Plus, it gives a boho-western vibe to your Colorado mountain elopement! My favorite brands for wide-brim hats are:
NO. 2 BOHO COLORADO MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT STYLE IDEAS: Turquoise, sapphires, and bolo ties
Turquoise and sapphire jewelry is always a good idea when planning a boho-chic elopement in Colorado. There’s something about these gemstones that add a unique flair to otherwise traditionally-themed elopements. Most brides opt for diamonds or pearls, but you’re not like most brides! If you want to step outside the box, turquoise and sapphires are the way to go. Additionally, if you or your love are wearing a suit, a bolo tie is the perfect alternative to a traditional one!
NO. 3 BOHO COLORADO MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT STYLE IDEAS: Choose boots over heels

NO. 6 BOHO COLORADO MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT STYLE IDEAS: UNDONE BRAIDED HAIRSTYLES
Having a boho-themed elopement is the perfect excuse to have un-perfect hair. You could even skip the wedding hairstylist, watch a few tutorials on Youtube, and style your hair on your own! In my opinion, the undone, braided hairstyles give the wild, free-spirited look that most boho brides go for.
NO. 7 BOHO COLORADO MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT STYLE IDEAS: Opt for dried florals
Remember how I said we’d touch more on florals? For your bouquet and other floral pieces, dried options will give your desired boho look. If you want to take it a step further, including pampas grass installations will finish it off perfectly!

NO. 9 BOHO COLORADO MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT STYLE IDEAS: Incorporate rugs and cowhide
How freaking cute is this rug that these lovebirds used for their elopement setup? Although they didn’t have any guests, they still wanted a simple but cute decor situation. Remember, your elopement is about you and whatever you want! Incorporating a rug is such a fun way to add a little ‘oomph’ to whatever setup you choose to have! Plus, it’ll keep your dress clean for a bit before we go adventuring ;)

If its just going to be the two of you, having an outdoor picnic is the perfect way to celebrate your Colorado mountain elopement in a low-key way. But don’t get me wrong: picnics don’t have to be boring! We can style one as elaborate or as simple as you’d like, and I also have some amazing recommendations if you’d rather hire a vendor to do it for you.
