The codes of the bohemian wedding dress

Some call it "hippie chic" or "boho", others give it an "ethnic" spirit, but then what is a bohemian wedding dress? We've given it 3 codes:

1.
Elegance and femininity. The bohemian dress will be short or long (but often long), fluid, uncluttered and with a simple cut, close to the body .
2.
Lace or embroidery. These are one of the preferred materials for the bohemian style. They will most often be found on the shoulders or sleeves.
3.
It adapts to all morphologies. Generally, the simplicity of its cut allows it to dress all morphologies. Then it's up to you to play with your neckline, a bare back or shoulders...

A bohemian wedding dress, personalised and revisited

What if you optimised your wedding dress purchase by imagining yourself as an everyday garment?

You can choose a simple dress with a straight cut and then decide to
transform it yourself or with your seamstress.This way you control the style while taking responsibility for your purchase.

To project yourself more easily when you make your purchase, you could, for example, imagine transforming it into a pretty spring ensemble.

It's entirely possible to
conserve the embellishments on your dress to imagine a slim-fitting top in perfect harmony with your high-waisted jeans.Also, you can recover the material of the petticoat to imagine ruffled shorts. In this way, your bohemian dress, thanks to you, will evolve over time by adapting to your needs.

You can also recover the scraps to make beautiful bohemian accessories that can be worn for any occasion!

Use your imagination to reassure yourself of your investment,
keeping in mind that your dress will be with you for life.

A bohemian chic wreath

Bohemian brides generally wear one or two accessories. You can make them yourself at very reasonable prices.

Let's mention
the timeless flower crown to place on a long braid, a destructured chignon or simply on loose hair. It will bring a poetic touch to your outfit. Depending on your tastes, you can choose big flowers or, on the contrary, tiny ones. The gypsophila is one of the flowers par excellence of the boho chic style. And for even more romance, you can also pick a few fresh flowers from your garden.

A bouquet of fresh or recycled flowers

The bridal bouquet is also an essential accessory. Although ephemeral, it is the representation of your union and the love you will send to the one who will catch it! Like the crown, your bouquet can be made up of flowers from the fields or your garden, picked on the big day!

For more originality, you could also imagine
a bouquet of flowers made from recycled fabric!

A shawl or cape to keep warm

If you think your wedding night might be cool, opt for a shawl or cape.

There are several options to choose from:

A large woollen shawl knitted by your mum or grandmother. As well as keeping you warm, it will have a very strong symbolism to accompany you.

A light lace shawl or cape.This will not be intended to keep you warm but rather to accessorise your outfit. The lace shawl/cape is definitely very bohemian and will bring chic to your outfit.

For
a more bohemian spirit, you can choose a cotton or satin shawl with long fringes. And to brighten up your outfit, choose it with a colourful floral print!

A lace or fabric headband

sew it yourself from recycled fabric, lace and pearl embroidery.
