Gone are the days of brides, grooms, and wedding guests wearing stuffy and overly formal clothes during weddings.
Modern weddings gave us the rise of civil ceremonies, destination weddings, intimate unions, more relaxed church laws, and many more.
Adding to the fruits of modern weddings is being able to apply themes, such as colour, movie, book, or interest, to wedding ceremonies and receptions.
One of the beloved themes that captured the hearts of brides and grooms is the boho theme.
The Boho Bridesmaid Dresses
The term boho is an abbreviation for Bohemian homeless. They were nomads of gypsy ethnicity from the Bohemian region.
If you noticed, there is a term boho style or boho Chic. Sometimes this is referred to as gypsy style.
A boho bridesmaid dress is an effortless dress for the free-spirited bridesmaid.
It is brought to life through lightweight fabrics, graphic or light as air lace, dramatic or delicate flutter sleeves, and simple loose-fitting silhouettes.
Since boho bridesmaid dresses do not have boning or wires, a bridesmaid can capture the carefree and free-spirited vibe as she gets to move comfortably.
Boho bridesmaid dresses can come in warm, earthy, and muted red, orange, pink, and yellow colours since boho-themed weddings are a mixture of tints and splashes of those.
You can wear a bridesmaid dress of any colour palette that reminds you of a rich summertime sunset. You can also experiment with earthy tones like green, brown, tan, and ivory.
There is another term confused with boho style. It is the term hippie. The main difference between the two is their origin. Hippie has a political history, while Boho comes from an aesthetic background.
Why choose boho bridesmaid dresses
Due to their simplicity, boho bridesmaid dresses have become a favourite. With a few details like the off-the-shoulder neckline, you can already cop off the boho vibe.
Another reason a boho bridesmaid dress has become a go-to wedding entourage dress is because of its comfort. The long hours of the wedding day---- preparation, pre-nuptial photo shoot, ceremony, post-nuptial pictorial, reception, and after patty--- make it logical to wear something comfortable.
The A-line boho bridesmaid dress in chiffon fabric is a staple of most boho-themed weddings. This silhouette flatters almost any body type making it the first option for a boho bridesmaid dress. Some boho bridesmaid dresses also have embroidered laces in the neckline or sleeves.
As mentioned, boho bridesmaid dresses usually come in warm and earthy colours. Therefore, they are easy to match with any wedding theme. With the rise of more creative couples and the fact that some bridesmaids have the freedom to choose their dress, looking for that theme-apt bridesmaid dress can be a struggle.
Let's say you are a bridesmaid who doesn't like a boho-themed wedding. You can still bring out your personality and style. Boho bridesmaid dresses are flexible and versatile. Add your jewellery, sport your favourite hairstyle or wear your well-fitted shoes to feel confident even attending a wedding with a theme you do not like.
Another proof that boho bridesmaid dresses are flexible and versatile is the fact that these dresses are perfect for mixing and matching. Bridesmaids can now wear dresses of the same colour or complementary colours of different dress styles.
