Combining the rustic appeal of vineyards, barns and farmhouses, the Rustic boho style is all about free-spirited bride meets vintage wedding details. Horns and antlers, decorated glass houses and nude cakes are front and centre when it comes to the rustic boho wedding theme.

For your rustic boho bridal look, opt for dresses that are simpler, light-weight and with minimal lace details.
