Whether it’s true to your everyday style or not, bohemian dresses are a classic option for your big day.
Flattering, romantic and timeless, there’s little that can go wrong with these styles. Not to mention they’re generally quite relaxed in shape, allowing ample room to move or get your boogie on in (it is supposed to be an enjoyable day, after all).
With styles ranging from effortless silky slips to voluminous gowns with intricate beading and more tiers than the cake, there’s a bohemian dress style for every type of bride.
And luckily for us, Australia is bursting at the seams with chic designers and boutiques that will be sure to fit the bill.
Here are our first choices for where to shop for a dreamy bohemian bridal gown.
Grace Loves Lace
The brand surely needs no introduction if you’re a fan of stalking bridal gowns (aren’t we all?). Perfect for those bohemian brides who still like a little structure and clean silhouettes. They’re especially known for their, you guessed it, lace.
Bo and Luca
Bohemian dresses are usually characterised by billowy shapes, embroidery and fine beading, all of which you’ll find in spades at Bo and Luca.
Their intricate designs are produced in India, with each bead carefully hand-sewn onto fine silk.
Zimmerman
While they’re not technically bridal, we’d happily wear most (read: any) of their dresses to our weddings.
Perfectly embodying the care-free (but still put-together) bridal vibe, Zimmerman is a staple in the industry.
Spell
The iconic Byron Bay brand made us very happy when they expanded into bridalwear. With their boho goddess aesthetic, they make the perfect beach wedding dresses.
One Day Bridal
Established in 2011, One Day Bridal is one of the leading dress designers in Australia.
Known for their chic and effortless silhouettes, they’re a hit with the daring brides that are looking to reflect their own personal style on their big day. Plus, with so many options they’re bound to have something that meets the standard for every kind of bride.

If intricate beading in timeless silhouettes or floaty frocks in sheer fabrics are what you’re after, then look no further than Anna Campbell.
With worldwide stockists, these gowns are in high demand, so get in quick if you’re keen.
Karen Willis Holmes Bridal
Karen Willis Holmes has been a front-runner in the bridal gown category for over twenty years now. With everything from silk slips to pant suits, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
