Southern Bohemian
Chic
A bohemian bride is carefree and re-laxed. She leads a gypsy lifestyle and is inter-ested in music, arts, and literature. She is a free spirit and loves simple décor with plenty of DIY touches. She doesn’t stick to the rules,
instead adopting an “anything goes” approach to planning her wedding. Her personality will show through in the many unique aspects of her BOHO wedding.

The BOHO bride sticks with her do-it-herself approach and displays a more natural hairstyle with loose curls, and baby’s breath for a simple added touch. She highlights her own beauty with neutral makeup for a natural, beau-
tiful look. While her dress also resembles a natural look, there is a simple cutout that gives an extra pop of personality while reflecting the bride’s bohemian style.

Two words: glamorous and deca-dent. This bride combines her taste with Old Hollywood to deliver the ultimate Great Gatsby style wedding. Her theme features alluring décor that is sure to wow her guests, happily taking a reprieve from the 21st Century to celebrate love in true pre-Depression Era grandeur. Her
elegant accessories are sure to make her sparkle like the gem she is. The bride captivates her guests and lights up the room the moment she walks in. The elegant beading on her gown and her gorgeous up-do really add that spe-cial Hollywood glam feel to her wedding.
