Calling all boho soon-to-be weds! One of the best bits of wedding planning is looking for inspiration and finding the looks that speak to your aesthetic. When it comes to your hair, there are countless options, especially for a boho cutie, like you. 

The bohemian vibe is free-spirited, rustic, and perfectly retro, and because of that, this vintage look is always on trend. But how, exactly, can you achieve this look, especially when there are so many beautiful styles to consider? Read on for five of our top tips.

1. Incorporate Plaits and Twists

Nothing says boho quite like the plait. Add twists and loose plaits to an elegant bun, or try a loose fishtail or French plait. (We love this one by Hair By Raina!) Pro tip: Gently pull your plait apart section by section for a more full, slightly undone look.

2. Try Loose, Textured Upstyles

The boho vibe is relaxed and effortlessly chic. With a perfectly imperfect upstyle, your wedding look will be brimming with bohemian charm.

3. Embrace Your Natural Curls and Waves

The boho aesthetic is in tune with nature, so it’s only fitting to let your natural texture shine. For straight hair, add a twist to your tresses for a laid-back beachy look.

4. Accessorise Your 'Do

Showcase your unique style by adding some accessories to your hair. We love a structured hat, but you can also aim for a range of other statement pieces, from headbands to hair clips, pins, combs, and more. Feathers, crystals, celestial motifs, nature-themed pieces, or anything vintage offer an especially boho feel!

5. Let Love Bloom with Flowers in Your Hair

Take a page out of the counter-culture movement; the flower child of the 1960s wore flowers in their hair as a symbol of peace and love, and you can too! Ask your florist to leave a few loose blooms that can be pinned through your hair, or try a flower crown made from fresh, dried, or synthetic florals.
