15+ Boho Wedding Food Ideas You and Your Guests Will Love
This post is all about boho wedding food.
On your wedding day, your guests will only have one thing on their minds: good food! A memorable meal is essential to any wedding celebration, bringing joy to both the attendees and the spouses-to-be.
For a boho wedding, your menu options and food presentation will play a role in setting the tone and building the atmosphere. Boho wedding themes are known for their whimsical, free-spirited, and earthy elements, and food can be the perfect way to bring these elements to life. From appetizers to main courses to desserts, here are 15+ boho wedding food ideas to copy at your celebration.
Boho Wedding Appetizers
Charcuterie Spread
A charcuterie spread is an ideal boho wedding appetizer. It provides light bites, like meats, cheeses, and fruits, that will hold your guests over during cocktail hour. You can also stylize it with wood accents and dried eucalyptus to add some earthy, natural decor.
Chicken and Waffles
This appetizer idea truly brings out the playful and youthful nature of a boho wedding. Chicken and waffles are a crowd-pleaser and there are so many creative ways to serve them. My favorite way is in these grab-and-go waffle cones.
Oyster Bar
An oyster bar is so fitting for a beach wedding or summer wedding. It’s light and refreshing, which helps emphasize the airy and laid-back elements of a boho theme. You can also expand it to be a full cold bar with other chilled seafood snacks and sushi.
Caprese Skewers
Caprese skewers are also an easy and light appetizer that will pair well with cocktail hour drinks. This is a go-to boho wedding appetizer if you’re hosting your celebration at a garden or outdoor venue.
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Shooters
Grilled cheese and tomato soup are such a cozy, homey duo. The easiest yet most creative way to serve this appetizer is with a toothpick and a shot glass. This presentation also prevents the food from being too heavy or filling before the main course.
Boho Wedding Menu Ideas
Themed Paper Menus
Before you decide what’s on the menu, don’t forget to design the menu itself! Having themed paper menus at your reception tables will add a touch of decor and stylization. For a boho wedding, try using warm, earthy shades and natural textures. You can also match it with your boho wedding invitations.
Food Trucks
If you want to stray from a traditional plated dinner, go for something more unconventional like a food truck. Food trucks are so unique and fun for guests, and there are so many cuisine options to choose from. Some ideas include pizza, tacos, ramen, and Southern food. Food trucks will help your boho wedding feel more casual, free-spirited, and down-to-earth.
Build-Your-Own Stations
Another boho wedding menu idea is having stations where guests can build their own plates. This is similar to a buffet, but it gives your guests more control over their portions and preferences. A build-your-own taco or walking taco station is a fan favorite. You can always opt for a pasta bar or make-your-own pizza bar.
Classic Protein and Vegetables
You can’t go wrong with a classic plated dinner with protein and vegetables. This option is a bit more traditional and elegant, which is well-suited for a modern boho wedding. Most weddings allow their guests to choose from chicken, beef, or fish.
Farm-to-Table Buffet
A farm-to-table buffet highlights the earthy, organic elements of a boho wedding. This menu idea is right on theme if you’re hosting your celebration at a farm, ranch, or garden venue.
Late Night Snacks
At my sister’s wedding, she and her husband provided their guests with hamburger sliders and french fries as a late night snack. After dinner, drinks, and a few hours of dancing, these small, comforting bites really hit the spot. This is a fun way to keep your guests happy and energized toward the end of your reception.
Vegan Options
Don’t forget to make accommodations for your vegan wedding guests! I served an Asian-inspired quinoa dish to the plant-based guests at my boho wedding, and they loved it! Other appetizer and meal ideas that will fit your theme include stuffed mushrooms, cauliflower wings, asparagus risotto, and roasted Brussels sprouts.
Boho Wedding Desserts
Coffee Cart
A coffee cart is a super cute decor piece that will help build an eclectic, free-spirited atmosphere at your boho wedding reception. Plus, the caffeine will keep your guests dancing all night long and pairs so well with cake and desserts.
Donut Wall
Donut walls are such a playful and fun addition to boho weddings. I love how you can use the display wall to add texture and visual interest, like warm wood accents.
Grab-and-Go Dessert Table
A dessert table gives you the most creative freedom and flexibility with your guests’ preferences. You can add a variety of treats to this table–donuts, cake pops, macaroons, brownies, cookies, and more. You can also use the displays to add decor and theming.
S’mores Bar
A s’mores station is so simple, intimate, and down-to-earth. If you’re hosting your boho wedding in an outdoor venue, you can add a fire pit to make the experience even more cozy and interactive. A table-top fire pit will also do the trick! Either way, I think this boho wedding dessert idea is perfect for rustic weddings, like a barn wedding.
Milk and Cookies Station
A milk and cookies station will bring out the inner child in you, your new spouse, and your guests. This dessert option emphasizes the whimsical and youthful elements of a boho wedding theme.
It is so important to keep your guests fed and happy during your wedding, but it’s just as important to curate a menu that represents you and your spouse’s individuality and fits your bohemian vision. Boho weddings are all about straying from tradition and creating an eclectic, care-free, and unconventional atmosphere. These 15+ boho wedding food ideas are the best way to bring these elements to life.
