🤍 Modern Minimalist

🌵 Boho Desert

Your dream wedding is free-spirited and golden: an outdoor ceremony at sunset, pampas grass, terracotta tones and dancing barefoot.

Boho Desert weddings are relaxed and earthy, with dried florals, rugs and floor cushions, warm colors and a golden-hour ceremony.

Signs you’re Boho Desert:

• You want a sunset ceremony.
• Your bouquet would be dried, not fresh.
• Barefoot dancing sounds perfect.

How to lean into it:

• Time the ceremony about an hour before sunset.
