Romantic

Rustic

Casual weddings are most often a style used in backyard weddings, but we also see it at beach or tented weddings. For the attire, brides may want to wear a tea-length dress or jumpsuit. Grooms should stick to lighter shades, like tan, and toss the jacket.

Consider serving drinks prior to the ceremony to get your guests in a party mood!

Need vendors for your casual wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A casual wedding is playful, fun and great for weddings with a smaller guest list. The ceremony is often outdoors or hosted in a backyard and we love the thought of using benches for the seating to really keeps the formality to a minimum. String lights are a must!

With a more informal celebration, you can really get creative with the menu and play with your décor. There's no need for china or chargers at a casual reception so have fun with the place settings, like a patterned or textured placemat. As for food, comfort food is a no-brainer. Try an elevated version like mini chicken and waffles or shooters of tomato soup with tiny grilled cheese bites on the side. We encourage you to consider family-style dining as opposed to a formal plated dinner.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your casual wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

Casual

A simple wedding can be held anywhere but we suggest using the same venue for both ceremony and reception. You can also look into all-inclusive venues that will take care of food, décor, photographer, alcohol, staff, guest accommodations and more. What could be simpler?

Consider mismatched wedding party dresses, and brides may want a gown with clean lines or even a tea-length dress.

Need vendors for your simple wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A simple wedding sticks to the basics, doesn't go crazy on décor and keeps the guest list minimal. The venue should be somewhere that will look beautiful as is or with only a few extra touches or will require only a little DIY effort.

At a simple wedding, be very particular with your guest list. You really only need to invite your "A-list," aka your immediate families and closest friends. It will help your budget and less guests means more face time with each person. Consider a shorter timeline—this will help your budget and keep the celebration from feeling too formal. And only focus on the most important details, there's no need to calligraphed signage at a simple wedding!

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your simple wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

We’re Alex and Jim. We met working together as visual journalists one hot summer in Phoenix, Arizona.

To put it simply, we love what we do and we love doing it together.

Step 1: Conceptualize the most quintessentially Austin theme a wedding could have. Step 2: Gather the most incredible vendors local to the area to bring the theme to life. Step 3: Find an adorable couple to renew their vows in front of a bunch of strangers. We had so much fun at The Big Fake Wedding Austin!

Two brides find their 'happily ever after' in this twisted fairy tale wedding. The vision for this inspiration shoot was anything but traditional – modern touches in a rustic, woodland space turn the classic fairy tale on its head. Tons of candles, moss and twinkly lights bring magic to a gorgeous ceremony site, while a dark jewel tone color palette with gold flatware makes for an elegant and unique tablescape. Our brides share a dance in a romantic courtyard for a dreamy end to a beautiful night.

Twisted Fairy Tale at Rambling Rose Ranch

This styled shoot was SO. MUCH. FUN. When there's citrus and bright colors, vintage cars and photo booths, a happy real couple and outstanding venue... how could you not have a blast?

Bright and Fun Wedding Inspiration at The Preserve

If there were ever any doubts that Lone Star Oaks could be anything but rustic, those are gone. This romantic styled shoot was boho modern at its finest. We could not get enough of the florals, head table or these amazing models!

Boho Modern Dream at Lone Star Oaks

This styled shoot was nothing short of a blast! If you love pink like we do, you'll want to watch over and over to see how all these amazing vendors truly achieved 50 shades at the glorious Woodbine Mansion in Round Rock!

This styled shoot had a modern boho feel with a beautifully subtle color palette at the stunning Villa Antonia just outside Austin, Texas.
