What does Bohemian mean...

#what it means to be bohemian #boho chic

However, you try and define Bohemian or Boho ... it is really fun, natural and earthy. When you want to add a Vintage feel to it, use items that say loud and clearly "I am old!" Think about Grandma's old crochet blankets, some old kitchen equipment, an old writing desk to mention a few. Have you ever thought you can use your grandma's wedding dress again... this is the perfect dress for a Vintage Bohemian wedding.


Vintage bohemian ceremony ideas: The best location for a vintage bohemian wedding would be in a forest, park or backyard where you have a lot of trees and lawn. Make use of any old chairs that you can get for the guests to sit on. If you can not get old chairs - make use of hay bales with old knitted or crochet blankets on it. If you are going to get an arch for you wedding, you can definitely make use of the trees to create a natural arch with. The other options are to make use of old doors, old ladders, branches from trees etc. A wonderful resource for anyone that is thinking about a boho wedding is: http://greenweddingshoes.com/?s=vintage+boho+wedding


How can you carry the vintage bohemian theme through to your reception, The easiest is to make sure that you bring the same elements and colors to your reception. Think of old furniture, old bottles, old books and add to that the mixture of wild flowers. When you decide on your flowers you have to forget about the traditional way of flowers for a wedding. Think of a little girl walking in the meadow and picking flowers for her mother. That is the best way to describe the centre pieces for a wedding. any old bottle, old canister, old pot can be used as vases for this type of centre piece.
