There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

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

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

If you choose to have a military wedding, your ceremony can take place at a military chapel or the academy from which the military member graduated. When figuring out the seating arrangements, remember that each service brand has different guidelines but, generally, the higher-ranking the officer, the better position at both the ceremony and reception.

Those who choose to wear their military uniform must adhere to the specific grooming rules according to their service brand.

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

Many people know a military wedding simply by the attire—most often we see a groom in his dress blues (or whites in the summer)—but there are numerous traditions that come with the territory of hosting a military wedding. 

One of the most well known military wedding traditions is the Arch of Sabers (or Swords if referring to a Navy or Marine Corps member). If either partner, or both, are commissioned officers, they can have a ceremony exit beneath an archway of sabers held by other military members. Noncommissioned officers and enlisted personnel may instead go with the variation called the Arch of Rifles. Speaking of swords, another popular tradition is to cut the cake with a sword instead of a knife at the reception.

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