. A calm, romantic bouquet will go perfectly with the bride’s national outfit.

Hippie style

The hippie movement is associated with independence, freedom and love of nature. This style is characterized by naturalness and harmony. Asymmetrical compositions, free from stereotypes, are also appropriate here. The shades should be bright, rich, but not as eccentric as in gypsy boho.

Wildflowers decorated with various dead wood and greenery will look best. Compositions can be diluted with feathers, decorated with bells, beads, and rhinestones.

When composing a boho style composition, follow the direction you choose. Remember that the bouquet in the hands of the bride should be harmoniously combined with her outfit and the overall design of the wedding. Think through all the nuances of color and decor combinations in advance.

To make the bouquet beautiful and harmonious:

• do not be afraid to include unusual details - bird feathers, branches of berries, small crafts made of beads and large beads;
• complement matte inflorescences with bright, glossy foliage;
• insert closed buds into a composition with open flowers;
• use gilding or silvering of individual plants;
• allow the accessory to be heterogeneous and at different levels in height;
• If you are putting together a wedding arrangement of wildflowers, all you need to do is tie a matching ribbon on the stem.

Rules for composing a bouquet

You can use a variety of flowers in boho wedding bouquets: simple wildflowers and expensive greenhouse flowers. Consider the following recommendations when creating bouquets:

• the composition does not have to exactly repeat the colors used in the wedding decor, but must be combined with them;
• despite the eclecticism of the style, it is important to observe moderation and not overdo it when creating a composition from different types of flowers and plants;
• Make sure that the bride’s bouquet clearly shows trends that correspond to this direction.

In a bouquet, it is necessary to take into account the compatibility of flowers with each other. Some flowers wilt faster when standing next to certain plants.

A wedding bouquet can consist entirely of wildflowers. Such a bouquet does not need to be decorated with floral paper or decorative elements. Often it is enough to wrap it with a ribbon of suitable material. This is well suited for destinations such as hippie and Provence. Flowers can be supplemented with dead wood, stalks of flax and wheat, thistles, etc.

In the decoration of the composition you can use lace, ribbons, beads, brooches with rhinestones, etc. It is necessary that the decor matches the color of the main shades in the composition. The specificity of this style allows for the creation of a wedding composition not only from fresh flowers, but also from fabric. A bridal bouquet in this style can be made from artificial flowers, which are made using various materials, ribbons, lace, etc.

Summary

Creating a boho composition is a creative activity. The rules are simple and the restrictions are minimal. Don’t be afraid to experiment, look for new solutions and combinations that will highlight your image and will be unique to you. Your reward will be a stunning bouquet and the envious glances of your friends.

Hall decoration

Decorating a wedding in boho style with your own hands can turn into a very exciting creative activity. The use of vintage items is encouraged in the decor of the hall. Candlesticks, kerosene lamps, old black and white photos, flowers in terracotta ceramic pots - all of these can be wonderful elements of a boho wedding design. And if the bride likes to do needlework, she can make unusual jewelry in the style of North American Indians - “dream catcher” amulets. Openwork amulets woven from multi-colored threads and bird feathers will give the decor a unique ethnic flavor.

In the warm season, the party is often held outdoors. This approach is fully consistent with the romantic spirit of the wedding. The area for a wedding photo shoot can be decorated with a stylized wigwam or a tent made of bright colored fabrics. To create an atmosphere of a cheerful holiday, it will be enough to decorate the branches of nearby trees with multi-colored satin ribbons.

Photo zone design option in Boho-chic style

If a boho-style party is held indoors, then you should take the choice of suitable decor more seriously.

• Drapery. For the manufacture of draperies, it is recommended to use fairly dense natural fabrics. Textiles made from natural linen are ideal. As for the color scheme, you need to proceed from the stylistic features of a particular party. If the main tone of the wedding is set by romantic notes, then fabrics in light pastel colors are suitable for decoration. Draperies with large floral prints in light coral, pink or lavender shades look very beautiful. Dense textured fabrics with bright geometric patterns will add an ethnic flavor to the design of the room. The same draperies can be used to decorate a photo zone in boho style.
• Accessories. Openwork lanterns or candlesticks, suspended on laces or chains, will create a special mysterious atmosphere. You can also use bells, threads of beads, and colored ribbons in the decoration of the hall. The decor should not be too rich and abundant. It is better to rely on the originality of interior accessories.
• Floral design. The wedding style does not involve the use of garlands and lush floral arrangements. The main element of floral decor is compositions of flowers and herbs, arranged around the room in “artistic disorder.” In winter, a boho wedding can be decorated with original arrangements of dried flowers and bizarrely shaped branches.
