It's hard to imagine a more beautiful bride than one surrounded by twinkling fairy lights and bunches of wild, bohemian-style flowers. Boho weddings are amazing during the summer months, and they're something that you and your guests will never forget, so we've gathered together some gorgeous ideas to get you inspired...

1. Dresses

A flowing, delicate lace gown is a must for any boho bride! Whether you pair your dress with a stunning pastel flower crown, or some statement jewellery, make sure you complete your look with some bohemian accessories.

2. Flower Arches

If you're looking for the ultimate boho wedding decorations, there's no better idea than to surround your ceremony with beautiful blooms of flowers. An extravagant flower arch is the perfect way to give a dramatic backdrop to your vows act, or as a magical gateway to your bohemian-style wedding.

3. Cakes

No wedding is complete without a delicious cake, so why not tie this into your wedding theme? A popular choice of cake for any summer wedding is a naked cake, lightly dusted with icing sugar and topped off with berries. This is great for a bride who wants something classic and timeless, but why not take a chance with a beautiful boho, nature-inspired cake?

4. Shoes

Instead of traditional bridal footwear, how about trying out some stunning foot jewellery? Not all brides want to go barefoot on their wedding day, but if you're having a beach or garden wedding, this is a wonderful way to add a simple boho touch to your whole outfit.

5. Bridesmaids

Every bride wants their bridesmaids to feel just as special as them on their big day, so make sure you choose dresses they will love. A mix of neutral and pastel colours work best for weddings with a bohemian theme, and flower crowns a great way to instantly add a boho element to your girls' look.

6. Transport

The transport is an important element of every wedding, so make sure it matches your theme. For a boho wedding, simplicity is key. Why not hire a vintage Campervan for the day? Or, if that's not within your budget, a few fresh flowers will go a long way to make your transport fit with your boho theme.

7. Venue and Decoration

Usually the most expensive part of any wedding, make sure your venue reflects your theme. For a boho wedding, flowers, fairy lights and bunting are a great way to make your venue look magical.

8. Reception Drinks

Summery reception cocktails are a brilliant way to add to the bohemian atmosphere of the day. A bright fruity punch served in small decorated glasses or Pinterest inspired jars is a great way to impress your guests!
