Brides and grooms are becoming increasingly more relaxed about what is appropriate to wear on their big day, with couples opting for more relaxed bohemian themes instead of the conventional wedding traditions. While advancements within the fashion industry have made breaking the bridal mould easier, some might argue that this reshuffle was long overdue.
A bride no longer has to be bound by the concept of extravagant white ruffles - unless it's an absolute must on your list! Whether it's a contemporary dress for the registry office, a beachy wedding gown for a seaside wedding or even a twinkling evening gown as a second wedding dress, we've got you covered.
The great thing about boho style is that there are plenty of options when it comes to selecting your perfect dress. While boho aesthetics are by their very nature laidback and relaxed, a bohemian wedding dress can be as striking and dramatic as a more traditional gown. There are countless styles available, ranging from slinky slip dresses to intricate lace gowns, so you’ll never run short of options.
To help you find your perfect piece we've researched and assembled a wondrous guide of beautiful bohemian dresses for free-spirited brides. Prioritising size inclusivity, high-quality materials, and an array of silhouettes to match different venues and personal styles.
