Courtney & Julie’s wedding will forever hold a very special place in my heart. I film a LOT of weddings, so I can say with complete confidence that to witness the love of two souls so genuine, so perfect for one another, so kind, and so authentically and unapologetically themselves is such a rare, beautiful, powerful, and inspiring thing.

A lesbian wedding is a wedding between two females and we love that this style can really be about choosing to make your own traditions. We love when lesbian couples make the ceremony entrance their own—walk in together or have a circular setup and each walk in from different sides.

Consider readings that are personal to you or ones important to your relationship like Justice Anthony Kennedy’s majority opinion in Hodges v. Obergefell.

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

Lesbian weddings are all about making your wedding speak to your special and unique relationship. If you’re a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, wedding planning may seem even more strenuous because your celebration may not follow the template of a “traditional” wedding, but this is where you should feel free to play around.

We love that lesbian weddings can turn traditions on their head. For instance, have fun with what you call your wedding party, like I Do Crew, Friends of Honor, Adventure Party, Bridesminions. We've also found that the majority of same-sex couples choose to write their own wedding vows. And consider encouraging your speakers to acknowledge that this is a different and special relationship, and toannounce it to the world during their toasts.

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

A gay wedding is the union between two people who identify as gay, who will exchange vows and begin their lives together as a couple. Gay weddings tend to be rather eventful, especially if the couple may be the first in their community to tie the knot. The planning process is usually somewhat different, as certain “traditional” notions may need a makeover.

When planning a gay wedding, get creative and personalize away! After all, your big day happens only once in a lifetime, and you should not be bound by customs.

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

A gay wedding is like any other wedding in the fact that it symbolizes the enduring love of two people. However, in this particular situation, they just both happen to be men. If you haven’t learned already, gay weddings are a wonderful event, representing a way to not only exchange vows and make commitments, but also to share this revelry with loved ones and other members of their LGBTQ+ family.

It’s also a time to see tradition tossed out the window. Guests will typically be seated together, without “sides,” and unity will be the theme of the day.

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.

Whether or not you like fall, most people can agree: the season is so picturesque that it can sometimes be difficult to narrow down your wedding details. From colors to food to attire, a fall wedding is a memorable event with plenty of chances for creativity!

Of course, you should make sure to double-check the weather forecast, especially if you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, but that should go without saying, right?

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

Many couples opt for a fall wedding because it’s their favorite time of year, or perhaps that was when they were engaged or another memorable event occurred. Maybe they like a crisp fall breeze or the colorful leaves that cover the ground.

And when it comes to attendee-participation activities, fall can bring in a myriad of fun options, leaving the couple with plenty of memories.
