Channel your inner hippie as a bridesmaid!

We’re all for elegant, demure, and chic lehengas, with Disney princess energy, but sometimes, we find ourselves drooling over the rawness of the boho aesthetic. Vibrant colors, eclectic prints, tassels, fringes, textures, lots of accessorising and the overall laid-back, free-spirited aesthetic is hard not to gravitate towards. The boho-chic aesthetic is now extending itself to wedding fashion, and we are here for it. Earlier this year, we also saw Alia Bhatt embrace this aesthetic as a bridesmaid in a beautiful Arpita Mehta Bandhani lehenga.

Not to forget, it is the perfect aesthetic for a mehendi—fun, playful, vibrant! You can pick a nice colorful boho lehenga for a mehendi as a guest or a bridesmaid, and pair it with fun accessories like statement sunnies, stacked bangles, a fun embroidered bag (keep it hands-free though, the boho aesthetic is all about being free)! Do lots of elements—Ikat, paisley, mirror-work, Bandhani, tassels, animal motifs, aztec print…go all out!
When following this aesthetic, we suggest going all out on the drama with the styling, hair and makeup as well. It’s all about maximalism, after all. Lots of kohl, dramatic updos, shoes with mirror-work, jewellery like bajubandh, nose ring, anklets, don’t hold back!
If you want to channel the boho girl aesthetic (read: if you don’t mind being the centre of attention when you walk into a party), here are our top picks for Bohemian lehengas you can consider!
