A wedding invitation is one of the few occasions where most women genuinely think about what they're wearing and why.
For the woman with a bohemian soul, a wedding — especially a garden, outdoor, or boho-themed wedding — is an invitation to dress with full intention. Not just to look appropriate. To look magnificent, in a way that's completely and unmistakably yourself.
Here's how to be the most beautifully dressed guest at every wedding on your calendar.
The Boho Wedding Guest: What Works and What Doesn't
Do wear floor-length or midi-length flowing dresses or boho separates. Length equals elegance at weddings, and boho maxi dresses handle occasions beautifully.
Do choose rich, considered colors — dusty rose, deep emerald, midnight plum, warm terracotta, soft gold, cobalt blue.
Do wear crystal jewelry intentionally chosen for love and celebration — rose quartz, moonstone, emerald, and pearl are the quintessential wedding guest crystals.
Do bring a beautiful layer — a sheer kimono, a lace duster, a lightweight wrap.
Don't wear white, cream, or ivory — these are reserved for the bride.
Don't over-accessorize to the point where your jewelry competes with the ceremony.
