Bohemian Theme Decor

Upcycle Chic
For instance, old bottles or mason jars can be transformed into charming decorations by adding florals, twine, and twinkling lights. A stunning photo backdrop made with fringe and flowers effortlessly captures the natural essence essential to a bohemian party.
You can also achieve the boho theme using a crocheted blanket or shawls for a backdrop. For a touch of teepee ambiance in your tableware, consider crafting delightfully simple teepee dessert table toppers. They’re quick to make and can be assembled using sticks, twine, and scrap fabric.
