the bohemian bride

Most girls have a picture in their mind of what a bride should look like. It’s usually an image conjured up from reading fairy tales at a young age. The funny thing is, that vision doesn’t always reflect the woman behind the veil. So, before you lose yourself in a heap of organza and tool, be sure that personifies your style. Otherwise, after the cake is gone, and the honeymoon is over, you may look back at the pictures and wonder “who is that girl?”. Wedding dresses have evolved quite a bit in the last 15 years. Designers realized that there’s a place for fashion in the wedding gown world. Since then, the designs have broadened and the style choices are endless. One of those styles is the “bohemian.” This bride is at ease with herself, and feels a freedom to express who she is. The dress she wears is easy going, and gives her the ability to move freely. The bohemian bride embraces the beauty and warmth of nature, and it’s reflected in all the things she chooses for her wedding. The colors are earthy, and mixed in an unconventional way. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who knows who she is, and portrays it fearlessly. We encourage you to consider your many options, and look at all that the designers have to offer. Your spirit should resonate on that day. Forget the fairy tales from your childhood, make your own magic. Who even knows what became of Cinderella? She could be trapped in a castle somewhere, or drunk in an English pub, or maybe she did live happily ever after. Who knows…..
