Bohemian Elegance

By Claire

During the past decade, wedding dress designs have evolved to cater to all types of personalities and styles. Brides who are more carefree might like Bohemian wedding dresses better than the traditional gown. The style worn by Bohemian brides is a combination of cultures and time periods that is uniquely theirs.

The Bohemian style features empire waist, full length dresses that are loose and have a flowing style in chiffon or other light weight fabrics. These airy fabrics are easy to layer and are more comfortable. Bohemian wedding dresses are unconventional and contain offbeat accents, bold colors, or unexpected details. Look for a dress that contains whimsical fabrics with interesting details such as floral embroidery, a velvet sash, a colored ribbon, or sheer overlay. Your accessories should evoke nature or express your artistic creativity. Instead of wearing traditional gold or silver jewelry, wear a necklace of colorful turquoise or amber beads or a wreath of fresh flowers on your hair. http://www.brides.com/fashion/jewelry/findyourstyle/bohemian/
