There are so many ways to pull off this aesthetic. For starters, agates and geodes never fail to create a magical feel thanks to their rich jewel tones. Crystals, quartz, and rough stones also provide an enchanting effect when scattered across reception tables.

And, while the ground may serve as an inspirational source for your boho wedding, so does the sky above. There’s nothing dreamier than a starry night, constellations, and crescent moons. From Milky Way patterns to candlelit glows, celestial vibes are being translated into all sorts of bohemian wedding décor.

Hang Whimsical Florals

There's a wildness and laid-back freedom at the core of all things bohemian. This effortless ideology should permeate the entire design process, from the detailed features to the overarching floral theme.

Opt for Bud Vases

Florals epitomize a bohemian wedding style, so when finalizing ideas for your tablescape, think outside the box for your floral arrangement. A medley of single stems in eclectic vessels can make just as much of a visual impact as a single, large centerpiece. Here, an assortment of blooms in blush tones complemented the gold details throughout each place setting.

Introduce Incense

Be sure to start the reception on the right note by greeting each guest with a bundle of palo santo sticks. Fragrant and mystifying, the aromatic sticks are believed to release negative energies, purify the air, and cleanse spaces when lit.

Go for Grounding Elements

At its core, bohemian ideology is all about celebrating all that is both earthly and divine. These stone place card holders not only reconnect guests with the earth but also quite literally ground the cards in place, protecting them from flying off on a gust of wind.

Ring the Bells

The melodic sound of ringing bells is often used in traditional prayer and during rites of passage. What better way to commemorate the beginning of your journey into matrimony than with an auditory wash of the same harmony? Have your officiant utilize them during the ceremony, ask guests to wave them in celebration as you make your grand exit, or just intersperse them among the décor for an unexpected touch.

31of 50

Use Mismatched Décor

Consider mixing bohemian wedding décor elements to really give your design an organic vibe. An arrangement of mismatched furniture, assorted dishware, or a collection of glasses in a multitude of shapes or shades can create a cohesive yet eclectic tablescape. The trick is to use a deft hand and not go overboard so the results have an effortlessly edited vibe.

To pull off the styling, choose just one item to mismatch rather than several, for example, just the drinking goblets or the chairs. If you opt for different colors, try to maintain the same shape, and vice versa, so that everything still looks intentional.

Disperse Unique Napkin Rings

For this wedding, a white cake boasts a delicate bounty of zinnias, figs, grapes, and apples to create an ethereal display.

Drape Dreamcatchers

Dreamcatchers are believed to be sacred charms that offer protection from negative energies. This beach-forward alternative replaces the traditional web design with an intricate lace pattern and gives it a Mediterranean twist by exchanging olive branches and shells for feathers and beads.

Erect a Glamping Tent

Eclectic and inherently nomadic, nothing says boho quite like a tented living space. Such an incredible setup can act as both a getting-ready suite and the wedding-night destination for a truly unforgettable and out-of-the-box experience.

Seasoned campers or those down for a more humble approach can easily create a plush space on their own. But for more lavish setups—and for those who prefer electricity—we suggest hiring a professional service or glamping team.

Reflect on Rituals

Rituals are a beautiful way to incorporate bits of a personal spiritual practice into the wedding day. In addition to including a saging ritual in the bridal processional, this couple provided rose petals wrapped in sage as favors for their guests. Similar to the burning of incense, the smoke emitted from ancient herbs is considered to cleanse and purify the energy within a space.

43of 50

Cushion With Rugs

Lining an altar with well-worn rugs gives a natural space an air of residential comfort. Not only does it inject color, texture, and an Old-World aesthetic into the scene, but it also cushions the walkway for anyone making the journey in heels. This is especially important for grassy or pebbled terrain.

44of 50

Focus on Fresh Finds

Forgo the usual elements of décor for a tablescape that's, quite literally, far fresher. Farmer's market finds and garden-grown assortments, like green vines and fresh fruits, make for a stunning and eclectic display that's also completely eco-friendly and has zero waste. Guests can even take home whatever foods they like for breakfast the next day or snack away throughout the evening's festivities.

Make a Mandala

The design is symbolic of the wholeness of the cosmos and the connection between everything within the universe. This floral mandala covered the entire dance floor, and its center created an intimate space for the newlyweds to share their first dance.

Hang a Disco Ball

Disco balls are a perfect way to start up a party. Incorporate a few throughout your décor to bring some cool '70s vibes to your soirée.

Dream Up Floral Focal Points

While bohemian floral design tends to lean toward the more organic and casual, there is one opportunity to really go all out and keep with the theme. A plethora of petals or whole blossoms scattered across the surface of a water feature creates a captivating focal point that can elevate any venue.

Celebrate With Music

These miniature tambourines combine the pragmatism of a place card and the functionality of a favor with a playful touch that will be music to your ears. Imagine making your grand entrance to the reverberating sound or watching guests incorporate it into their dance moves throughout the night.
