How to style a Stately Home Boho Wedding

Written By Marco Arrichiello

A boho wedding in a stately home combines the free-spirited, eclectic vibe of bohemian style with the elegance and grandeur of a historic venue.

Here are some ideas to create the perfect boho-chic atmosphere for your stately home wedding:

Venue Decor:

  • Enhance the stately home's classic architecture with boho elements. Consider incorporating draped fabrics, such as macramé or lace, to soften the space.

  • Use vintage furniture, like mismatched chairs or antique tables, to create lounge areas and unique seating arrangements.

Floral Arrangements:

  • Opt for lush, wildflower-inspired bouquets and arrangements with a mix of seasonal blooms and greenery.

  • Consider floral installations, such as hanging arrangements or cascading floral arches, to add a touch of boho romance.

Ceremony Space:

  • Use the stately home's grandeur as a backdrop and enhance it with bohemian details. Consider a floral or fabric-adorned arch or an antique rug for the aisle.

  • Add pampas grass, feathers, or dreamcatchers to the ceremony space for a boho touch.

Bridal Dress:

  • Choose a wedding dress with boho elements, such as lace, flowy fabrics, or bell sleeves. Add a flower crown or a veil with embroidered details.

For the groom, consider a stylish suit with a more relaxed and casual feel, perhaps opting for suspenders and a bow tie.

Bridal Party Dress:

  • Dress bridesmaids in mix-and-match bohemian-inspired dresses in complementary colors.

  • Groomsmen can wear coordinated but casual suits or even mix-and-match outfits for a laid-back vibe.

Table Settings:

  • Use vintage china, colored glassware, and textured linens to create an eclectic and bohemian tabletop.

  • Incorporate candles, lanterns, or fairy lights for a romantic and intimate atmosphere.

Lighting:

  • Take advantage of the stately home's chandeliers and add fairy lights or draped string lights for a warm and enchanting ambiance.

  • Use lanterns or candles in various sizes for additional mood lighting.

Entertainment:

  • Consider a live band playing acoustic or folk music to match the boho theme.

  • Create a cozy lounge area with floor cushions and blankets for guests to relax and enjoy the celebration.

Food and Drinks:

  • Opt for a menu with a mix of organic and locally sourced ingredients.

  • Consider a dessert table with a variety of cakes, pastries, and other sweet treats.

Wedding Favors:

  • Give guests personalized dreamcatchers, succulents, or small potted plants as boho-inspired favors.

Remember to infuse your personal style into the wedding planning process and collaborate with suppliers who understand your vision for a boho-chic stately home wedding.
