Dreamcatchers have been making waves in bohemian and festival weddings recently, with their intricate designs and symbolic significance. As eclectic decor trends like feathers, tapestry rings, lace, macrame, and geometry gain popularity, it’s no surprise that dreamcatchers are experiencing a resurgence. For many of us, the nostalgia surrounding these handmade charms is palpable – who didn’t have one hanging in their bedroom as a teenager?
The origins of dreamcatchers lie with Native American craftsmanship, where they’re believed to capture bad dreams and filter out only good thoughts during sleep. This symbolism makes them an ideal element for a wedding day filled with joy, hope, and positivity.

With concerns about cultural appropriation on the rise, it’s crucial to tread carefully when drawing inspiration from cultures that hold significant meaning. While wearing a full Native American headpiece may be in poor taste (regardless of its trendy appeal), there are ways to nod to the aesthetic respectfully. Ultimately, the key is to either subtly incorporate elements reminiscent of dreamcatchers or feature authentic handmade pieces with cultural significance.
To that end, we’ve compiled a few ideas for incorporating dreamcatchers into your wedding day – whether you’re looking for a simple yet meaningful symbol or something more authentic and meaningful.
