A civil wedding, as most think of it, often takes place at a courthouse, but it can be held anywhere, as long as it's not a house of worship. If you and your partner would like a creative or non-traditional ceremony, a civil ceremony is the perfect style of wedding for you.

A civil wedding allows you complete freedom to write your own vows or include your own traditions without any restrictions.

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

A civil wedding is very straight-forward. While many people may think this style of wedding is limited to a courthouse ceremony, in fact, it's simply any nonreligious legal ceremony with a legal official acting as officiant, as opposed to a religious one.

Civil weddings have no religious affiliation and a government or civil official must preside over their ceremony, as opposed to a religious figure. This style of wedding is not only for those who aren't religious but could be perfect for couples who come from two very different faiths or for those who do not want to be bound by any religious restrictions. In the case of the latter, couples can then have a more traditional ceremony later. 

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

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.

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.

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