What is a boho wedding dress?

If you've started looking at wedding dresses online, there's no doubt you've seen the words "boho wedding dress" over and over again. What is a boho wedding dress, really?

When a bride comes in for an appointment at White Bridal Boutiques and says they want a boho wedding dress, we know she is looking for a dress that is going to be soft, romantic, whimsical, and unique. Crepe, tulle, and lace fabrics are some of the most common fabrics used in bohemian style wedding dresses. Feathers, prints, and ruffles are also frequently used to add a little extra fun. Does this style sound like what you've been dreaming of for your wedding? Keep reading to see some of our favorite boho wedding dresses!

Untamed Elegance

Vintage yet modern

Boho wedding dresses always have one foot in the past and one foot in the present. There's something that gives an antique and vintage vibe yet also feels elegantly modern and fresh.

The Nash dress by All Who Wander features a vintage-inspired lace with long sleeves reminiscent of the 70's. The plunging front illusion neckline with the overlapping lace seamlessly brings it into the present. This bohemian wedding dress is sure to make jaws drop!

Fierce and Free

Fun. Colorful. Unexpected.

We love that some boho brides aren't afraid of doing something out of the box! Today, bridal gowns come in any color you can think of - white is no longer the norm. We especially love a gown with colorful floral detailing!

The Willa gown by Savin London is perfect for the bride looking for a little pop of color. It is a strapless a-line wedding gown with a fitted skirt underneath. The hand-painted florals add an artistic flare as no two gowns are going to be exactly alike. This bohemian wedding dress also has a matching veil to elevate this boho bridal look.

Ethereal Romance

Soft, Whimsical, and Romantic

Whenever a bride asks for a wedding dress that feels romantic, we immediately think flowy tulle! Tulle is soft, lightweight, and provides just the right amount of movement for all of those Pinterest-inspired photos. Often accompanied by loose off-the-shoulder sleeves, there's something about tulle that just screams whimsical bohemian wedding dress. 

This enchanting Martina Liana wedding dress features a pleated tulle strapless bodice with a plunging sweetheart neckline. Softly flowing from the bodice’s floral lace 3D appliqué, is a weightless slim A-line skirt made with pleated tulle to compliment the top and sultry thigh high slit. Detachable off-the-shoulder tulle and lace balloon sleeves cuff at the wrist to complete this dreamy, bohemian wedding look.
