Planning a boho wedding doesn’t have to mean blowing your budget on brand-new decor. In fact, some of the most unique, character-filled wedding details are hiding in plain sight at your local thrift store. With a little imagination and a keen eye, you can transform secondhand treasures into dreamy wedding magic!
As a proud mama dreaming up a boho celebration for my newly engaged daughter, I can tell you—there is so much beauty to be found in the quirky, colorful, and cool world of thrifting. Let’s dive into 9 thrift store wedding decor ideas that bring the boho vibes without the big spend.
1. Macramé Wall Hangings & Table Runners Keep your eyes peeled for macramé pieces in the linens or home decor aisle. These retro beauties add instant texture and a free-spirited feel to altar backdrops, head tables, or even chair backs.
2. Amber Glassware Thrifted amber glass goblets, vases, and bottles glow beautifully in candlelight and add warmth to your table settings. Mix shapes and sizes for a relaxed, collected look.
3. Woven Baskets Use baskets of all shapes and sizes for holding ceremony programs, tossing petals, or displaying favors. Group them together for a textured focal point.
4. Funky Vases for Pampas Grass Look for tall, unique vases—the funkier the better! Fill them with fluffy pampas grass, dried palms, or bunny tails for that signature boho silhouette.
5. Vintage Picture Frames Repurpose ornate or mismatched frames for signage, seating charts, or photo booth backdrops. Spray paint them for a cohesive color palette if needed.
6. Lace Curtains and Tablecloths Soft, romantic, and so easy to find, vintage lace adds delicate charm. Use as aisle runners, sweetheart table accents, or photo booth backdrops.
7. Brass Candle Holders Nothing says vintage romance like a cluster of brass candlesticks. Snag them in singles or pairs—they look stunning down the center of reception tables.
8. Colorful Glass Bottles Thrift stores are treasure troves of colored glass. Use bottles in hues like teal, amber, or rose to hold single-stem blooms or table numbers.
9. Eclectic Mismatched Plates Mix-and-match china patterns are a boho bride's dream. Set a unique table with vintage place settings that feel personal and curated.
With a little thrifting savvy and a lot of love, you can create a wedding day that feels beautifully bohemian and deeply personal. Happy treasure hunting, and here’s to love, lace, and the magic of secondhand finds!
