December is a season for celebrating. From Hanukkah to Christmas to Kwanza, there is no shortage of reasons to give and share cheer. But long before any of these modern holidays existed, the winter solstice was busy bringing loved ones together.
Though it’s the longest night of the year, each one that precedes the solstice is gradually shorter and shorter. It’s the moment when the light gradually grows, leading the world into warm renewal. And much like the commitment two people make to honor and cherish one another, it’s a true turning point that calls for some serious celebration.
Even if your family is complaining about being busy, regardless of whether they resonate with its significance, the winter solstice is a highly romantic time of year and a symbolic day to start your forever.
So, sisters of the moon, bohemian brides-to-be, here is a curated collection of boho wedding dresses befitting of solstice nuptials.
Meet Marigold. She’s a nature lover who’s heavily influenced by the outdoors. As the Wilderly bridal collection name suggests, she maintains a loving, untamed heart. Her feet are bare and hippie chic is her middle name. Loving the look of this sunny, textured lace bohemian wedding dress? Try it on in person to see how wonderfully whimsy it is.
This slightly more structured Angelina Faccenda lace strapless wedding dress is enchanting in its own right. Light up the night with its sweetheart bust, low back, and A-line skirt. Scattered beading will reflect the moon’s brilliance while the lace long sleeve arm gauntlets add a bit of edge.
Our Plus size wedding dresses are perfect for winter. They’re also brilliant ways to bring out the full confidence of a full-size bohemian bride. Take this alluring and affordable high neck tulle boho wedding dress by Morilee Bridals, for example. Cascades of illusion lace appliques dance across the full A-line skirt with delicate sparkling threads weaved throughout. A concentration of shimmer around the hem of the train highlights your glide down the aisle in style.
This fit and flare, belle sleeve bridal gown of Sottero & Midgley's Fall 2018 bridal collection puts the chic in boho chic. Its sleeves are long, and the vintage lace is storybook beautiful. Ekaterina also adds a smidge of sexy with her plunging neckline and open back. These winter wedding vibes are also great for any garden-inspired affair!
Don’t be surprised when you look down the aisle and see heart eyes staring back at you. Though she may be on the modest side, Cathy Anne from Rebecca Ingram by Maggie Sottero is ideal for any solstice celebration. This beauty begins with a lace embellished bodice, high neckline, and elbow length sleeves. A beaded belt flatters your figure and signifies the beginning of the gown’s impressive tulle skirt.
Modern boho style brides will love the contemporary fringe details of this satin fit-and-flare wedding dress. Fall in love with the illusion capelet overlay. Let your eyes swim in the accented Swarovski crystal beadwork. Underneath, cap-sleeves and an illusion scoop back complete the look with an extra layer of lovely.
This affordable allure sheath wedding dress needs no introduction. It’s infamous for its eyelash lace v-neckline and sexy slit. In fact, the lace details are such a fixture, they even weave their way into the underskirt of this flirty bohemian bridal gown. Â
The soft femininity of this minimalist art deco darling is as ethereal as the cold winter moon and twice as charming. The off-the-shoulder lace boho wedding gown features a distinct geometric pattern framed by an unadorned chiffon skirt. It’s a wispy, wonderful way to be wed.
And with that, we hope you have yourself a very married solstice and a happy new year!
