8 Ways To Incorporate Boho Accessories To Your Wedding

A true bohemian look isn’t complete without a floral headband or clip. Complement your casual wedding dress with some eye-catching headwear that incorporates jewels, lace, flowers, or other striking design elements. This is an effortless technique to upgrade your bridal ensemble in a way that still feels grounded.
Even at a rehearsal dinner, head jewelry makes all the difference. Not only does this boho accessory look stunning when it catches the light, but it also brings a playfulness to your outfit that you wouldn’t get with a basic hat or headband. Whether you’re drawn to minimalist neutrals or vibrant colors, a headpiece is a must for any bohemian bride.
Anklets & Toe Rings
It’s likely that your venue is outside, and you’ll want to be able to feel the sand or grass on your feet. Go barefoot and opt for unique and unexpected jewelry, like an anklet or toe ring. Look for hammered metals or homemade pieces that you can casually slip on. Create a down-to-earth vibe that feels creative and subtle. Even with a long dress, a toe ring that makes an appearance with each step down the aisle is the perfect way to make a small statement. It’s stylish, kinda sexy, and gives you more opportunity to layer on the boho accessories. What more could a girl want for her special day?
Cuff Earrings
Choosing a single pair of earrings will simplify your look, but the actual jewelry doesn’t have to be basic. Cuff earrings are the perfect way to maximize your bohemian sense of style. Go for one with elements that dangle, and wear your hair up to show off a gorgeous detail that really adds sparkle to your outfit. Don’t be afraid to experiment with all sorts of warm and cool colors and intricate designs that bring you excitement just by wearing them. Not only does a cuff earring provide a little romantic appeal, but it also has an air of effortless royalty that elevates what is classically seen as boho chic.
Woven Handbag
You can’t have a wedding look without a proper purse. A true bohemian fashion icon like yourself deserves a stylish bag that’s both functional and fabulous. Our recommendation: fibrous bags. Opt for anything that feels homemade and natural, like a woven bag with a clasp. You want to be able to hold onto your wedding-day essentials while maintaining your put-together appearance.
Luckily, woven bags are very trendy these days, so it’s not hard to find the perfect one for your style. Clutches make excellent handheld boho accessories, while larger totes prove to be useful in more than just a wedding setting. Express yourself with fun intricate designs that feel like a breath of fresh air.
Accent Sunglasses
When the sun is out, the shades are on! Bring your bohemian style into every part of your look with accent sunglasses. They’re cute and they block out the sun, which is perfect for your engagement party, bridal shower, and honeymoon! Bold frames and colorful, mirrored lenses are a great way to bring your personal creativity into your look. We recommend round metal sunglasses that are totally retro or thick plastic frames in a cat-eye shape.
Layered Necklaces

A boho look cannot be complete with just one necklace. There needs to be at least three or four of varying lengths and thickness. Explore thrift shops and other local stores for one-of-a-kind necklaces that you throw on the roster of viable options. You never know what you might find; even family heirlooms you may have overlooked in the past may be the perfect wearable treasure to accessorize your boho look. Organic shapes and gold metals are extremely trendy right now, but don’t be afraid to let your own sense of style guide you to the right set of boho accessories.
Stone Rings
Most boho-chic weddings have a very earthy tone, and you’ll want to bring this natural vibe into your bridal ensemble. Find an unforgettable stone ring that you don’t want to be seen without. Just remember to wear it on your right hand so it doesn’t take away from your bridal jewelry.
Choose this boho accessory based on your favorite crystal or gemstone, or go for a zodiac-inspired rock that celebrates your partner’s birthday. This piece should speak to you and your style, so you can wear it long after the honeymoon is over. What’s beautiful about a natural stone ring is that no two are alike. Once you start your collection of boho rings, you won’t want to stop adding more.
Chunky Bracelets

Similar to layered necklaces, chunky bracelets really make a boho-inspired outfit feel complete. The thickness of a chunky bracelet complements your otherwise dainty, flowy dress very well. It offers a splash of color and liveliness to such an earthy look. Don’t be afraid to layer up and mix and match to your heart’s content. Power clashing is extremely trendy, and you should feel comfortable leaning into your wild-child personality as much as you’d like. Each bracelet adds a level of youthfulness that’s perfect for a spring or summer wedding.
Remember that anything boring or basic is not boho. Seek out boho accessories that have personality, frills, or any other extra elements that bring you excitement. Experiment with patterns and natural materials that make you feel one with the earth. You can still feel feminine while following the general rules of bohemian fashion. Just finish your look with these eclectic accessories that bring it all together.
