What is the Boho Wedding Style?

You may be wondering what boho wedding styles are if you’re starting to plan your wedding and are still learning about the wide variety of wedding styles that are available to you. An eclectic style that blends many textures, colours, and patterns is known as boho home decor. Eco-friendly components that come straight from nature are typically highly valued and emphasized in the boho style. Applying these ideas to wedding décor is a very elaborate and one-of-a-kind design that will impress you and your guests. Nevertheless, a particular colour palette cannot characterize the bohemian wedding style. The boho style can accommodate a wide variety of distinctive colour combinations. You can build your own bohemian wedding using your preferred hues, patterns, and flowers. Here are some ideas for components you may use in your unique bohemian wedding theme.

  • Flowers in muted colours
  • Long ribbons with uncut edges
  • distinctive colour schemes with earthy undertones (consider mustard and coral, lavender and turquoise, poppy and blush, rust and terracotta, etc.)
  • Unstructured, loosely formed groupings
  • distinctive, organic components (such as wheat, feathers, and palm leaves)

What Are the Best Boho Flowers?

Before learning to make your bohemian flower crown, you should know the necessary floral items. Additionally, it would help if you discovered which bohemian-style flowers work best for this wedding craft. After learning about these bohemian flower varieties, you can select the ones that best suit your wedding’s style. Here are some suggestions for the most excellent bohemian wedding flower varieties.

Dried Flowers

For good reason, dried flowers are among the most widely used boho flower varieties. Dried flowers can be found in many images that appear when you search for “bohemian wedding flowers” online. Due to careful preservation, the original colours of dried flowers have faded to stylish, subdued hues that are popular among brides. Even while dried flowers lack fresh flowers’ original softness and fullness, they have beautiful details and modern textures that make them perfect for wedding bouquets. Popular dried flower options include ruscus, yarrow, lavender, statice, rabbit tails, and pampas grass.

Wood Flowers

Natural, conserved tapioca roots manufacture wood flowers, which are hand-shaped into lifelike flower designs. They are the ideal canvas to be painted and dyed to complement any distinctive wedding colour scheme because their natural colour is creamy white. In addition to adding extra volume to any dried flower arrangement, wood flowers look stunning when combined with dried flowers because they have comparable colours and textures. The best part is that wood flowers can be purchased in large quantities, making them relatively simple for do-it-yourself projects, particularly for creating a flower crown.

Wildflowers

Another well-liked option for bohemian wedding flowers is wildflowers. Wildflowers are ideal for unusual wedding colour choices since they naturally grow in various vibrant hues. Wildflowers come in multiple sizes and patterns and are classified into numerous categories. The only potential problem with using wildflowers is that they may only sometimes be in season or grown nearby, increasing their cost.

Floral Filler and Greenery

Using foliage and floral filler is crucial when making a bohemian flower arrangement, like a flower crown. Greenery and floral filler can help give your flower crowns a wide range of textures. Additionally, they can provide a solid foundation for your other flowers, adding subtleties and depth that will work well with them. Eucalyptus, wax flowers, baby’s breath, and other fillers are frequently used for bridal flowers.

1. Prep Your Flowers and Greenery

Preparing your flowers and foliage is the first step in creating a floral crown. If you’re using wood flowers, give them stems so they’ll be more straightforward to attach to your crown. The next step is to trim the stems of your foliage and floral filler to the proper length. You can also eliminate extraneous leaves, thorns, or obstructions like stems.

2. Prep Your Crown Base

To begin your arrangement, you should next prepare your crown foundation. Don’t worry if you don’t have access to a crown base. You may create one using flowery tape and wire. Measure your head and cut the floral wire to the appropriate length. Next, cover it with a minimum of one layer of flowery tape. Adding your flowers, filler, and greenery will provide you with a solid foundation. Be sure to leave a tiny bit of wire on both ends.

3. Start With Focal Flowers

Your focus flowers will be the first flowers on your floral crown. Your most giant flowers should be focal flowers. Since they will be the main attraction of your floral crown, they should typically showcase your favourite hues. Attach each stem at a distance from the others, securing them with floral tape.

4. Add Smaller Flowers

Your smaller flowers should then be placed between each of your focal flowers. To give the crown a pleasing form and variation, try adding them at various lengths and angles. Use floral tape to bind each stem once more.

5. Fill in With Filler and Greenery

Beautiful sprigs of foliage and delicate floral filler can fill in the spaces in your floral crown. To avoid drooping over your face or hair, ensure none of your sprigs are too big.

6. Add Loops and Ribbon

All you need to do to make your flower crown wearable is add some loops and ribbon after all your flowers are firmly in place. Your floral wire should protrude from the very end. Make little loops out of these sections to tie your ribbon to them. Afterwards, you can tie a bow around the back of your head using the ribbon. In addition to making it simple to adjust the size of your crowns for different persons, these loops are necessary if you want them to stay in place.
