Boho Blooms
A bride’s bouquet is perhaps the most essential accessory she carries with her on her
wedding day. Like a splash of colour on a blank canvas, the bouquet artfully showcases
the personality of a bride. As she walks down the aisle, waltzes into the reception and
poses for photos, there the bouquet will be. For the traditional bride, a monochromatic
posy or nosegay bouquet will do just fine. But for the boho bride determined to march
to the beat of her own drum, expect a colourful display of wild life.
When it comes to shape, think outside the box. Take your pick from either an arm
sheaf, a crescent or cascading bouquet – each offers a unique way of being carried.
Next, couple unlikely combinations of flowers: proteas with thistles, anemones with
hydrangeas or tulips with air plants. If it feels as though you’ve just blindly picked out
flowers from a garden and put them together, you’re on the right track. Perfection isn’t
what makes a boho bouquet beautiful – unpredictability and asymmetry is. If you’d like
to maintain a certain level of balance, coordinate the flowers of your bouquet with the
current season as well as the designated colour palette of your wedding. Not only will
the spontaneity of your bouquet add character to your overall look, it will hint at the
charm of leading a carefree boho lifestyle.
