Making black bridesmaids dresses rustic/bohemian

Hello,

I've chosen black bridesmaids dresses for my girls (they are choosing their own), and burgundy wedges (all the same). I'd like to add another pop of color- perhaps cream or a fall color (fall wedding). I'm trying to figure out how to make the girls more bohemian/rustic looking in black though...especially since black isn't usually associated with that. 

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Shawls or wraps?

    Or you could just bring it in with the flowers.

    I'd play with flowers that pop against black. I've seen a few weddings with black BM dresses and the flowers stand out quite a bit.

    I like the ideas suggested. Doing casual wraps will help make the dresses so formal and you can do those in a color and have the flowers can bring in the color of the shoes & wrap all together.

    Do wildflowers for their bouquets and use twine to wrap the stems, buy some jewelry for them, buy them scarves/wraps, offer to provide flowers they can wear in their hair if they want to.

    Loose curled hair styles, knit shawl/wrap, flowers in their hair (perhaps a flower headband), bohemian looking bouquet, and/or natural looking makeup that accents the eyes.

    This. And jewelry and accessories like sashses are a great way to emphasize this look.

    Even though, PLEASE don't dictate their hair and makeup so they look like they fit your theme. They aren't props.

    Thanks, thanks, thanks! Yeah, I was going to let them do their hair and makeup to whatever suits them. BUT I love the idea of some jewelry or wraps. Also, yes I plan to do something fun with flowers. Now I just have to find the perfect jewelry! Thank you!
