Be it the bohemian inspired decor, fashion or weddings, this trend has been the centre of attention for more than two centuries now. The free-spirited creative and aesthetic vibe that the boho era has brought upon us, is truly exceptional. This theme allows you to go wild in terms of creativity and innovation. It is a marriage between naturally beautiful elements and a hospitable environment that is more than happy to invite you. The theme is very commonly seen in the weddings of the west but is slowly gaining popularity in Indian weddings as well.
It is very easy to incorporate bohemian elements in your traditional Indian wedding as the two styles resonate at some level. So here are some ways to make your wedding decor exciting and a lot more bohemian.
Rustic canopy mandaps
This will essentially be the most easy and the most aesthetic to incorporate in your wedding decor . Make the mandap with the help of some big old rusty logs, vines, creepers and decorate them with flower bouquets of your choice. It looks absolutely stunning, is eco-friendly and takes a lot less effort as compared to building an old style mandap.
The key here is to make it as rough as possible so that it looks more effortless. Such mandap setups are gaining popularity because they are very flexible and can be incorporated in any kind of decoration or theme.
Macramé touch
The macramé craft of knitting is an ancient technique of making dream catchers, rugs, table runners, cushions and what not . These just look gorgeous when put together and you can go with the classic beige theme as it goes with every color palette. The entrance can be adorned with well knitted beautiful macramé curtains, giant dream catchers can be used to decorate the backdrop for a photo shoot area.
The dream catchers can be of varying shapes and sizes decorated with colorful feathers, beads and other ornaments. Hang them from a tree in a casual manner.
Tents
Tent shaped banquet places look very traditional and homey. If you are thinking of setting up a place like that you might also want to consider getting low tables with cushions for a picnic style sitting area. Or you can set up some small cone -shaped tepees with green branches, foliage and extra flowers. Such structures are perfect for insta-worthy photos and also add some romance in the air.
Elaborate installations like this can be used as a stage for your mehendi, sangeet and haldi ceremonies as well.
Bohemian tabletops
If you want to dine the boho way, you may want to add the classic colored glassware that just makes everything gypsy. They go very well with wooden table tops laid with macramé runners. For the centerpiece, go with classic flower bouquets but add more leaves and foliage than normal bouquets. Surround the centerpiece with colorful glass bottles, jars and tall candle setup on vintage candle stands.
All this doesn’t have to be perfect as it must look casual and cool. Such setups are great for a cozy brunch under a giant tree. Also get some Moroccan lanterns to hang from the tree for more light and aesthetics.
Lights
Speaking of elegance , this theme has the most charming light installations that you have a chance to incorporate in your wedding. Drape trees with fairy lights or create a canopy of yellow bulb lights in order to cover the dinner tables. Simple chandeliers or intricately designed lanterns can be added in the outdoor decor. Place thick and huge candles along with the centerpiece to add more shine .
Another way would be to create a cascading ceiling with tons of flowers, leaves or huge bulbs and install it right over the tables. This way you also don’t have to fill the table with unnecessary centerpieces and it will give extra space to the guests.
Unique flowers
Flowers do make a difference in a decor as it covers most part of it. For a boho wedding, usually traditional blooms and wildflowers like scabiosa, spray roses, mini calla lilies, cremon mum white flowers and spider anastasia are preferred. It would be great if you could get some dried flowers and foliage to pair it with these flowers. Get in touch with the best flower growers in town and buy flowers in bulk for the wedding.
