Hi friends. 👋 I'm sure you've heard the hot word right now. "BOHO". We have a lot of dresses we think are perfect for the boho bride! Let's take a minute and explain what boho means, and to see where you fall on the "boho scale!"
"Boho" is an abbreviation for Bohemian. 🌿 This style has been associated with the hippies of the 60's and 70's, but has evolved since and has started incorporating other elements as well. From what we see, boho is like a return to our roots and to nature. Boho style boasts a lot of earthy elements, complete with neutral colors and greenery abound. Many times the neutral colors are layered with just a small pop of muted color, also layered in different textures. Think crochet, macrame, velvet, denim, florals, sued, layered rugs and even patchwork or flannels. Take some of these gorgeous textures & colors, mix them in the combination that makes YOU feel grounded, and you've got total boho vibes. When adding these elements to your decor, you will find a lot of wood and greenery, paired with vintage ceramics, maybe some gold accents and fun details! ✨
If you're that bride that likes fun, quirky details...you can pull that off with most wedding styles - but especially boho since it's very unique to you!

Some popular colors we have seen over the last year with the boho vibe are blush, gold, navy and green. 💐 Upcoming colors that we have been seeing used and asked about more this year are terra-cotta, copper, rust and mustard. Still very earthy colors but have a little stronger pop of color.
