When it comes to fashion styles, I tend to flip flop between two ways, preppy and bohemian. I like to call it J.Crew meets Anthropologie. Right now I am kind of in the bohemian phase where I love everything flowy and and vintage-y looking. When it comes to being a bohemian bride, there are so many options style-wise, from the dresses all the way to the shoes, I have picked a little bit of everything for some tips on being “bohemian chic” on your big day!
When it comes to an updo, I think simplicity is key with a bohemian bride. I love this very basic braid paired with a really pretty flower crown. This bride keeps the makeup really minimal which shows off her natural glow on her big day! With a boho bride, I think its best to be simple but really wow with the small touches that you may add, for example the flower crown on this bride. Everything else looks really simplistic but the flower crown gives it the pop! (via Mango Studios)
When it comes to the dress, you obviously want to wow but without being too over the top and I think this dress does just that thing. This dress is from Thread and I love the ruffled skirt, its just the right amount of ruffle in my book and I think the texture has real bohemian feel to it. This dress is kind of what I would call a “two-fer” where you get 2 dresses for the price of one because the bottom skirt comes off and you have a cute short dress underneath so you could take the skirt off for a night of dancing and still look just as great!

Something that every bride needs is a great pair of shoes and chunky platform heels are totally in right now and they are in every boho fashionista’s closet. While these shoes may be sky-high they add a bit of comfort with the extra platform, I know that sounds crazy but its totally true. Other shoe choices for the boho bride might be some cute wedges or of course their favorite pair of boots! (via Sarah Reves Photography)
With every boho bride comes a very fabulous boho bouquet. Since the dress and jewelry is usually so simplistic, I think a very intricate bouquet is definitely a wow factor for the bohemian bride. The flowers look very organic with a touch of vintage elegance. I love the lace ribbon that holds the bouquet together, it looks very bohemian but you use some vintage fabric that may be significant to you and your family to add that same touch of class but still have a boho flair.
