What Defines a Bohemian Hairstyle?

Are you getting married or invited to a wedding? It’s the perfect opportunity to wear a special occasion hairstyle that stands out from your everyday look. In the following lines, I’ll introduce you to THE trend of the moment: the bohemian style.

Natural Hair

Bohème fashion is all about freedom: inspired by the style of the hippies, it aims to be both feminine and elegant. This also applies to hairstyles, which emphasize the natural movement of your hair. Many bohemian women 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 of hair anymore! On the contrary, it’s these charming imperfections that add character to your hairstyle!

Elegant Accessories

To switch things up on a holiday, you don’t necessarily need to go for an extremely complicated hairstyle. Simple accessories, chosen thoughtfully, can beautifully enhance your hair and give you a charming look!

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

💍 Don’t forget about jewelry; while it may not be worn in your hair, it complements and enhances your hairstyle! Golden and rose gold tones are especially suited for a bohemian style.

What Bohemian Bun to Wear for a Wedding?

Chic and alluring, the bun is a perfect hairstyle for those who want to highlight their neck and back. The bride, often viewed from behind during the ceremony, will certainly appreciate the appeal of this hairstyle. If this look catches your interest, you’ll find a variety of different types of bohemian buns in the following sections.

A messy low bun to showcase your backless dress

This type of bun is placed at the back of the head, just above the nape of the neck. It requires hair to be somewhat long, at least shoulder length. It looks particularly beautiful with a backless dress, especially if you have a slender figure. It can be braided or not, and should not be too formal. Some strands can escape to create waves, giving you a very romantic look.

Dare to Try a High Bun to Showcase Your Face

If your hair is a bit too short to create a low hairstyle, you can opt for a high bun. This style is positioned on the top of your head, where you would typically tie a ponytail. If you have highlights in your hair, this is an ideal hairstyle to showcase them. Indeed, to achieve a bohemian-style bun, hairstylists often tease and lightly curl your hair to add volume. This technique creates a balanced and very elegant hairstyle that enhances all face shapes, even angular ones.

Bust the symmetry of an outfit with a side bun

Are you looking for a unique hairstyle that’s not too formal but still keeps your hair in place? If so, you might want to consider a side bun. This style is similar to a low bun but is positioned to one side instead of at the nape of your neck. It particularly enhances round and oval faces, adding a touch of dimension with its asymmetry.

Some Tips to Give Your Bun a Chic Bohemian Look

Once you’ve chosen the type of bun, it’s essential to personalize it if you want to embrace the bohemian trend. A simple classic bun might come off as too strict and look out of place. To give it a boho vibe, you could try the following:

  • Loosely braid a few strands of your hair to incorporate them into the bun or wrap them around to secure it,
  • Add some delicate accessories, like small fine beads, around certain strands,
  • Create a soft look by not pulling it too tight and allowing a few curls to escape naturally,
  • Decorate it with flowers for an instantly rustic vibe.

How to Braid Long Hair in a Bohemian Style for a Wedding?

Do you want a hairstyle that’s 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 adds a unique twist and flatters round and oval faces. Inspired by bohemian hairstyles, it creates a very natural and romantic look that will make you shine. It’s not very complicated to do: depending on your hair styling skills, you can do it yourself or have a friend help you. However, if you want to attach flowers or start the braid higher up, I recommend asking a professional for assistance.

A long braid down your back: the boho-chic detail that enhances your silhouette

If you’re wearing a backless dress, a long braid cascading down your back is the perfect choice to enhance your outfit and silhouette. Of course, this works best if you have long hair, or even very long hair. Similar to a side braid, this style can be adorned 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 great freedom of movement. It frames the face beautifully, especially enhancing angular features. One of its unique aspects is that it can be achieved with medium-length hair, which can be handy if you don’t have the time or desire to grow your hair out.

👉 However, since this is a complex hairstyle, I can only recommend that you have it done by your hairdresser!

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

Do you want a chic bohemian style for your wedding but have short hair? Or maybe a bob? While boho fashion usually showcases models with long hair, it’s completely possible to embrace this style with short hair!

Here are some hairstyle ideas that a hair stylist can create for you, giving your hair a beautifully natural and effortlessly charming look:

  • A wavy bob adorned with a flower crown,
  • An asymmetrical braid on one side of your head,
  • An afro hairstyle for those with beautiful curly hair,
  • Hair worn naturally, slightly curly, accessorized with bohemian jewelry and ornaments.

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 look. Their colors and delicate nature fit perfectly into the chic bohemian style, making floral adornments the perfect finishing touch to your outfit for a wedding in this trend.

The Flowered Comb

The hair comb is a simple small barrette with teeth, onto which flowers can be attached by gluing them. This type of accessory can be made by a florist, using natural or preserved flowers, or it can be purchased ready-made with artificial flowers.

What Hairstyle Should I Choose?

The flower crown can be worn:

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

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

How to Put It On?

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

Natural or Artificial?

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