What is a boho wedding dress?
A boho wedding dress is a unique and effortless gown for the free-spirited bride. Some of the hallmarks of bohemian gowns are graphic lace, dramatic sleeves, free-flowing silhouettes, and vintage-inspired details. These aren’t your traditional wedding gowns — but that’s what makes them so stunning!
Boho wedding dresses can also range from super laid-back + easygoing, with comfortable silhouettes and tons of movement, to ultra intricate + detailed, with allll the ruffles, appliqués, and statement sleeves. They also often take inspiration from the freedom and beauty of nature (read: lots of florals!).
Why We Love Boho Wedding Dresses
It would easier to say what we DON’T love about boho wedding dresses (the list is basically non-existent)! They’re some of our faves here at GWS — both because of how ethereal and beautiful they are and because they stand out from the crowd.
While boho wedding dresses may not be the classic grand, ballgown style, they still make a statement with their unique, carefree, and often whimsical vibes. And because of this, they’re the perfect way to showcase your unique, carefree, and whimsical personality! Which brings us to our next FAQ…
What types of people are boho wedding dresses best for?
If you’d rather go barefoot than wear sky-high heels, or tie the knot in a desert versus a 5-star hotel, then boho wedding dresses may be calling your name! Bohemian gowns are best for the types of people that follow their own path instead of trends — including with their weddings.
They also tend to speak to people who love the great outdoors. If your dream ceremony takes place on a mountaintop, next to the ocean, or in a whimsical forest filled with wildflowers, a boho wedding dress will be right at home walking down the (unconventional) aisle.
So, ready to skip the age-old traditions, embrace your rad unique style, and have the magical celebration of your dreams? Boho wedding dresses are here. for. YOU.
How do you style a bohemian wedding dress?
The boho style is known for being unique and a little non-traditional, so the best ways to style boho wedding dresses will also be unique to you.
We get it — you’re a free spirit who doesn’t always follow the rules, and we love that for you! So feel free to add your personal touch and don’t be afraid to rock something outside of the status quo.
If you’re looking for some style inspo, there are a few bohemian go-to’s that look amazing with boho wedding dresses! You can go for a rustic boho look with cowboy boots, a wide-brimmed hat, and bold jewelry.
Or, embrace the hippie vibes of boho wedding dresses and rock a flower crown, celestial accessories, and a little bit of fringe.
Of course, the boho look is also all about unfussy, effortless style, so you can also keep it simple with a cute veil, loosely tossed waves, and a delicate necklace! The most important part is that it’s true to you.
What shoes go best with a boho wedding dress?
Since boho wedding dresses don’t follow the typical ~bridal~ style, your shoe options are truly endless!!
While you could definitely go classic with a gorgeous pair of satin heels, we LOVE styling boho gowns with unexpected, comfortable, and totally cool wedding shoes. Think: bridal boots for a desert or barn wedding, strappy sandals for a backyard or beach celebration, and shimmering block heels for a whimsical woodland ceremony.
Nude shoes with a bit of texture (like these suede lace-up pumps) are also a fool-proof choice for boho wedding dresses. And when in doubt, why not just go barefoot?!
Need some more shoe inspo? We got you! Check out our ultimate guide to wedding shoes — including where to buy the best pair online and how to find your perfect match!
