What Defines a Bohemian Hairstyle?

Are you getting married, or have you been invited to a wedding? It’s the perfect opportunity to wear a festive hairstyle that stands out from your everyday look. In the following lines, I’ll introduce you to the current trend, which is the bohemian style.

Natural Hair

Bohemian fashion is characterized by a sense of freedom: inspired by the style of hippies, it aims to be both feminine and elegant. This also applies to hairstyles, which highlight the natural movement of your hair. Many bohemians choose to wear their hair down or partially down, often adorned with braids, for example.

With style, there's no need to fear those little rebellious strands that stick out! On the contrary, it's these lovely imperfections that add charm to your hairstyle!

Refined Accessories

To break away from the everyday on a special occasion, you don't necessarily need to go for an overly complicated hairstyle. Simple accessories, chosen with care, can beautifully enhance your hair and give you a lot of style!

For example, it could be a comb, a barrette, a lovely tiara, or even a flower crown.

💍 Don't forget about jewelry, which, while not worn in your hair, complements and enhances your hairstyle! Shades of gold and rose gold are particularly suited to the bohemian style.

What bohemian bun should you wear to a wedding?

Chic and stylish, the bun is a perfect hairstyle for those looking to highlight their neck and back. Since brides are often seen from behind, especially during the ceremony, they will surely appreciate all the benefits this hairstyle offers. If you're interested in this style, you'll find a variety of different bohemian bun types in the following sections.

A messy low bun to highlight your backless dress

This type of bun is positioned at the back of the head, just above the nape of the neck. It requires hair to be at least shoulder length. It looks especially lovely with a backless dress, particularly if you have a slender silhouette. It can be braided or left loose and should not be too tight. Some strands can escape to create soft waves, giving you a very romantic look.

Try a High Bun to Frame Your Face

If your hair is a little too short to create a low hairstyle, you can opt for a high bun. This style will be positioned on the top of your head, where you would usually tie a ponytail. If you have highlights in your hair, this is the perfect hairstyle to showcase them. To achieve a bohemian-style bun, hairstylists often tease and lightly curl your hair to add volume. This creates a balanced and very elegant look that will flatter all face shapes, even angular ones.

Break the symmetry of an outfit with a side bun

Are you looking for a unique hairstyle that isn't too formal but still keeps your hair in check? If so, you might consider a side bun. This style is similar to a low bun, but it's positioned to the side instead of at the nape of your neck. It particularly enhances round and oval faces, adding a touch of dimension with its asymmetrical look.

Some Tips to Give Your Bun a Chic Bohemian Look

Once you've chosen the type of bun, it’s essential—if you want to embrace the bohemian trend—to customize it. A simple classic bun can come off as a bit too formal and may seem out of place. To give it a boho vibe, you could consider:

• Leave a few strands of your hair loose that will be included in the bun or wrapped around to hold it in place,
• Include some delicate accessories, like small fine pearls, around select strands,
• Give it a soft, romantic look by not pulling it too tight and letting a few curls elegantly escape, or allowing them to fall naturally,
• Adorn it with flowers to instantly create a very rustic look.

How to Create a Bohemian Braid for Long Hair for a Wedding?

Are you looking for a hairstyle that is very natural and hints at your wild side? If so, braids are definitely the way to go. They offer a wide variety of styles and are incredibly feminine.

A Side Braid, Hippy Style

Like the asymmetrical bun, a side braid is a unique style that highlights round and oval faces. Inspired by hippie hairstyles, it creates a very natural and romantic effect that will make you glow. It's not very complicated to do: depending on your hairstyling skills, you can either do it yourself or have a friend help you. However, if you want to add flowers or create an updo effect, I recommend consulting a professional.

A long braid down your back, the chic bohemian detail that enhances your silhouette

If you're wearing a backless dress, a long braid down your back is a perfect option to enhance your outfit and silhouette. This is, of course, possible if you have long hair, or even very long hair. Similar to a side braid, this one can be decorated with flowers or pearls to give it a refined and elegant look.

Highlight Your Face with a Crown Braid

The crown braid is a very pleasant hairstyle to wear because it holds the hair well and allows for a great freedom of movement. It frames the face beautifully, particularly enhancing angular features. It has the unique ability to be styled with medium-length hair, which can be convenient if you don't have the time or desire to let your hair grow.

👉 However, since this is a complex hairstyle, I highly recommend having it done by your hairstylist!

A bohemian wedding hairstyle with short or medium-length hair is possible!

Are you dreaming of a boho-chic style for your wedding but have short hair? Or perhaps a bob? While boho fashion typically showcases models with long hair, it's absolutely possible to embrace this style with short hair!

Here are some hairstyle ideas that you can have done by a hairdresser, who will give your hair a charmingly natural and carefree look:

• A wavy bob, adorned with a crown of flowers,
• An asymmetrical braid on one side of your head,
• An afro hairstyle, perfect for those with beautiful curly hair,
• Hair styled naturally, slightly tousled, complemented with bohemian accessories and jewellery.

Floral Accessories: The Secret to Chic Bohemian Wedding Hairstyles

Natural, festive, and very elegant, flowers are perfect for enhancing your hair for a special occasion and breaking away from the everyday routine. Their colors and delicacy blend seamlessly into the boho-chic style, making floral accessories the perfect finishing touch to your outfit for a wedding in this trend.

The Floral Comb

A hair comb is a simple little accessory with teeth, onto which you can attach flowers by gluing them. This type of accessory can be created by a florist, using either fresh or preserved flowers, or it can be purchased pre-made, featuring artificial flowers.

It’s perfect for adding a subtle floral touch to a bridal hairstyle, especially on an updo.

To put it on, you first need to style your hair. Then, simply pin your floral comb in place so that only the flowers are visible.

The Flower Crown

Would you like your hairstyle to really stand out from your everyday look and add a touch of elegance? Suitable for both short and long hair, the flower crown is THE highlight of chic bohemian hairstyles.

What hairstyle should I choose?

The flower crown can be worn:

• around a bun,
• on your hair, short or long, loose,
• on a braid…

It works well with most hairstyles and hair types! Feel free to consult your hairstylist for advice on this!

How to Put It On?

There are several types of crowns. Most are secured with a ribbon, which is tied at the back of the head, or sometimes on the side if it’s a crown that is placed on a bun. There are also elastic or rigid crowns that are mounted on a headband.

Natural or Artificial?

The natural crown boasts the unique beauty of real flowers. However, it is delicate and lasts only a day, or even half a day in warm weather. Fortunately, there are lovely artificial crowns with beautifully crafted flowers that you can wear on various occasions or keep as a memento.
