If your personal style is more ethereal than traditional or more relaxed than structured, chances are you're in the market for a bohemian wedding dress. From unfussy slip dresses to lace floor-length gowns, bohemian wedding dresses run the gamut from pared-back and casual to dramatic and glamorous aesthetics.
Look for loose-fitting silhouettes, off-the-shoulder styles, and details like flutter sleeves to find a dress with a boho feel.
For an utterly timeless bohemian (or "boho") look, you can never go wrong with loose-fitting silhouettes, light as air lace, and delicate flutter sleeves. Bohemian bridal gowns always pair seamlessly with outdoor garden venues or vintage-themed weddings, with many dresses boasting '70s-inspired bell sleeves and romantic antique lace. No matter what details you prefer, consider looking for laidback, whimsical styles that are still durable and well structured when shopping for a boho wedding gown.
To help you find your perfect wedding ensemble, we've researched a wide array of beautiful bohemian dresses for free-spirited brides. For something utterly dreamy, the BHLDN Odalis Gown and the Daughters of Simone Keys Gown look straight out of a fairytale.
