If your personal style is more ethereal than traditional and more relaxed than structured, a bohemian wedding dress is just for you. “When I think bohemian wedding, I think airy, free spirit with a mix of ethereal,” says Beverly Osemwenkhae, a New York City and London-based style expert. “You can create a bohemian wedding setting by mixing vibrant colors or go earthy with neutral hues." And, of course, the right dress sets the tone. When shopping for a bohemian wedding dress, look for loose-fitting silhouettes, off-the-shoulder styles, and details like flutter sleeves. From unfussy slip dresses to lace floor-length gowns, bohemian wedding dresses run the gamut from pared-back and casual to dramatic and glamorous. To help you find your perfect wedding ensemble, we've researched a wide array of beautiful bohemian dresses for free-spirited brides. We looked for styles in wide size ranges, high-quality materials, and various silhouettes to match different venues and body types.

A bohemian wedding dress is meant to embody a carefree spirit and look effortless in design. Unfussy and unadorned silhouettes are often associated with bohemian wedding dresses. Boho styles are generally artistic, vintage-looking, and dreamy compared to more classic and tailored looks. Can I wear a bohemian wedding dress to my formal wedding? Of course! While bohemian wedding dresses can traditionally be considered casual and informal, many styles out there feel appropriate for a formal wedding. How do you style a bohemian wedding dress? A loose arrangement of wildflowers or a delicate floral crown is all you need to complete your boho look. “For bohemian wedding dresses, it's all about the headpieces. For a more dramatic look, go for a flower-beaded intertwined hairpiece or bold, boho-inspired accessories. You'll want the beading or flowers to accent the dress but never overpower the complete look,” says Osemwenkhae. But for something more minimalist, simple shoes and delicate jewelry always make an excellent pairing. Joline Buscemi is a freelance writer for Brides.
