BRING ON THE BOHO

Rebecca Schoneveld Cheek

Want to be earthy and ethereal all at once?  Like a mix of earth angel and wood nymph? Then bring on some Boho, a look borrowing from fairy tales, early bohemian and hippe/flower-child looks of the 1960s.  Typically gowns gone Boho sport flowing and transparent fabrics topped off with floral head wreaths.  These looks I lifted off of Etsy Weddings from yesterday's weekly picks called--Boho Paradise

TERRY FOX

 One of those designers I have on the top of my list is Terry Fox of the UK who has been designing vintage/storybook looks for as long as I can remember.  Her peice de resistance is the corset paired up with big skirts in either tulle and lace or taffeta and satin.  Add a certain shabby chic vintage influence seen here and you get a very original Boho look she's always made her own .  Terry isn't limited though.  She has four other collections on her website worth checking out especially if you love a kind of waif/fairytale look.  For the more contemporary bride check out her Classic with a Twist Collection.  Stunning . . .

THE SPRING WREATH

Q: What's one of the best definitions of Forever?  Well, if spring is the season of rebirth then let's say a wreath circling the head is a sign of eternal renewal.  Spring brides choosing to go unveiled can opt to go all out romantic by topping off with a band interwoven with fresh flowers, foliage and in some cases ribbons.  Florists can put these together either with fresh, artificial, or dried flowers.  Some variations are made exclusively of English Ivy or dried roses and Baby's Breath.  Where to find?  Here are a few plugged in and incredibly talented designers on Etsy worth checking out: Which Goose, Gardens of Whimsy and Andie
