A lot of factors contribute to the perfect wedding, one of which is a great bridal look. In fact, Springer.com says that most brides try on several wedding dresses just to find the right one. But generally, apart from their sartorial choices, brides expend effort into making sure their overall appearance is at its best during the wedding.

On that note, one look that you may be interested in is bohemian-inspired. Bohemian style is a mixture of elements, calling on images of warm and neutral shades, statement accessories, and billowy silhouettes. Bohemian style is timeless, and if you want to achieve the look for your wedding, below are a few tips that can help:

Hair
Bohemian style is embodied by fuss-free hair. As shown in our post on Blushfashion.boutique, you can opt for simple waves to capture the bohemian aesthetic. Aside from windblown hair, you can also do boho-chic braids. These are beautiful across all seasons, but it’s especially fitting if your wedding will take place during the warmer months. Usually, you can style the tousled braid with a middle part to really highlight your face and makeup. You can also add whimsical accents like a flower crown to match the romantic atmosphere of your big day.

Makeup
Bohemian makeup looks give off ethereal vibes with dewy skin and soft peach and pink hues. For your base, choose a foundation with a satin finish instead of a matte one. This helps your skin avoid looking dry and emphasizes its glow. For your cheeks and lips, choose shades that provide a natural-looking flush of color. That said, look for lip glosses that give off a subtle sheen versus bold lips. As lip glosses on PrettyMe.ph demonstrate, these are made with emollients so your lips retain their healthy smoothness and shine throughout the event. Lastly, for your eyes, earth-toned eyeshadows are ideal for tying the look together. You can also add a touch of shimmer so that your eyes catch the light as you walk down the aisle.

Natural styles are a staple in the bohemian aesthetic. When choosing your wedding dress, search for designs that incorporate floral vintage lace or are in the color of champagne or pearl. Flowing silhouettes also play a huge role in capturing the essence of bohemian style, so stick to feminine gowns that you can seamlessly move around in. For those who lean on the petite side, tiered maxi dresses that cut right below the ankles give off the illusion of length without sacrificing volume. And if you want to elevate your wedding dress, you can also look for adornments like patchwork designs, fringes, and bell sleeves. These eclectic details will definitely turn heads during your special day.

Accessories
There are tons of options that can complement and complete your bohemian bridal look. For one, according to an article on Vogue.in, jewelry like gem-decked rings and beaded bracelets are great for a dash of color. And if you’re feeling particularly feisty, you can also wear vintage hats or cinch your wedding dress with a studded suede belt. Now, if you're holding your reception outdoors or by the beach, consider topping off your ensemble with a floral turban or a straw hat. What’s wonderful about bohemian style is that the possibilities are endless, so you have a diverse selection of accessories to choose from for your wedding.
