Teen Boho Birthday Bash

My daughter recently celebrated her 15th birthday with a teen Boho Birthday Bash which was a beautiful, chic celebration for a beautiful young lady. 

It feels like just yesterday that I was hosting her Strawberry Shortcake party.  So, it was a bittersweet moment planning this chic boho party to realize that my little girl is growing up.  But, this was such a fun party and I can’t wait to share all the stunning details with you.

What is Boho-chic?

Boho-chic is a style drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences.  With a free-spirited aesthetic that mixes natural flowers, retro patterns, and warm tones this style lends itself perfectly to a teen party.

Traditional Bohemian-inspired decor combines items that are relaxed, bold, and unconventional.  Which is great for mixing and matching patterns and styles to create a Boho-chic party.

Teen Boho Birthday Party Ideas

Boho Party Table Setting 

My daughter originally wanted to set up her party outside in the backyard with string lights and a low table. However, the weather in Texas in January is unpredictable and it was going to be a little too chilly for an outdoor party.

So, we created a Boho table setting indoors with a beautiful balloon garland backdrop.  I rented a low farmhouse-style table and gathered all the rugs, and pink pillows to create a warm sunset-inspired table setting.

I mixed and matched neutral woven chargers and layered them with white plates. A mix of blush and rust-colored napkins were laid on top of the white plates and then topped with pink dessert plates. Gold flatware and pink cut crystal goblets completed each place setting.

Boho Floral Centerpieces

Create eye-catching centerpieces for your table by mixing and matching dried florals, fresh flowers, and pink bud vases.  

I lined the center of the table with a subtle pink satin table runner to serve as the backdrop for my simple, yet stunning centerpiece. I added eucalyptus garland down the center of the table and mixed in a variety of pink bud vases filled with fresh flowers.

This past fall I made a faux flower centerpiece for my Pink Boho Fall Table Setting and it was the perfect addition to this table setting too!

How to Make Boho Balloon Garland

Creating a focal point for your party is a key element to making it stand out.  Fortunately, one of the hottest party trends also happens to be a fairly inexpensive way to make a big impact.  Balloon garlands are all the rage right now, and they are easy to make.  

To make a Boho inspired balloon garland you will first need a variety of balloons in shades of pink, peach and rose gold.  I used a balloon pump to inflate the balloons and tied them in an ombre pattern to balloon tape. 

Next, I mixed in faux flowers and eucalyptus garland to give this simple garland a more eclectic vibe.  

A balloon garland also doubles as the perfect photo booth for a teen party.  I created some arched panels from giant pieces of foam board that I painted to coordinate with our party colors.  These added texture and served as a fun backdrop where the girls could pose and take photos for the “gram!”

Boho Birthday Cake

Chic boho naked cakes are all the rage right now and I couldn’t resist making a special one for my daughter’s birthday.  

This cake was easy peezy lemon squeezy.  So much so that I shared the recipe and all the tips for creating this Chic Boho Cake with a lemon base and delicious strawberry filling.  Topped with fresh flowers and macarons, this cake was a stunning show stopper!

I set up my vintage desk with the desserts including this Boho Birthday Cake, macarons, and cream puffs.  It was a sweet end to a spectacular celebration.

 

Boho Flower Bar for Teen Party

Every good party needs an activity to keep guests entertained.  In addition to the fancy lunch and all the photo booth fun, the girls visited the Flower Bar to create their own flower arrangements.

I shared tips with the girls on how to create beautiful flower bouquets and then let them loose at the flower bar.  There they picked out their favorite blooms and greenery. Each girl was given a glass mason jar and created their own flower bouquets which they took home with them.  This was such a fun activity and a huge hit with the girls.

This Teen Boho Birthday Bash was the perfect way to celebrate my daughter’s 15th birthday.  Everything from the picnic-style lunch at the boho chic table to the boho balloon garland was a celebration to remember!
