When I think of boho style my mind wanders to dreamy teepees and an eclectic array of colors and patterns. Layering all these things together, with a subtle modern geometric touch, we created a whimsical Boho Teepee Centerpiece that looked stunning sitting in the center of our table during our Fall Boho Bridal Shower. Follow the steps below to create an eye-catching showstopper of your own!

Begin by painting your DIY mini teepee a solid color. I chose a pale blush pink color for the base of mine, but feel free to vary it based on your color palette.

Once the first layer of paint has fully dried, apply a strip of washi tape starting at the front of the teepee, and then going down at a diagonal angle on the side and into the center of the teepee. Repeat this on the opposite side.

Next, paint the area below the washi tape with a second color from your theme's color palette, such as navy blue.

Repeat Step 2 and apply another long strip of washi tape about an inch or so above the first line of tape.

Remove the strips of tape while the paint is still slightly wet, and then touch up any spots where the paint may have seeped under the tape.

Create a small floral cluster to add to the teepee by combining a rose bloom from a blush pink kissing ball, a section of leaves from a pink azalea garland, a few sprigs of faux greenery and a bit of frosted greenery.
