“Gorgeous Venues for Boho Brides-to-Be”
Moving on from invitations, let’s talk about the venue, because where you say “I do” is just as important as who you’re saying it to. An Aesthetic Garden Boho wedding practically begs for an outdoor setting—think botanical gardens, vineyards, rustic barns, or even a cozy backyard under the stars. If you’re lucky enough to have a nature-loving friend with a picturesque garden, give them your best smile and a homemade batch of cookies, and see if they’re open to a magical wedding takeover!

For those of us without a ready-made garden venue, don’t worry—almost any space can be transformed into a boho paradise with a few touches of pampas, twinkle lights, and flowing drapes. Imagine a wide-open field with a backdrop of lush greenery, or maybe a charming barn with wooden beams and just enough vintage charm to keep it boho-chic.
I mean, even Hollywood celebrities have embraced this style! Remember the rustic outdoor weddings of stars like Mandy Moore and Sophie Turner? Simple yet stunning venues filled with warm lighting, earthy elements, and romantic wildflowers. It’s proof that sometimes the simplest settings make the biggest impact.
And if you’re indoors? No sweat! Bring the outdoors inside with some well-placed greenery, scattered lanterns, and perhaps a few strategically placed potted plants. A soft, warm color palette and natural textures can transform any hall into a boho wonderland. After all, with the right decor, you can make a cozy nook feel like an enchanted forest.
Embracing Pampas Grass and Peony Decor: Nature’s Power Couple
If pampas grass and peonies were a celebrity couple, they’d be the “it” duo of the wedding decor world. Pampas grass is tall, feathery, and effortlessly elegant, adding height and texture to any space. Peonies, on the other hand, are soft, romantic, and full of charm. Together, they’re the perfect backdrop for your Aesthetic Garden Boho theme.
Let’s start with the pampas. It’s not only versatile, but it’s also famously long-lasting (yes, you can actually keep it as decor long after the wedding!). Consider placing tall vases filled with pampas at the entrance to your ceremony space or along the aisle for a dreamy, airy vibe.
It’s kind of like inviting a field of fluffy clouds to your wedding. And if the thought of trimming a hundred stalks of pampas grass sounds overwhelming, just think of it as the boho version of going to the gym. Now, add some peonies into the mix. You can cluster them around the pampas or use them in bouquets and centerpieces for a pop of color. Peonies come in a range of beautiful hues—soft blush, creamy ivory, vibrant coral—that all play perfectly with the neutral tones of pampas.
And if you’re wondering about costs, here’s a tip: use peonies as accent flowers alongside wildflowers or baby’s breath, which are affordable and add that rustic touch. The combination will give your decor a full, luxurious look without a full, luxurious price tag. And the best part? These elements look beautiful in both the ceremony and reception spaces, so you get double-duty out of your decor. Place some pampas and peonies at the altar for a dramatic effect, then repurpose them as reception table centerpieces. That’s the boho way—simple, sustainable, and stunning.
Channel Your Inner Flower Child
“Dreamy Dresses for Your Day”
Alright, now let’s talk fashion, because a boho wedding isn’t complete without the perfect look for you, your bridesmaids, and the groomsmen. When it comes to the bride’s attire, think flowy, lace, and just a hint of whimsy. This is your day to channel your inner ethereal goddess (yes, even if you’ve never worn anything other than jeans and t-shirts).
Imagine yourself in a lace dress with a sweeping skirt that catches the breeze, off-shoulder sleeves that are both romantic and a little rebellious, and maybe even a floral crown to complete the look. Don’t be afraid to go for earthy tones, blush, or ivory—anything that makes you feel like you just stepped out of a fairy tale.
Bridesmaids can go for earthy tones like sage green, dusty pink, or even soft champagne. The beauty of boho bridesmaids’ dresses is that they don’t have to be perfectly matching. Let each bridesmaid choose her own style within a similar color palette. It’s a win-win: they feel comfortable, and you get those Pinterest-worthy photos with a touch of spontaneity. And remember, boho weddings are all about being natural, so no heels are required! A cute pair of sandals or even bare feet (if you’re really feeling the boho spirit) will do just fine.

When it comes to styling the groom and groomsmen for an earthy boho wedding, you’ll want to lean into those warm, natural tones that echo the beauty of the outdoors. Think soft beiges, gentle tans, and light grays that add a sophisticated yet casual vibe to their look. For a touch of personality and old-school charm, consider ditching the traditional suit jackets in favor of vests or even suspenders—perfect for keeping things relaxed yet polished. This look feels especially fitting for an outdoor ceremony, where the guys will look effortlessly stylish and comfortable.
Want to add a bit of boho magic? Consider earthy accessories like leather belts, woven bracelets, or even a patterned pocket square in muted colors that the wedding palette. As for shoes, you can skip the shiny, formal styles and go for something softer, like leather or suede oxfords in a warm brown or dusty gray. It’s a small but impactful change that says “laid-back elegance” and fits beautifully with the whole boho vibe.
Natural Charm on a Platter
“Boho-Inspired Cakes and Treats”
Let’s face it, a wedding cake isn’t just dessert—it’s an edible work of art, especially for a Bohemian Garden wedding. We’re talking rustic charm with a dash of elegance, where earthy meets dreamy! The trending choice? Semi-naked cakes adorned with pampas and peonies. Just imagine that softly frosted beauty with delicate peony petals spilling over the sides, as if it’s been kissed by Mother Nature herself.

DIY Cake Decoration for the Brave (or, the Dessert-Loving Budget Brides)
For those of you who want to embrace your inner Cake Boss (but with fewer meltdowns), DIY cake decor is a fantastic choice. It’s simple, cost-effective, and honestly, a lot of fun—plus, you’ll get major bragging rights for having pulled it off! Start with a basic store-bought or home-baked cake (don’t stress, nobody will know!) and add peony blooms and wispy pampas grass stems as toppers. Just remember: a little goes a long way. You want “boho chic,” not “overrun by the florist.”
Pro Tip: Want to keep the flowers looking fresh for the photos? Stick the peony stems in tiny vials of water before adding them to the cake. Sneaky and brilliant, right?

Think earthy and elegant: pampas grass, peonies, fairy lights, vintage lanterns, and anything that feels natural yet refined.
