Boho wedding dresses are hugely popular right now. This style of dress appeals to carefree, creative brides who want a dress that is as free-spirited as they are themselves. A boho dress is intended to evoke dreamy wonder and create effortless style. They are perfect for outdoor and beach weddings as well as romantic elopements.
5 Popular Boho Wedding Dress Features
Boho wedding gowns are defined more by the overall impression they make than specific features. The style is so all-encompassing, you can find boho dresses that look like they came right out of the flower child days of ’60’s to modern designs that are somehow both elegant and unfussy.
Unique silhouettes.
A boho wedding dress is all about the bride. You’ll find off-the-shoulder and open-backed gowns. Designs often feature a mix of transparency and opacity. You’ll even find two-piece gowns that show off a hint of the belly.
Graphic lace.
All over lace and lace detailing are popular on bohemian style wedding dresses. Lace patterns often include natural elements like leaves, flowers, and vines.
Light-weight, flowing fabrics.
These dresses are intended to move with you and flutter in the breeze. Crepe, silk, cotton, lace are classic boho fabrics. Billowing bell sleeves, lightweight trains, and even fringed hemlines are all common.
Relaxed fit.
A boho wedding dress is comfortable! You can skip the corset and crinoline and will never have to worry if you can manage to sit down or climb those stairs.
Natural colors.
Boho wedding dresses are well-suited to natural colors like ivory, beige, nude, and off-white than pure white. They almost never include bright colors; when color is used it is muted and gentle and typically used as an accent.
