The Bride’s Guide to Boho Lace Wedding Dresses
There’s a reason so many women come to Dreamers & Lovers saying, “I’m not really a boho bride, but I fell in love with your dresses.” Because here, boho doesn’t mean fringe and flower crowns. It doesn’t mean you have to fit into someone else’s Pinterest board. Boho means you get to define what your wedding day looks and feels like.
It means comfort over constraint. Individuality over imitation. And lace that feels like it was made for your soul, not just your silhouette.Whether you’re eloping in the desert or hosting a garden celebration, the right boho wedding dress should feel like a reflection of your story, not a costume.
Explore our boho wedding dress collection and step into something that reflects who you truly are.
Sierra: For the Bride Who’s Moved by Nature
When brides slip into Sierra, something shifts. It’s as if their entire body exhales. Like they’re finally stepping into the version of themselves they were always meant to be.
The lace is unlike anything you’ll find in traditional shops. Some brides say it reminds them of the trees and trails in Yosemite. Others see coral reefs and memories of Hawaii. One bride told us it looked like the campfire nights she shared with her partner in Lake Tahoe. That’s the magic of Sierra’s lace. It meets you where your story lives.
With puffed balloon sleeves, a full-circle skirt, and hidden pockets, Sierra is for the bride who wants something unforgettable. A non-ballgown that still makes a powerful entrance.
“I didn’t just feel like a bride in this dress. I felt like myself. A more luminous, more grounded version of myself.”
Phoebe: For the Bride Who Wants to Shape, Not Squeeze
Phoebe is the dress brides discover when they’re searching for something fitted but still free. It flatters the body without holding it captive — shaped by a graceful trumpet silhouette that allows for movement, dancing, and deep breaths.
The off the shoulder wedding dress bodice is lightly boned to support and shape without constriction. It’s designed for comfort and structure — especially appreciated by brides with fuller busts. Our in-house team can add additional support as needed, making each version of Phoebe truly personal.
The lace is where Phoebe truly becomes art. A one-of-a-kind cotton lace made of scallops, abstract shapes, and floral motifs, placed with intention across every panel. Each angle tells a story. Many brides call it architectural. We call it unforgettable.
“When I walked into the room, my mom gasped. She said, ‘That’s it. That’s the dress. That’s you.’”
Hayley: For the Romantic Who Loves Balance
Hayley is one of our most beloved styles for a reason. It blends softness with structure and boho ease with timeless elegance. The A-line silhouette flatters every figure, giving room to breathe while still creating beautiful shape.
The fluttering cape sleeves are made from soft crepe, floating with every step. The combination of lace and crepe creates a perfectly balanced dress that works whether you're getting married in a forest, chapel, or backyard garden.
Hayley also allows for personalization. Swap the liner for nude and she leans bohemian. Keep her off-white and she shifts more classic. Brides love her because she’s flexible — and beautiful in every version of herself.
“This was the first dress that made me feel both romantic and completely at ease. Like I didn’t have to perform — I could just be present.”
Violetta: For the Bride Who Wants Drama Without the Fuss
A longtime bestseller, Violetta is the kind of gown that makes a powerful impression — but never tries too hard. Brides are drawn to the open keyhole back and the way it reveals just enough while still feeling grounded and graceful.
The angled cotton trims are placed intentionally to shape the waist and bum. The long sheer sleeves add softness, and the bold lace brings just the right amount of edge. This is the dress for brides getting married under redwoods, or standing barefoot in the sand. It has been worn everywhere from Joshua Tree to Yosemite.
For brides who want a bit more coverage, our in-house team can customize the back to make it less open. With cotton lace and a stretch liner, Violetta remains one of our most comfortable fitted dresses — a rare combination of body-conscious and effortless.
“I never thought I’d feel sexy in a wedding dress without feeling exposed. Violetta changed everything.”
Josephine: For the Bride Who Wants Structure with Soul
Josephine is a gown that honors architecture and emotion equally. The cotton lace, the same as Phoebe. It features art deco-inspired motifs, delicate geometric detail, and a softness that surprises everyone who touches it.
The silhouette hugs the figure with a graceful trumpet shape, fitted through the bum and thighs, with freedom to move and dance. The long sleeves are sheer and breathable, and the built-in boning and cups provide discreet support and shape. It's ideal for a bride who wants to feel held but never restricted.
Brides love Josephine for its timelessness. It’s soft and bold, fitted but not rigid. Whether you’re walking through a wildflower meadow or down the center aisle of an old stone church, Josephine belongs.
“It felt like I’d stepped into something sacred. And yet, I could still laugh, dance, and twirl without worrying about a thing.”
Lily: For the Bride Who Sees the World in Color
Lily is the first of her kind. Our first foray into color, and without question, one of the most whimsical dresses we’ve ever created. The soft pastel lace, floral embroidery, and flowing silhouette are for the bride who’s never followed the crowd — not even once.
The bodice is structured with boning, shaping the body without ever feeling restrictive. The skirt is a modified A-line — flowing, but not overwhelming, with just enough train to create movement and magic. The cotton lace is breathable and soft, as if nature herself stitched it together.
Lily is for the bride who doesn’t need a white dress to feel like a bride. She simply wants to feel like herself, fully alive, fully expressed, and wrapped in something unforgettable.
“I didn’t want a white dress. I wanted my dress. Lily felt like poetry. Like wearing a story only I could tell.”
Understanding Our Lace
Not all lace is created equal. At Dreamers & Lovers, we use soft, breathable cotton lace. They're never stiff or synthetic. Our laces are chosen not only for how they look, but for how they feel on the skin and move with the body.
Some designs echo nature with vine-like embroidery or coral-inspired patterns. Others reflect timeless architecture with intricate geometric detail. Each lace we use carries a subtle energy; something felt, not just seen.
We believe your wedding dress should feel like an heirloom, chosen with intention and made to last ; because lace shouldn’t just be beautiful. It should feel like home.
