Original ceremonial arches
The ceremonial arch represents the future home that the newlyweds will build. This symbol is similar to the Jewish tradition where a chuppah is used, a nuptial canopy used during wedding ceremonies. It is a square or rectangular structure on four legs covered with a large cloth or a prayer shawl. It represents the « house » in which the groom welcomes his wife, assuring her serenity and protection. It is open on all four sides so that everyone present can witness their commitment and also symbolizes the hospitality of the bride and groom to always welcome family and friends. The material of the chuppah, located above the couple, signifies the divine blessing of the newlyweds.
Today, this element is used and adapted for secular western wedding ceremonies and shows a great deal of originality in its design. For your wedding ceremony, you want to have an original ceremonial arch installed. A draped and flowery wedding arch is a perfect match for a wedding with a bohemian decoration. Decorate it with beautiful floral arrangements to match the bride’s flower crown. This will allow the guests and the bride and groom to take beautiful photos underneath.
A flower crown for the bride
Add an unmistakably bohemian detail to your outfit by slipping a splendid bridal flower crown through your hair.

But this is nothing new, this so glamorous, fresh and natural dried flower headdress has been popular around the world for centuries.
Today, flower crowns are all the rage. Especially for lovers of bohemian, neo-hippie decoration, or during wedding ceremonies. Made with seasonal flowers by a florist or with preserved flowers, these romantic hairstyles that date back to ancient civilizations never go out of style. If you are wearing a traditional white dress, you can opt for a crown in the same tones or opt for a crown of colorful flowers to brighten up your outfit. You can buy your ready-made crown, or why not create it yourself: so you can be sure that it will not look like any other!

Your guests must stamp their feet, want to dance, move, applaud you …

Colorful bohemian decoration for your wedding
Tents and teepees are almost essential to give a bohemian atmosphere. The good idea? Make it a cozy corner so that the children can play in it. A few rugs and floor cushions are enough to decorate them. Another essential point when organizing a bohemian-decorated wedding: flowers, in all their forms. Bet on floral arrangements to embellish your centerpiece, dried flower bouquets nicely decorated with kraft paper, flower garlands, retro-inspired dried flower bells … Not to mention Pampas herbs, to create a refined and rustic decor.
The swing also brings a nice boho touch, but be careful not just any! Choose it in wood and rope or macrame. You can decorate it with small flowers. Also fall for the rattan armchairs, totally fitting with your bohemian wedding and perfect for original wedding photos. But also natural materials such as wood, linen, cotton, raffia, burlap or caning, very trendy, which bring a bohemian chic touch and blend perfectly with greenery and flowers.

Guest gifts

Simple and effective: you can be sure, these gifts will please your loved ones. Without forgetting the essentials of a wedding: sugared almonds. Available in a small jar or in a small bag surrounded by a ribbon to add the touch of bohemian decoration, they are essential.
Giving sweets at a wedding is a tradition that also dates back to ancient times. Initially made with almonds coated with honey, the dragees are offered in number of five and represent the five wishes associated with unions: fertility, health, happiness, prosperity and longevity. Even if the symbol remains less well known today, the tradition of giving sugared almonds has remained intact in our culture: it is the mark of a certain French refinement.
