Bohemians used to be defined by their interest in creative endeavors and their wandering nature. We have bohos of yore to thank for design and décor trends aplenty and inspired pairings like feathers and gold, crocheted art and fresh blooms. That wild spirit has even worked its way into one of the oldest traditions — weddings.
We love the way creative couples and talented design teams have reinterpreted hippie style with rustic wood tables, vintage glassware, brass rings outfitted with florals and tassels, winding aisles, and free-flowing greenery galore. The defining feature of bohemian weddings seems to be their eclectic mix of eras, colors, and styles that create a totally unique vibe
1. Watercolor Wonderland with Trendy Touches
We imagine that if Monet went through a bohemian phase, this is the kind of wedding he’d conceive — it’s a water-color-inspired fantasy with an iridescent circular bar (totally on-trend), lovely florals suspended in ice, and a perfectly-boho ceiling installation

2. Beach Blanket Boho
Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
We’re having trouble imagining a place we’d rather be than this pristine stretch of Mexican beach. We long to lounge on these colorful overlapping rugs snuggled up in those brightly-patterned pillows. Sigh.

3. Industrial-Boho in Brooklyn
When we think boho, we imagine wildflowers in a riot of colors and wild greenery — this Brooklyn wedding had all of that, and more.

The restrained ivory floral palette for this celebration really allowed every element to shine.

24. Rustic & NYC are No Longer an Oxymoron
