Boho is one of those words used so much that it no longer means anything specific. In wedding dresses, though, it has a very practical meaning: a dress that moves with you instead of holding you still.<\/p>\n
And for a summer wedding in Greece, that is not style. It is function.<\/p>\n
It is not the lace and it is not the flowers in your hair. It is three things, and all of them are about how the fabric behaves.<\/p>\n
Weight.<\/strong> A light fabric moves with the breeze. A heavy one stays where you leave it.<\/p>\n Freedom in the line.<\/strong> A dress that does not cinch the waist<\/a> and does not lock the shoulders lets you walk, sit and hug people.<\/p>\n Drape instead of structure.<\/strong> Fabric that falls freely creates lines on its own. It does not need a corset or boning to hold its shape.<\/p>\n Here there is a misconception: many boho wedding dresses are made of synthetic chiffon or tulle, precisely because they are cheap and light. They look flowing, and they are not.<\/p>\n Natural silk has something synthetics do not: it falls heavily but breathes lightly. It has enough weight to form real folds instead of creases, and at the same time lets the skin stay cool. At a July wedding at six in the evening, the difference is physical, not theoretical.<\/p>\n If you are interested in the technical side, we explain it in silk or satin<\/a>.<\/p>\n Three things to consider, and none of them is aesthetic.<\/p>\n The wind.<\/strong> In the Cyclades it is not a possibility, it is a given. A very light fabric will keep lifting. Silk with a little weight moves beautifully without riding up.<\/p>\n The ground.<\/strong> Stone, earth, steps. A very long train in that setting means someone will be holding it all day.<\/p>\n The journey.<\/strong> The dress will travel by boat or plane. Ask how it is packed and what it needs when it arrives.<\/p>\n The most common mistake. A dress that falls freely needs to be cut precisely, otherwise it does not look relaxed, it looks like it does not fit.<\/p>\n Freedom in the line is a design decision, not an absence of fit. A good flowing wedding dress is close exactly where it should be and free everywhere else.<\/p>\n It is the practical advantage that is rarely discussed. A simple silk dress in a natural or ecru shade can be worn again at a christening, a dinner, a summer night out. A princess gown is never worn again.<\/p>\n Look through the wedding dresses<\/a>, the bridal separates<\/a> or book a private appointment<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Boho \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ad\u03c7\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c7\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b7\u03b8\u03b5\u03af \u03c4\u03cc\u03c3\u03bf \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03cd \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1\u03af\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c0\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03af\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c5\u03b3\u03ba\u03b5\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf. \u03a3\u03c4\u03b1 \u03bd\u03c5\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03cc\u03bc\u03c9\u03c2 \u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-journal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":765,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661\/revisions\/765"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lefkon.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Why is silk the right fabric for this?<\/h2>\n
For an island wedding<\/h2>\n
Boho does not mean sloppy<\/h2>\n
