If you need inspiration and styling tips to dress your bridesmaids for your boho wedding, you are not alone. From bouquets of flowers to wedding bracelets and everything in between, here are a few important tips.

1) Be inspired by nature: The great outdoors is a big part of bohemian style, so try to incorporate this into every part of your wedding day, including your bridesmaids’ ensembles. This applies not only to organic items such as flowers and bouquets, but also to the color scheme and overall aesthetics. A nature-inspired bridesmaid look creates an effortless and relaxed feel for your wedding reception. Do your research, get outside and be inspired by Mother Nature herself!

2) consider mismatched dresses: Nature is not perfect and does not always go together. This idea can be implemented in your bridesmaid looks by choosing bridesmaid dresses that are not perfectly coordinated. If you are thinking of choosing the same style of clothing in different shades of your chosen color, this is an easy way to hit this mismatched trend. You can even choose different styles and different colored clothes for your besties. The possibilities in this dress trend are really endless and many brides even choose to combine it with different textures, materials, prints or patterns.

3) Let things get overgrown: The nice thing about a bohemian wedding is that everything doesn’t have to be perfect. This goes for flowers, venues and of course your bridesmaids. For bridesmaid dresses, it is okay if the dresses are large and flowing. Overgrown flower arrangements are a good thing. Embrace the natural elements! Especially when it comes to dresses, boho-inspired styles have a kind of unused splendor. Remember to dress your bridesmaids with lace, crochet, large sleeves, or even dresses of different lengths. Choosing a classic boho style or element in your bridesmaid dress will help strengthen your overall bohemian wedding style.

4) Go for earth-colored accessories: Earth tones are always a good idea. These colors are a great guideline for accessories, especially for boho weddings. Leave the bright and shiny colors behind and opt for rich or washed-out blues, greens and other beautiful neutrals. When it comes to shoes, go for something a shade or two darker than your chosen bridesmaid dress, but make sure the colors are too different. They should mesh well.

For other accessories, bring your inspiration back to nature. Corollas are making a comeback this year (have they ever really gone out of style?) And they’re a staple in many bohemian weddings. They are also a great gift idea for your bridesmaids on your big day. Adding extra flowers to your bridesmaid look will emphasize the natural elements in your wedding setup.

5) Choose subtle jewelry: Because of the natural, more relaxed vibes associated with boho weddings, your bridesmaid looks should reflect the same values. This means that flawlessly shiny traditional wedding jewelry may not be the best decision for you and your wedding party. But no worry! There are tons of options when it comes to choosing jewelry guidelines for your boho bridesmaids.

When it comes to bridesmaid jewelry ideas for a boho wedding, consider vintage or nature-inspired pieces. Clean cut and modern jewelry might look a little out of place given the rustic and whimsical qualities of a bohemian wedding. Instead of these modern styles, consider handmade jewelry with different stones or crystals. Rose quartz and other popular crystals are inexpensive and a great addition to any boho bridesmaid look. This also applies to earrings, bracelets and necklaces. When choosing your boho bridesmaid jewelry, make sure that things are light and airy. Leave the heavy, chunky jewelry up to you and opt for dainty and small pieces so as not to overdo it.

6) Alternative bouquet ideas: Flowers are an integral part of any boho wedding, so more is more when it comes to bouquets and foliage. If you go for a traditional boho floral arrangement with fresh flowers, you can replace it with non-traditional flowers like eucalyptus, grapevines, or even small fruits. It can be fun to get creative and choose a different arrangement for each bridesmaid!

If you do without the bridesmaid bouquets and want to choose something different for your wedding celebration, there are no limits to your options. Give your bridesmaids something else to hold like a lantern, metal hoop, or even a handmade fan. Some boho brides even have their bridesmaids wear painted wood with hanging moss or fallen leaves. If instead you’d rather release your bridesmaids’ hands, go old school with a boho-chic corsage for your favorite ladies. It is easy to make your bridesmaids’ flower situation creative and very unconventional.
