The dictionary definition for Bohemian as a noun is “a socially unconventional person, especially one who is involved in the arts” and as an adjective is “socially unconventional in an artistic way.” I wanted to give background to the word that is really trending in weddings and style nowadays. The technical definition is about someone who is artistic and unconventional in their society, a going against the grain type. The reason I believe most bohemian styles tend to portray florals and the hippie style is because of the era of when the term was initially coined. Either way, that is how it is meant when used in the bridal and wedding world. This bohemian bridal fashion shoot was styled by Ariana Anderson, a stylist based in Chicago, IL. The florals in the hair and amazing blunt eyeshadow was created by Michelle of Mink loves Makeup, another Chicago based hair and makeup artist. These hair and makeup designs really feature the bohemian floral style in a minimalist way. And of course, the bohemian feelings couldn’t be portrayed without the deep emotions and beautiful modeling by Chicago based model and artist, Dominique Ashanti.
I’m so grateful to be able to have these days of creativity in between shooting weddings. Being able to come together with like minded friends in the creative field and just have the freedom to create and knowing that whatever comes from it is exactly what is was meant to be, is such a beautiful thing. These portraits were taken in my Chicago home. As I’m transitioning within the next year to living full time in Scotland after I get married, I’m trying to cherish having this beautiful open space to create inspiring editorials. This season of life living in Chicago and traveling back and forth to Edinburgh to see my fiancé has been a beautiful one, and being in one place all of the time will be wonderful, but I will always look fondly on the creativity that this space has given me during this season of life in Wicker Park, an artistic neighborhood in Chicago.
