Trend Alert! Macramé Styling Ideas for a Boho Wedding

Cool crochet details for your big day!

All trends come and go, but if something is gorgeous enough, it'll eventually make a comeback. Macramé may have been big news back in the '70s, but over the past couple of years it's made a big resurgence in interiors, and creative brides have been bringing back this boho detail for their wedding décor too! Perfect for a rustic, earthy, or 1970s-inspired celebration (or something in between!), macramé wedding details are a modern way to represent retro, bohemian style. To show you how cool and covetable this trend is, we thought we'd share our favourite macramé wedding ideas. Get ready to swoon!

Macramé Ceremony Backdrops

We’re a little bit in love with macramé backdrops for wedding ceremonies. Get creative and add fresh flowers, foliage or dried blooms for extra wow factor.

Macramé Bouquets

A macrame bouquet wrap is such a refreshing idea, don't you think? It's a nice alternative for brides who want to add something extra to their bouquet but aren't feeling the colourful ribbon trend!

Macramé Chair Decor

If you're thinking of ditching the traditional Mr and Mrs signs, why not hang macramé on the back of your ceremony or reception chairs instead?

Hanging Macramé Decor

I think almost every home had one of these pots in the '70s, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to find it in the attic! Hanging macramé decor adds instant boho drama and gives your reception space a clear focal point.
