 We are so excited to share Garrison and Kensi’s wedding film! Garrison and Kensi have been best friends since junior high but it wasn’t until their senior year of high school that they started dating and this summer they celebrated their new journey together as husband and wife! We are so excited that we got to be a part of the party at City of Refuge to celebrate and capture their wedding this past May. Thank you so much, Garrison and Kensi, for including us and we wish a life full of adventure and joy together!

Christian weddings are more or less traditional, but much depends on the congregation and couple’s wishes. Plus, there are numerous different denominations of Christians, with varying belief systems.

However, what all Christian weddings have in common is including readings from the Bible, though it’s up to you which passages they will be and if they’re sung or recited.

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

Faith is an extremely important thing to many, and when it comes time to begin your life as a married couple, it is only natural that many couples wish to express their love in a way which corresponds with their belief system. 

Christian weddings are often held in the church that the couple attends. Similarly, it’s common for the couple’s pastor to perform the ceremony, with possible involvement and assistance from other church members.

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

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.

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.

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!
