The bohemian wedding trend isn't going anywhere. Proof: These effortlessly beautiful ideas, which incorporate elements of nature along with a certain romanticism and individuality. In the fashion world, bohemian style, also known as boho-chic and hippie-chic, has come to mean free-spirited and draws influences from hippie culture.
