Bohemian Dutch Braid Crown Bun
For outdoor, rustic, or festival-inspired weddings, the Bohemian Dutch braid crown bun delivers an effortlessly chic vibe while securely housing long, thick locks. Unlike a traditional French braid where strands cross over, a Dutch braid weaves strands underneath, creating a striking 3D effect that sits proudly atop the head. This elevated texture acts as a built-in accessory, giving the illusion of a halo that wraps around the head before sweeping gracefully into a voluminous, textured bun at the back.
Creating this style with long hair allows the braider to pull sections apart slightly—a technique known as “pancaking”—to create maximum width and softness. The extra length provides ample material to build a rich, multi-layered bun that doesn’t feel thin or flat. To complete the bohemian charm, small sprigs of baby’s breath, delicate greenery, or tiny pearl pins can be woven directly into the ridges of the braid, adding a touch of whimsical magic that looks stunning from every angle in photographs.
