Bohemian Wedding With a Rustic, Vintage Vibe
What a joyous occasion this is! This colourful wedding is a sight to behold, thanks to the combination of picture-perfect weather, a breathtaking outdoor backdrop, and happy faces all around. This is one for the record books, especially with the beautiful bride wearing a bohemian outfit. I've included some of my favourite aspects of this gathering below. Finding a reliable bomboniere vendor in Melbourne might be challenging. Here is our recommended vendor list.
Here are some ways to modernise your rustic attire for a more boho feel on your wedding day.
Hairstyles
A bride planning a boho wedding will opt for several flowers weaved into her hair, or a braid that is looser, such as a fishtail braid or a four-strand braid, rather than a tight bun, loose waves, or tight braids, all of which are appropriate for a rustic wedding.
The bride's boho bridal hair flower crown was a modern take on the classic style. She went for a headband in the shape of a crown rather than utilising real or fake flowers. This look is completed with her wonderfully done, free-flowing boho wedding hair, which is complemented by the veil. Wow, you have the most stunning appearance.
Flower Crown
Your inner hippy will be dancing for delight when you wear a flower crown with your boho wedding dress. Substitute a flower crown for the usual wedding veil—either have your florist make one for you, or try your hand at it yourself using any tutorial!
Fabrics
The reception table linens and other decorative elements can be tailored to complement the overall aesthetic of a particular rustic wedding theme. The use of lace, for instance, will evoke an air of the past, while the use of red and white chequered tablecloths will evoke a more casual, country atmosphere. Woven materials, such as macramé and crochet, are perfect for a couple looking to achieve a boho vibe. As a wall hanging, macramé can serve as a beautiful backdrop for your wedding ceremony or as a beautiful cake topper. Plants could also be hung in crotched holders in the reception area or the tent.
Boho Wedding Dress
If you're having a rural wedding, a boho wedding dress is the perfect finishing touch. Boho wedding gowns are typically very lace- and embroidery-heavy and have an air of unfettered romance. It's one of a kind and features beautiful flower embellishment that sits off the shoulder. That's hard to find fault with.
The bride is not the only one who can wear anything with a country feel to the wedding. The bridal party can feel free to adopt this fashion as well. Instead of the standard black, grey, or blue, try a tweed suit or a suit in a lighter fabric. Put on some brown leather shoes and a rustic buttonhole, and just look at these fellas — wonderful!
Bridesmaids' Boho Dresses
That's some serious rainbow action right there! The bridesmaids all wore a different colour that went beautifully with the tones of the flowers. As you will see, though, mismatched dresses are still very much in style. The maids wear gowns of diverse styles, highlighting their unique personalities. The bride looks stunning in her boho wedding gown.
Bridal Jewellery
Rustic brides and grooms often choose vintage-styled jewellery, for their wedding rings and the bride's day-of jewellery. The boho bride's neck is adorned with necklaces of little and large quartz crystals, turquoise jewellery, and metallic floral garlands, headbands, and crowns.
Rustic Grazing Table
Wedding dessert tables are a fun way to spice up the traditional meal. Serve the first two dishes as is customary, then lead guests outdoors to an incredible dessert spread. Keep things on theme by setting out desserts and other sweets on barrels, wooden tables, or tree logs, and decorating with lots of rustic flowers.
Feathers
Bohemian nuptials are known for their use of feathers as an accent instead of the more traditional rustic options such as burlap, twine, or even horseshoes. Feather boutonnieres are optional for grooms, and patterned feathers can be used to embellish each place setting or even the cake. The bride may also choose to wear a headdress made of feathers.
Invitations
Choosing a wedding invitation that accurately depicts the style you want to achieve is a great approach to begin setting the mood for the big day. Wedding invitations with a rustic theme sometimes include elements like a chalkboard-style typeface, wood grain, or big, bold flowers. A boho wedding invitation will feature a more eclectic combination of fonts, as well as feather motifs, dreamcatchers, crystal or geode designs, and repetitive patterns and geometric forms. Rustic wedding invitations call for little more than a bow tied with brown garden string.

Menu
String can also be used in other creative ways, such as to secure the menus during a wedding. Guests at this wedding were handed a package containing a napkin and menu, and we think it's a wonderful touch.
Put some dried lavender or leaves beneath a string bow with brown paper labels to use as place cards.
Wedding Cakes
Despite the meteoric rise of naked cakes as the cake of choice at rustic weddings, boho cakes are getting more coverage, courtesy of icing. Wedding cakes decorated with buttercream or fondant are popular among bohemian-style couples who want their nuptials to reflect their personalities.
Semi-naked cakes are a modern take on the naked cake, with the layers of cake barely visible through the frosting. Real and huge flowers can be used to decorate each tier or drape across the cake in a garland for a more classic look.
When you finally get your hands on your naked wedding cake, place it on a log slice to display it. Put some foliage and rustic flowers around the outside and this might be really attractive.
Lounges
For years, rustic weddings have relied on renting couches and chairs and positioning them in the outdoor location to create a lounge-like atmosphere. Although lounge furniture is desired for a Bohemian wedding, it is more common to see throw rugs and pillows arranged in a picnic-style arrangement across the outdoor venue. On the premises, you might also locate teepees that can accommodate four people.
Throw away those chair sashes, bows, and covers; they have no place in a country wedding. Instead, rent some old wooden chairs and adorn them with wooden signs and plants. You can't get more in tune with your subject than that!
Bouquets
A rustic wedding bouquet might be a cluster of wildflowers for a more country feel, or it can be a luxuriant arrangement of flowers for a shabby chic theme. Each flower in a boho bridal bouquet is carefully selected for the message it imparts, giving the bouquet a unique and personal touch.
Wedding Decors
The use of mason jars at a wedding is practically associated with a country theme. Candles, beverages, and wedding favours have all found a home on them. Instead of mason jars at your bohemian wedding, try using small glass fish bowls for candles, glass test tubes for favours, and other glass vessels sealed with a cork or cloth.
Who knew that even your drinks could have an earthy flavour? Serve various soft drinks and wedding cocktails in clear dispensers if you're in charge of the bar. Put fruit in the dispensers, make up some labels, and set them out on a table adorned with natural flowers and greenery to show off your work.
Hang fabric things such as dreamcatchers or God's Eyes in varying sizes and colours from the ceiling to achieve the same rustic feel as lights strung over tables, whether in a café setting or a barn.
Centrepieces
The centrepieces on the tables at a rustic wedding reception almost always include garlands, wheat, wildflowers, and succulents. The reception centrepieces at a bohemian wedding are showstoppers, full of luscious blossoms in a wide spectrum of colours, from deep jewel tones to pastels. Macramé or other ornamental woven textile runners can be used to display vessels.
Use Wooden Logs
A wedding cake stand isn't the only thing you can use a log for; they also make great place name displays. We can't get enough of these cute place names. They won't break the bank and will make for a charming inexpensive keepsake for your wedding guests.
Choose Wooden Table Numbers
Each table at your wedding reception will look extra special with wooden table numbers cut in a beautiful calligraphy script. Put them in flower pots or water cans with wildflowers for instant visual impact.
Use of Jars
You may save money and add a charming, rustic touch to your tables by using jam jars instead of vases. Put a cord through the vases you're wrapping with hessian to make them look more country.
If you're stressed out from all the preparations, this is a perfect job for your bridesmaids to take on. A bohemian, rustic aesthetic can look very put-together with very little work on your part. The colour combination is typically one that exists peacefully in a garden, and the furniture is simple but eye-catching.

Boho weddings incorporate an eclectic mix of natural, rustic, and vintage details into the design. If you're looking to have a bohemian-themed wedding, be sure to check out all of our invitation, cake, flower, décor, and venue ideas for inspiration.
Rustic wedding style refers to anything a bit rough around the edges, a bit more organic, and a bit more boho. Think forest weddings with leaves and branches as décor. Or farm weddings with organic produce woven throughout the floral arrangements.
Inspired by nature and the bohemian romantic free spirit, boho-chic wedding decor is most brides' favourite wedding theme. Soft and romantic with a poetic vibe and just slightly opulent, the bohemian wedding decor staples include earthy tones, natural elements, and delicate materials inspired by nature and the outdoors.
Rustic Boho. Using natural materials and an earthy palette, you can tone down the glitz of boho styling without losing its signature mix-and-match look. Add pops of colour for extra boho flair, but keep the large furniture pieces neutral to ground the room in solid tones.
The simplest way to think of each of them is to remember that a rustic theme pertains to natural elements, lots of greenery, and an organic mindset. Boho, on the other hand, is more whimsical, romantic, and eclectic.
Conclusion
As opposed to a tight bun, loose waves, or tight braids, a boho bride will choose to have flowers weaved into her hair or wear her hair in a looser braid. Try your hand at making a flower crown in place of the traditional wedding veil. Rustic weddings allow for a lot of flexibility when it comes to the table linens and other decor used for the reception. Boho wedding dresses are known for their ethereal quality and often feature intricate embroidery or lace. Consider a tweed suit or another lighter fabric as an alternative to the standard black, grey, or blue suit.
As an alternative to more conventional rustic accents like burlap, twine, or even horseshoes, feathers have become synonymous with Boho weddings. Grooms are not required to wear feather boutonnieres, but they are welcome to wear them if they so choose. Renting couches and chairs and setting them up in an outdoor location has long been a staple of rustic weddings. Rustic wedding bouquets can range from a simple bunch of wildflowers to an elaborate floral arrangement in keeping with the shabby chic aesthetic. A bohemian or rustic style can look polished with minimal effort.
Table centrepieces at a country wedding typically feature wheat, wildflowers, succulents, and garlands. Woven textile runners, such as those made with macramé or other decorative knotting techniques, can be used to showcase objects.
