BRING ON THE BOHO


Want to be earthy and ethereal all at once?  Like a mix of earth angel and wood nymph? Then bring on some Boho, a look borrowing from fairy tales, early bohemian and hippe/flower-child looks of the 1960s.  Typically gowns gone Boho sport flowing and transparent fabrics topped off with floral head wreaths.  These looks I lifted off of Etsy Weddings from yesterday's weekly picks called--Boho Paradise

TERRY FOX

 One of those designers I have on the top of my list is Terry Fox of the UK who has been designing vintage/storybook looks for as long as I can remember.  Her peice de resistance is the corset paired up with big skirts in either tulle and lace or taffeta and satin.  Add a certain shabby chic vintage influence seen here and you get a very original Boho look she's always made her own .  Terry isn't limited though.  She has four other collections on her website worth checking out especially if you love a kind of waif/fairytale look.  For the more contemporary bride check out her Classic with a Twist Collection.  Stunning . . .

THE SPRING WREATH


Top Photo: A Glamorous Little Side Project via Pinterest/
Q: What's one of the best definitions of Forever?  Well, if spring is the season of rebirth then let's say a wreath circling the head is a sign of eternal renewal.  Spring brides choosing to go unveiled can opt to go all out romantic by topping off with a band interwoven with fresh flowers, foliage and in some cases ribbons.  Florists can put these together either with fresh, artificial, or dried flowers.  Some variations are made exclusively of English Ivy or dried roses and Baby's Breath.  Where to find?  Here are a few plugged in and incredibly talented designers on Etsy worth checking out: Which Goose, Gardens of Whimsy and Andie

SO YOU WANT TO BE A BOHO BRIDE . . .

Defined, Boho is a fashion look borrowing from the peasant, early bohemian and hippie looks of the sixties. Boho can be earthy and ethereal all at once, with gowns sporting diaphanous fabrics topped off with head wreaths made out of fresh florals and greenery like ivy. Hitting its zenith in 2004-5, The Knot was categorizing Boho as a bridal style as early as 2000. Later actress Sienna Miller and Kate Moss brought the trend to the forefront. For me actresses like Carol Kane and Julie Delpy are naturals for this look too.


By the spring of 2005 Boho was all over New York and London. Prevalent in just about every High Street store, those donning this chic were dubbed "Siennas". If Dior's 'New Look of 1947' was a reinvention of elements from the Antebellum period, it seems Boho is 'Summer of Love' reborn.



So what does Boho have in common with bridal? Just take a look at the pictures directly above. Boho is an over-the-top romantic look and if weddings are anything they are just that. If you're into celebrating with a lot of green--both real and the eco-conscious kind, really think about this look if you haven't already incorporated some part of it into your wedding style.

GARDEN INSPIRED

Oralie

Linen/silk chiffon and Chantilly lace cap-sleeved dress with full crinoline petticoat. Ecru silk headband with ivory silk dupioni handrolled rose has a pink jewel button in the center

Embroidered ivory lace organza fascinator with gathered mini pouf. Edge of hat is bordered in Venise lace trimmed with pearls.
SALUTE TO COCO CHANEL

The Chanel Look spanned several eras of changing fashion. Her most notable signatures are close fitting cloche style hats, halters, separates, jerseys and strands of many different pearl necklaces all worn at once. Pictured here is a Chantilly lace halter paired up with a long shantung skirt with a sweep train. The sizel hat is a combo cloche and picture hat so evocative of Chanel's time.  A Shantung Bow with netting lends a great 1940s feeling. 


Boho is back! Theres a mix of imported Chantilly laces on the bodice. The full skirt is gathered silk chiffon lined in crepe backed satin. Bodice has lace cap sleeves and is accented with a gold braid tie belt. Floral head wreath is made up of dried roses and Baby's Breath  . . .
Ondine2
A versatile and modified A-line in luxe dupioni silk . . . Here the skirt is hiked up to show off the meringue on the petticoat--- a Chantilly lace border. The complimentary fascinator is 'vintage with an edge'. Ivory Dupioni with handmade silk organdy florals. Has tulle pouf veil and Venise lace edging with hand-sewn pearls.
Val lace over blouse with blue satin tie belt gives this design a very Audrey look. The skirt is four layers of tulle and a separate slip of crinoline and tulle. Detailed touches include a row of buttons down a V-back
and it is all pulled together with a blue sash.
Above: This tea gown could be right out of a Jane Austen Novel. A white silk dupioni sheath draped with Chantilly lace on the skirt and bodice. Back details include a row of covered buttons and lace tie-back. Price upon request. It can be special ordered in white or ivory through Amy-Jo Tatum Bridal
Below: Perfectly chosen accoutrements to go with the romantic tea gown.  At top right the fascinator is Ivory Chantilly lace and crepe with beaded Venise lace edging. Embellishment is two handrolled silk shantung roses.
