For the wedding stationery, Bloom and Blueprint Event Company created the dreamiest watercolor invites using minimalist calligraphy for the envelopes and a mix of funky yet totally clean fonts for the details. The addition of fun, vintage stamps also added a bit of character. Whether you DIY or hire a talented artist to help you with your own, watercolor invites are a definite must-have for any boho wedding.
For the groom’s outfit, the team chose a classic suit and brightened up the lapels with a colorful collection of wildflower boutonnieres, which tied the couple’s look together almost effortlessly. If you want something a bit more unique, coordinate the boutonnieres with your bridesmaid dresses by making each arrangement as unique as each groomsmen. Your wedding party will love the personalized touch!
The train detailing and feminine lace trim on the bride’s gorgeous Uptown Bridal & Boutique gown provided such a fairytale feel. As is a must for any bohemian nuptials, the flower crown made for a head-turning bridal accessory. To get the look yourself, grab a few of your favorite wildflowers and create a mini crown that you can attach to your ‘do.
The bridesmaids’ attire followed suit and looked oh so ethereal in mismatched floor-length dresses. Each girl really stood out on their own with statement jewelry and unique hairstyles. For any mix-and-match look, make sure you let your girl personalize her look so she can feel fabulous. If you want the look to be a bit more put-together, give your girls matching bouquets.
We’re also totally digging the bright vibes of these stunning bouquets, created by Katrina from The Amburgeys. The moody floral hues were the perfect palette to juxtapose the earthy look of the surrounding greens. If you’re all about wild and organic vibes, this is definitely a go-to arrangement.
If you swooned over the bride’s look, you’ll LOVE the wild-child styling of the ceremony backdrop. This bright and colorful flower arc was the perfect whimsical backdrop for an outdoor ceremony space and added a super chill atmosphere. The combo of wildflowers and greens played off the varying textures and embodied true indie vibes.
Unique rentals from Scottsdale Farm Tables and Zinnias at Melrose added just the right vintage and bohemian touch to the reception space. The tablescapes were also spot on, including lots of vases and vintage candles as centerpieces with colors ranging from turquoise to soft white. The metallic accents glammed up the modern styles and added some dimension to the look. And these sweet little macarons by Ruze Cake House — in lieu of wedding favors — are just too cute.
Watercolor doesn’t just belong on the invites, people! This beauty took the watercolor cake trend to a whole new level with its cascading flower and two-tiered design. For styling, the bright colors played with palm leaves to cover the table. This type of floral touch would go perfectly with any autumn boho nuptials.
Of course, no bohemian wedding is complete without some extra elements like this adorable burro — so cute! And if you’re a fan of dream catchers, this one is sure to inspire you. You can hang these cuties around the reception area and even on top of the couple’s table for a totally unique design. Such a dreamy setting for saying “I do”!

Your big day is just starting! Check out all things Brit + Co Weddings, and follow us on Pinterest for more beautiful + creative wedding inspo.
Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
