Boho weddings embody playful, free-spirited style. They can range from rustic to glamorous, while still maintaining a whimsical, organic vibe. The thousands of photos from real boho weddings on PartySlate have convinced me of one thing: Though I said “I do” at a black tie ballroom affair 25 years ago, if I could do it all over again, I would embrace this unconventional aesthetic.
No two bohemian weddings are the same, yet there are some chic details that they tend to have in common. Nature is often the perfect setting for boho nuptials — gardens, forests, and beaches set a lush scene. Soft and earthy color palettes like pastels, neutrals, and earth tones work well. These affairs tend to layer on even more natural elements like flowers, greenery, pampas grass, and macrame fringe for a stunning vision.
When it comes to twists on the style, we love creative boho wedding ceremony details like layering vintage rugs to create a unique aisle, forgoing floral bouquets in favor of feather or tassel arrangements, and offering mismatched vintage furniture for cozy guest seating. All of these design flourishes will create the perfect setting for your ceremonial arch. Below you’ll find boho wedding arch ideas, along with the wedding planners behind the look, to inspire your own non-traditional celebration.
