\"Boho<\/p>\n

Just what is a \u2018rustic folk bridal look\u2019? That\u2019s precisely what we\u2019re hoping to present here for all you brides wanting that carefree, relaxed, outdoorsy style for your wedding. It could easily be confused with similar looks like bohemian, country, Western, or even hippie. But there are certain elements to a folk bridal look that make it distinct. Here we share a few tips on how to simulate that style without necessarily going all-out \u2018authentic.\u2019<\/p>\n

Folk Bridal Styling You Can Recreate<\/h2>\n

Unlike the more familiar boho bridal look, the true \u2018folk\u2019 bridal style is inspired by the traditional wedding attire of brides from specific ethnic groups around the world.<\/p>\n

Striking as these bridal ensembles certainly are, though, authentic ones are extremely rare today (except as family heirlooms) and can be very costly. So what we propose is capturing the look and feel of the folk bride with just the most essential elements: the wedding dress<\/strong>, the hair styling<\/strong>, and the accessories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

The folk-inspired wedding dress<\/strong> is typically loose and flowing, featuring lace or a light natural fabric like cotton or cheese cloth. Colorful accents are also common, made with embroidery, crochet, appliques, sometimes with beadwork and metallic threads. Dresses like these can be bought from etsy shops or vintage clothing stores, or you can have one custom-sewn for you.<\/p>\n

\"Folk<\/p>\n

The hairstyle<\/strong> for a folk bride is usually just left down and natural, with a simple floral crown as adornment or a bunch of fresh blooms tucked behind one ear. Some, though, may opt for a modified headpiece, cap, or veil based on the folk inspiration they\u2019ve chosen. Or they might go for the braid wrapped around the head that is typical for German or Austrian brides.<\/p>\n

\"Folk<\/p>\n

Finally, for the folk accessories, ornate necklaces of colored stones would make quite a statement. As well as multiple bangles of different metals with beaten designs or inset gemstones, plus bracelets of colored beads. And of course, there\u2019s the bridal bouquet that you can have made as natural and colorful as the rest of the ensemble.<\/p>\n

Other \u2018folksy\u2019 elements you can incorporate:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a shawl or wrap, preferably crocheted or embroidered<\/li>\n
  2. a bridal vest or bolero inspired by the traditional ensemble you\u2019ve selected<\/li>\n
  3. a bridal pouch, again featuring crochet or embroidery work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What we love about this style is how personal it can be\u2014particularly if you have ties to any of these fascinating folk traditions. Plus how striking and distinct it will make you look from ceremony to reception!<\/p>\n

    Did you know?<\/h2>\n

    The most popular \u2018folk\u2019 bridal styles are those from Northern Europe or Scandinavia; Germany and France; Eastern European countries such as Russia, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Ukraine; Mexico and Hispanic countries; and native American tribes.<\/p>\n
