A bohemian bride is carefree and relaxed. She leads a gypsy lifestyle and is interested in music, arts, and literature. She is a free spirit and loves simple décor with plenty of DIY touches. She doesn’t stick to the rules,
instead adopting an “anything goes” approach to planning her wedding. Her personality will show through in the many unique aspects of her BOHO wedding.
Southern Bohemian Chic

The BOHO bride sticks with her do-it-herself approach and displays a more natural hairstyle with loose curls, and baby’s breath for a simple added touch. She highlights her own beauty with neutral makeup for a natural, beau-

Two words: glamorous and decadent. This bride combines her taste with Old Hollywood to deliver the ultimate Great Gatsby style wedding. Her theme features alluring dĂŠcor that is sure to wow her guests, happily taking a reprieve from the 21st Century to celebrate love in true pre-Depression Era grandeur. Her
elegant accessories are sure to make her sparkle like the gem she is. The bride captivates her guests and lights up the room the moment she walks in. The elegant beading on her gown and her gorgeous up-do really add that special Hollywood glam feel to her wedding.

Classic Vintage
This is the only girl you know who can pull off the classic birdcage veil, complete with the perfect amount of lace and pearls. Imagine a garden tea party style with delicate china and 16
Victorian era details complete with lace, parasols, big blooms, peonies, and cameos. The vintage bride will give her guests a break from the modern and bring them back in time for
a beautiful celebration of her marriage. This bride looks classic in her birdcage veil and draping strands of pearls. She showcas-
es the vintage look effortlessly, with her hair pinned up and her simple strapless gown highlighting her timeless, hourglass features. 17

Contemporary
The ultimate contemporary bride combines chic, elegant dĂŠcor with a minimalist twist. While her pieces may be understated, you can be sure no details are spared. Get ready to take in the luxurious touches in all aspects of her sleek wedding. The mod-
ern bride pays attention to the little things and turns them into focal points of her big day. While her dress is simple and strapless, the beaded belt and elegant crystal embellishments on her veil add defining touches to her look. 19
