Ideally, it is best to hold a boho wedding in the summer. Because it is light clothing, and the ceremony itself is usually held in nature, which during this period is full of bright colors (see photos). You can also have your wedding in late spring or early fall, when you can catch some warm days. If one decides to go for the cold season, a winter scenario is also appropriate in this style. Against a backdrop of snowy nature, shades of bohemian chic look stunning. You can play with winter decor, and the guests are allowed to rest on special carpets, covered with warm plaids.

Location of the ceremony and celebration

As already mentioned, the design of the wedding in the style of boho takes place in the bosom of picturesque nature. The wedding ceremony can be held near a lush tree, originally decorating the area for guests around it. But an arch decorated accordingly can also be used. The exit ceremony looks beautiful on the beach, near a lake or the sea, in a park or a flowering garden (see photo). Complement the overall look of the holiday bouquets in jars, lanterns hung everywhere, tapestries, dream catchers, antiques, various ribbons and textured fabrics, feathers and ethnic elements.

And the venue for a gala dinner can be decorated in a restaurant located in nature, out of town. This can be terraces under a canopy or even tents, a hunting lodge with a fireplace if the wedding takes place in winter, or other original structures.
