Steps to Decorate a Boho Chic Party Table
Layered Fabrics
Boho chic style thrives on a mix of textures, patterns, and colors. To set the stage for your boho soirée, begin with layered fabrics. Drape your tables with vibrant tablecloths, lacy doilies, or even vintage scarves.
When it comes to color, opt for blending earthy tones and neutrals with warm, bright palettes. Dusty pink, clay, white, pale yellow and different shades of browns, greens, oranges, and purples are all popular Bohemian color choices.
Eclectic Table Setting
Mixing and matching tableware and decor from different styles and eras can create a visually captivating tablescape that is true to boho chic aesthetics.
Use an assortment of mismatched plates, glasses, and silverware until you find the desired result. Consider incorporating hand-painted ceramics, antique glassware, and rustic wooden chargers to achieve that unique, bohemian charm.
Wildly Beautiful Flowers
Boho chic parties are incomplete without an abundance of wild, untamed florals. Opt for a mix of blooms like sunflowers, garden roses, peonies, and blue eucalyptus leaves. Dried Pampas Grass and preserved Baby’s Breath give a more natural and neutral display. Arrange them in an assortment of vintage vases or mason jars for a relaxed and bohemian touch.
You can purchase fresh floral arrangements from a local shop in your area or order dried flowers and bouquets on Amazon and other online retailers.
Handmade Crystal Candles
Incorporate a mix of votive and pillar candles in elegant crystal holders. The soft glow creates a mystical ambiance for your gathering, especially for an evening dinner party. Homemade crystal candles, such as this Rose Quartz Candle, are infused with crystals or herbs, which can contain healing properties to help raise the vibrations of your enchanted ensemble.
Designing A Custom Menu
Personalize your party by creating custom menus that reflect the theme. Handwritten or calligraphy-style fonts on parchment paper or rustic cards can be a charming addition to the boho chic theme.
Feature an array of international, flavorful and nature-inspired dishes to embrace the boho spirit of adventure and artistry. Here are some delightful dish suggestions to consider serving at your unique congregation:
- Hummus with pita bread or pita chips
- Fresh fruits like figs, grapes, and berries
- Tzatziki with cucumber and cherry tomatoes
- Mixed green salad with edible flowers, berries, and a light dressing
- Grilled vegetable panini with herbed cream cheese
- Thai coconut curry with jasmine rice or noodles
Choose the Right Serving Materials
When it comes to plating and eating your boho-inspired dishes, choose serveware that both complements the theme and serves a purpose.
Bohemian-inspired parties often incorporate elements of nature and craftsmanship - Wooden serving platters, ceramic bowls, and woven baskets match the styles and aesthetics of the party, while still maintaining purpose and cleanliness.
