As the bridal fashion moves away from the stiff formality of traditional wedding gowns, more and more brides embrace the bohemian wedding dress trend. Bohemian wedding dresses are all about romantic lace and light, airy, flowing fabrics, layers, draping, sheer and lace textiles, unique patterns, and unexpected silhouettes and necklines.
Boho wedding dress designers draw their inspiration from the styles of the Woodstock generation of the late 60s and early 70s, and attempt to incorporate the spirit of freedom and a laid-back vibe of those times. So if you are a bride that doesn’t feel comfortable in traditional, classic black tie styles, take a look at these boho chic dresses, from gypsy-inspired to retro vintage glamour, and find inspiration for your perfect look for a destination wedding or an outdoor ceremony.
