The bohemian wedding style remains a popular trend, with summer the very best time to let those laid-back, festival vibes flow-free. When incorporating any wedding trend into your big day, getting those big and little touches just right will bring the whole theme together in the most wonderful way.
From those bohemian invitations and decorations to boho makeup and hair looks, there’s plenty of inspiration that’ll help you bring your love of boho to life on your wedding day. But to truly nail that iconic look, your wedding gown has to be on point.
Brides offer their advice for picking the perfect attire as a boho bride:
“Bohemian brides often lean towards materials like lace or soft, flowy silhouettes for their wedding day. Many also like to go for sustainable and timeless looks by choosing vintage pieces, often from the late ’60s and ’70s. These are often paired with soft beauty looks with whimsical accessories like flower crowns or other natural elements woven into the hair.”
Still not sure how to dress for your bohemian-inspired big day? Take a look at the boho bridal looks we’ve fallen for this summer.
Timberly by Catherine Deane
Nothing says boho chic like this off-the-shoulder, sleeved number. The Timberly dress by Catherine Deane is inspired by all things ethereal to ensure every boho bride can feel like a goddess on their special day.
The design uses silk chiffon to create a beautiful, flowing skirt, whilst its twisted, front bodice adds to the drama. The off-the-shoulder sleeves really make the design a bohemian dream, providing a modern take on a classic 70s style.
Poem by Bowen Dryden
We couldn’t choose just one bridal gown from British haute couture designer Bowen Dryden. Her unique take on the bohemian bridal look has created countless cutting-edge designs that have taken pride of place in Fashion Week catwalks as well as a host of high-profile brides. Bowen Dryden’s newest collection, Poem, isn’t only organic, it’s boho through and through.
The collection uses conscious materials; billowing silhouettes; hippy-inspired frills; and even ombre, tie-dyed and full-colour finishes to create boho sensation after boho sensation.
Idris by E&W Couture
Cardiff-based designer E&W Couture is well known for breaking bridal stereotypes. Their Idris crop and Idris skirt can be worn as separates for a bold, bohemian-inspired bridal look.
Both the crop and skirt use floral printed organza to let nature inspire – bohemian style! When combined, the full circle skirt (complete with pockets) and fitted top with a panelled back and oversized sleeves create a beautifully balanced finish that’s made for summer.

Harper by Freda Bennet
For brides looking for a little more coverage, the Harper dress by Freda Bennet is certain to be a hit. With its high, square neckline and full, fringed sleeves, this pared-back boho dress puts minimalism first to blur the lines between modern and traditional.
