Makeup

In makeup, it is preferable to stick to the natural style style or focus on the eyes - fluffy eyelashes and colored shadows look great. You can choose lipstick to match the color of the bouquet or flowers in your hair, the main thing is to remember the most important rule: Highlight either your lips or your eyes. You don't want to look vulgar.

Nails

A manicure suitable for a Boho wedding style can be varied. From delicate translucent French, lace elements and classic white to bright ethnic patterns.

Don't forget about the pedicure, because most often a wedding in the Boho style takes place outdoors and it is customary to wear open shoes.

Bride's jewelry

Among the jewelry, you can safely choose natural stones, large bracelets, or many small ones, necklaces and large earrings.

Bride's shoes

Shoes can also be unusual - either sandals or ethnic sandals. If the location allows, it would be atmospheric if the bride was barefoot, with a delicate bracelet on her ankle. In addition, a huge number of boho-style foot jewelry has appeared. Wicker, on chains and with stones, from flowers. For every taste and budget.

If the terrain or weather conditions do not allow, you can wear decorated boots or closed ballerina shoes

Self-execution

It's very easy to create a bohemian hairstyle yourself. It’s enough to “conjure” your hair a little: add an accessory, light curls or braid a careless braid. Even those who have never done any styling can easily cope with the task.

To work with hair, you only need a comb, a curling iron or curlers, varnish or foam, an elastic band, and jewelry. The set of tools and materials is selected individually, based on the desired result.

The bride's bouquet

A bohemian-style bridal bouquet should be special, collected specifically for a specific girl, bright and asymmetrical, disheveled and seemingly randomly combining completely different flowers and plants. Forget about traditional roses, they will be replaced by exotic orchids, anthurium, strelitzia, protea, succulents, sunflowers. Flower arrangements on tables can even be replaced with exotic potted plants. A favorite technique of boho style florists is to cover some plants in bouquets and compositions with gold and silver paint.

Variations for different lengths

Loose hair as a boho hairstyle is the best solution for any length of hair. The strands are slightly curled or you can use your hands to create a careless, disheveled look. For long hair, it is often more convenient to remove the hair. There are different variations of hairstyles.

Short hair

If your hair is short, it is not necessary to use a comb for styling. After washing, wet hair just needs to be treated with foam. After this, there are 3 options available:

using a diffuser;
winding curls on fingers or curlers of different sizes;
simple creasing, dispersing strands.

The result looks flirty. Light casualness is ideal for an informal, romantic look. A strict appearance will be supported by a classic bob or bob haircut.

Medium hair

Medium length hair looks perfect with waves. To obtain the desired effect, the strands are twisted with curlers. It is recommended to remove excess moisture with a towel. It is advisable to dry your hair naturally without achieving complete results. Use your fingers to form slightly damp curls into beautiful waves.

The average length of hair will allow you to collect the strands in a bun or French braid. They form loose elements, deliberately letting the strands out. It is permissible to direct the braid around the head or move it to the side. This option embodies true bohemian chic.

Long hair

The presence of long hair is the most successful option for a boho hairstyle. Hair is often left loose. You can tousle the strands lengthwise with your hands. Braid braids from the curls of the temple areas. Throw the elements over the forehead in the opposite direction. Secure the ends deep into the hair with invisible hairpins.

A loose Russian braid from the back of the head will fit perfectly into the image. The finished weaving is thrown over the shoulder. French or reverse braids, fishtail are no less good. The main thing is not to overtighten the weaving.

A loose braid that acts as a headband looks beautiful. They make partial weaving from ear to ear or form a circular basket. This option goes well with loose strands at the back of the head. The waterfall looks bright with a careless braid around the perimeter.

Boho style groom's look

As for the groom's suit, one thing can be said - he dresses the way he and the bride like. The range of options ranges from a classic men's suit to a leather vest and bell-bottom jeans of an "old-fashioned" hippie.

The groom's friends need to dress in the same style as him. Choose details that will bring your overall look together.

Choose an unusual boutonniere (wildflowers, twigs, leaves, feathers), a bow tie or a classic tie with a not at all classic print, and your Boho style look is ready!

Summer

You can clearly see how summer wedding makeup is performed in the video:

It is more reminiscent of Greek than classic, because specific products are used due to the hot season. For oily skin at this time of year, a mattifying gel is used, and a light foundation is taken and applied with a sponge. Loose powder should be used in a minimal amount, and liquid shadows will last better than dry ones.

It is recommended to cool the lipstick and then apply it in several layers, first defining the outline with a pencil.

Wedding decoration

Such a wedding is always held outdoors, perhaps on the banks of a river, lake or sea. It was the hippies who were the first in the United States to celebrate weddings on the seashore, because for hippies, the closer to nature, the better. • let guests sit right on the grass, offer them warm, bright blankets and large multi-colored pillows • use tents made of bright fabrics to decorate an outdoor wedding. They are ideal for a photo zone and will provide shelter from the rain; several curtains made of fabric with ethnic patterns and blinds made of beads, ribbons and various natural materials will emphasize the style

It is best to organize such a wedding, of course, in the summer or late spring, when you can afford light clothing, and the greenery or flowering trees around will set the right mood and become an excellent backdrop for a boho chic wedding. Ideally, everything will take place on the shore of a reservoir. Various non-standard sites are best suited as a venue for a celebration: country buildings, various barns, mills and hunting lodges. No fancy hotels or restaurants.

The boho style does not involve decorous sitting at the table, so it is better to arrange a wedding buffet with dancing, competitions and a fun program. Bright dishes are welcome, including those in ethnic and rustic styles, and handmade fabric napkins.

Boho is all about layering, colorful prints and a combination of all the colors of the rainbow - the more the merrier. Boho is very fond of fabrics with bright patterns, handmade jewelry, wicker or knitted items and various ethnic elements.

Thus, it is in boho wedding decor that a dream catcher and animal motifs are often used: deer antlers, bird feathers and animal prints.

According to the law of the genre, the ceremony must certainly be held in the fresh air. Ideally, it is better to find a luxurious lush tree or a picturesque piece of driftwood and organize a ceremony area around it. But in the absence of such, you can make the arch the main element of the decor. Carpets and tapestries, colored ribbons, bouquets in jars suspended on tree branches, glass in metal frames and paper Chinese lanterns, and garlands with feathers are often used to decorate the ceremony site.

A large number of bouquets are appropriate on the wedding table; arrange them generously. Also decorate the candlesticks with small wildflowers. Any food and drinks are served on the tables, the main criterion is that the guests are satisfied.

The swing will be a great place for a photo shoot and will also entertain the children invited to the wedding.

Lighting

One of the most important decorative elements is lighting. As you know, it is light that largely creates the mood of a wedding - making it either bright and cheerful, or more private and romantic. For evening lighting, kerosene and oil lamps, candles and lanterns are suitable.

Stylish styling for short hair

But if you have short hair, where you can’t really play around with French braids, you can use simple but stylish styling using modeling mousse, wax, and hair gel.

Rustic

To create rustic wedding hairstyles, you don’t need to invite hairdressers at all; you can do it yourself.

A great idea would be to braid your hair in a large, loose braid. Place it around your head and decorate it with a beautiful hairpin or flowers. You can simply throw the braid over your shoulder, tying it with a silk ribbon. The simplest version of a festive hairstyle for long hair is done quickly and looks impressive:

comb your hair and part it in the middle;
Braid thin, neat braids on each side, taking strands above the ears;
connect the resulting braids into a ponytail at the back, tying them with an elastic band and decorating them with a beautiful hairpin or a flower bouquet;
The look will be completed by a few loose and curled strands along the face line.

Here you can use ribbons, hairpins, wreaths, etc. as accessories, as in the photo.
