Bohemian Theme Decor
One of the best things about a boho-themed party is that being eclectic is encouraged! Don’t have matching dinnerware? That’s fine — mixing and matching is great. Do you have 16 vases that are different sizes and shapes? Perfect. This party theme is all about being warm, friendly, and natural.
Upcycle Chic
For instance, old bottles or mason jars can be transformed into charming decorations by adding florals, twine, and twinkling lights. A stunning photo backdrop made with fringe and flowers effortlessly captures the natural essence essential to a bohemian party.
You can also achieve the boho theme using a crocheted blanket or shawls for a backdrop. For a touch of teepee ambiance in your tableware, consider crafting delightfully simple teepee dessert table toppers. They’re quick to make and can be assembled using items readily available in your yard or garden.
