Layer rugs, cushions, and throws to create bohemian-style seating areas that feel effortlessly inviting. Add plenty of greenery - eucalyptus garlands, potted plants, or hanging foliage work beautifully - and incorporate fairy lights, lanterns, or candles for a magical glow.

For table settings, go for mismatched crockery, vintage glassware, and earthy tones. The key is creating a relaxed, eclectic space that feels uniquely yours.

Candles are a boho wedding essential - they create a warm, intimate glow and add a touch of romance. Mix heights and styles for a relaxed yet elegant, free-spirited vibe.

How To Plan a Boho Wedding: Expert Tips

Mastering the perfect bohemian wedding theme can seem like a daunting challenge, but few do it better than the team at Cripps Barn. We asked Venue Manager, James Purvis, for this thoughts and tips on how to transform your wedding venue to meet your boho wedding dreams. 

What is a Boho Wedding Theme?

"Boho is another word for 'enhanced natural'. You're taking something that's naturally there and styling it according to your preferences. It should feel real, organic, and not too man-made.

"A boho wedding theme features a lot of raw materials. Once you've chosen your venue, see what type of materials and colours it has so you can try and mirror that through your decoration. Ideally, avoid too much plastic or anything that will throw off the natural materials of the venue. Use what's already there to inspire you. 

"A boho wedding looks like a lot of wood, natural stone, and exposed brick."

How to Make a Boho Wedding Bouquet? 

"Boho wedding flowers tend feature a lot of caramel and coffee colours. Whether you want to go for cream roses or beige and taupe dried flowers, it's totally up to you.

"Even if you love more summery florals like peonies, you can still incorporate these into a boho wedding florals by mixing them with something like eucalyptus or pampas grass for a rustic finish."
