Bohemian Wedding Decor; 20 Ideas For A Dreamcatcher Wedding

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.
