According to Wikipedia: Bohemianism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people, with few permanent ties, involving musical, artistic, or literary pursuits. In this context, Bohemians may be wanderers, adventurers, or vagabonds.
This use of the word bohemian first appeared in the English language in the nineteenth century to describe the non-traditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, journalists, musicians, and actors in major European cities.[1] Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which often were expressed through free love, frugality, and—in some cases—voluntary poverty. A more economically privileged, even aristocratic or wealthy, bohemian circle is sometimes referred to as haute bohème[2] ("high bohemians").[3]
The term Bohemianism emerged in France in the early nineteenth century when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class, Romani neighborhoods. Bohémien was a common term for the Romani people of France, who were mistakenly thought to have reached France in the 15th century via Bohemia,[4] at that time the only protestant[citation needed] and therefore heretic country among Western Christians.
According to "Want that wedding" blog - http://www.wantthatwedding.co.uk/2012/09/24/create-style-a-bohemian-wedding-wedding-advice/
"Whether your setting is the beach, a pretty woodland, a festival style field or a cool and quirky venue, they often have one thing in common. Nature and being natural. The boho wedding style can range from casual beach to romantic french countryside and includes quirky carnival, whimsical woodland, and free-spirited festival.
Firstly you need to think of your dress. A boho bride is an unfussy bride! Think long, flowy materials or quirky eclectic pieces."
One of the biggest things for a Bohemian Bride is her hair. it must be free-flowing, effortless and carefree. Think about loose plaits, fishtail braids, braided crowns and mussed up hair. Do that with your hair and mix it with flower crowns, forehead bands, embellished headpieces. Think about the hairpieces of the 60th.
Flower crowns are huge in the wedding industry and definitely bohemian. If you decide to go for a floral crown you can either go for very full over the top flower crown or you can go for something more simple like small dainty flowers. You can even go for a crown made of leaves and twine.
