What’s the difference between hippie style and boho chic style? Answer: Hippies can’t afford boho. Hippie wedding dresses are more down-to-earth, with simpler styling, or they are 40s-vintage, thrift store finds, with a hit of street style. Bohemian wedding dresses are often eccentric, flashy, and over-the-top designer fashions that are made of expensive fabrics, like painted silk.
There is a lot of overlap between hippie (hippy for those in the UK) and boho, making my casual explanation a bit simplistic. Hippie clothing can be fabulously high-end; boho chic can be cheap. Both styles rock as indie bridal gowns.

What do I know? I’m not a clothing designer. I’m just an average, ex-hippie chick who lived in Haight-Ashbury for a short time, went to hippie rock festivals, and lived through many of the hippie clichés. While I can’t (and won't) tell you what to wear for your own wedding, I can tell you my impressions of various hippie and bohemian designs from an artistic point of view.
