The boho wedding style guide
Bohemian weddings are defined by natural textures, effortless movement, and a relaxed atmosphere. Here's how to nail the aesthetic from dress to decor.
The right silhouette
Boho is about flow and freedom — structured, fitted gowns rarely feel right.
Flowy A-line
The most versatile boho silhouette. Works for all body types, moves beautifully outdoors, and pairs with anything from florals to minimal accessories.
Two-piece (crop + skirt)
Showing a sliver of skin between top and skirt is quintessentially boho. Great for warm-weather weddings and gives a festival-chic feel.
Wrap dress
Adjustable, forgiving, and romantic. Often features bishop sleeves or tie details that add movement and dimension.
Slip + layer
A slip dress worn under a sheer or lace overlay. Creates ethereal depth and is especially photogenic in natural light.

Dos and don'ts
Lean into natural textures — linen, cotton lace, woven straw
Mix metals freely — gold, brass, copper all coexist in boho
Use dried and preserved florals — they're more boho than fresh
Embrace imperfection — loose hair, undone florals, bare feet
Over-accessorise — boho is layered but not cluttered
Match everything — intentional mismatching is part of the style
Choose stiff fabrics — boho dresses need to move with you
Ignore your venue — a ball gown in a forest won't feel boho
