What Defines a Bohemian Hairstyle?

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

Natural Hair

Bohème fashion is characterised by a sense of freedom: while inspired by the style of the hippies, it aims to be both feminine and elegant. This also applies to hairstyles, which highlight 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 anymore! On the contrary, it's these charming imperfections that will add character to your hairstyle!

Refined Accessories

To change up your usual look for a special occasion, it’s not always necessary to have an incredibly complex hairstyle. Simple accessories, chosen with care, can beautifully enhance your hair and add a touch of elegance!

It could be, for example, a comb, a hair clip, a lovely tiara, or even a flower crown.

💍 Don't forget about jewellery, which, although not worn in your hair, complements and enhances your hairstyle! Golden and rose gold tones are particularly suited to the bohemian style.

What bohemian bun to wear for a wedding?

Chic and alluring, the bun is a perfect hairstyle for those who wish to highlight their nape and back. The bride, often seen from behind, especially during the ceremony, will certainly appreciate the appeal of this type of hairstyle. If you’re interested in this hairstyle, you’ll find a range of different types of bohemian buns in the following sections.

A loose low bun to accentuate your backless dress

This type of bun is positioned at the back of the head, just above the nape of the neck. It requires having hair that is somewhat long, ideally at least down to the shoulders. It will look stunning with a backless dress, especially if you have a rather elongated silhouette. It can be braided or left loose and should not be too strict. Some strands can escape to create waves, giving you a very romantic look.

👉 If you have a veil and want to pin it at the nape of your neck, this is the hairstyle for you!

Dare to try the high bun to accentuate your face

If your hair is a bit too short for a low hairstyle, you can opt for a high bun. This style is positioned at the top of your head, where you would normally tie a ponytail. If your hair has highlights, this is the perfect hairstyle to showcase them. To create a bohemian-style bun, hairstylists often tease and lightly curl your hair to add volume. This results in a balanced and very elegant hairstyle that enhances 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 strict, yet still keeps your hair in place? If so, you might consider a side bun. This style sits like a low bun but is positioned off to one side rather than at the nape of your neck. It particularly enhances round and oval faces, adding a touch of definition thanks to its asymmetry.

A few tips to give your bun a chic bohemian look

Once you have chosen the type of bun, it is essential, especially if you want to embrace the bohemian trend, to personalise it. A simple classic bun may come across as a bit too formal and seem out of place. To give it a boho vibe, you could for instance:

  • Braid a few strands of your hair to be incorporated into the bun or wrapped around to secure it,
  • Add some delicate accessories, such as small fine pearls, around certain strands,
  • Give it a soft effect by not pulling it too tight and allowing a few curls to escape artfully, or letting them fall naturally,
  • Adorn it with flowers to instantly create a very floral look.

How to Braid Long Hair in a Bohemian Style 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 perfect choice for you. They offer a wide variety of styles and are wonderfully feminine.

A Side Braid, Hippie Style

Like the asymmetrical bun, a side braid offers a unique twist and enhances round and oval faces. Inspired by bohemian hairstyles, it creates a very natural and romantic effect, making you look radiant. It's not overly complicated to achieve: depending on your hairstyling skills, you can do it yourself or ask a friend for help. However, if you want to embellish it with flowers or if you prefer it to start higher up, I recommend seeking the expertise of 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 elevate your outfit and silhouette. This is, of course, achievable if you have long hair, or even very long hair. Similar to a side braid, this style can be adorned with flowers or pearls, adding a refined and elegant touch.

Enhance Your Face with a Crown Braid

The crown braid is a very pleasant hairstyle to wear, as it holds the hair well and allows for a lot of freedom of movement. It frames the face with great style, especially enhancing more angular features. One of its advantages is that it can be created with medium-length hair, which can be handy if you don't have the time or desire to let your hair grow out.

👉 However, as this is a complex hairstyle, I can only recommend having it done by your hairdresser!

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

Would you like a bohemian chic style for your wedding, but have short hair? Or perhaps a bob? Although boho fashion typically showcases models with long hair, it's entirely possible to embrace this style with short hair!

Here are a few hairstyle ideas that you can have created by a hairdresser, who will be able to give your hair a charmingly natural and tousled appearance:

  • A wavy bob adorned with a floral crown,
  • An asymmetrical braid on one side of your head,
  • An afro hairstyle, perfect for those with beautiful curly hair,
  • Hair left simply in its natural state, slightly curly and accessorised with bohemian jewellery.

Floral Accessories: The Secret Behind Chic Bohemian Wedding Hairstyles

Natural, festive and incredibly elegant, flowers are perfect for enhancing your hair on special occasions and breaking away from the everyday. Their colours and delicacy blend seamlessly into a chic bohemian style, making floral accessories the perfect finishing touch to your outfit for a wedding in this trend.

The Flowered Comb

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

How to Wear It?

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

Natural or Artificial?

The natural crown has the matchless beauty of real flowers. However, it is delicate and only lasts for a day, or even half a day in warm weather. That said, there are lovely artificial crowns with convincingly imitated flowers that you can wear on various occasions or keep as a memento.
