Boho Wedding Trend - Macrame

If you’re planning a boho wedding then you absolutely have to include macramé details in your day. Not only is macramé totally on trend, it’s also great for wedding DIY (and we love a good DI). . As macramé is essentially ‘the art of the knot’, it really couldn’t be more perfect for weddings!

There are literally so many ways to include macramé in your wedding from huge hanging decorations to tiny details and even wedding favours or gorgeous headbands. There’s also nothing stopping you from using coloured macramé in your plans if you’d like to bring your boho colour scheme to life.

A macramé backdrop really sets the scene for your boho wedding. These are great pieces because they can be used for your ceremony, during your photos and then moved to sit behind your top table. Bring your backdrop to life with seasonal flowers, lots of foliage and other boho accessories.

The boho bride loves to do things differently so don’t be afraid to use macramé instead of traditional wedding items. A delicate headpiece makes a really memorable alternative to a veil.

A macramé wrap is the perfect boho alternative to bouquet ribbons.

If you are keen to tackle some Macrame DIY you could try creating the boho alternative to chair bows and covers, a macramé swag is a great addition to your day. Don’t feel that you have to make hundreds either – you could just craft two, one each for you and your partner, if you’re short on time.

A gorgeous macramé ‘net’ makes a really fabulous place to hang your seating arrangements! Simply peg the seating details onto the macramé, decorate and hang. The open nature of this design means it’s quicker to craft than denser pieces.

Another super cute DIY is a macramé cake topper or decoration

Macramé holders for suspended florals are a must have for your Boho wedding. If you’re going to make your own, make sure you know the size of the pot or holder so that your flowers are securely held in place.

A macramé hanging behind your cake or dessert table will bring an empty wall to life and really highlight the cake below. A macramé piece this size will also slot neatly into your home after your wedding day too - bonus !
