Catholic weddings are all about one tradition or another and feature a complex rite of steps leading up to the ceremony. Anything religion-based can be complicated to someone who isn’t familiar with that particular religion. However, to a practicing Catholic, what may seem complex to some is a rite of passage to them, and the perfect way to begin their lives as a married couple.

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

When you are raised, or even become a Catholic later on in life, you already know that it is steeped in tradition, complete with rites that help reinforce the believer’s faith. Everything at Mass follows very particular steps, always in a certain order and carried out in a meticulous, memorable way.

Catholic weddings are some of the most beautifully performed ceremonies that you’ll ever find. And if you’re so inclined to hold the ceremony at your favorite church or cathedral, then chances are that the environment will perfectly match the sentiment.

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

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!

Glam

Traditionally, we see a gorgeous garden party wedding with plenty of lace, especially when it comes to the wedding dress, and rustic touches. If you're looking for more of a flashy appeal, consider metallics, sequins and even a New Year's Eve wedding date!

We love the idea of using an old-school car as your reception exit vehicle.

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

Vintage weddings are a romantic and popular style perfect for a couple who loves the glam of the 20s or simple beauty of the Victorian era. The vintage wedding style will fit in perfectly at a garden venue, estate or historic home or inn.

A vintage wedding is perfect for the romantic at heart. You can embrace the glamour of the roaring '20s or the modern retro of the '50s or even the bohemian natural beauty of the '60s. A vintage wedding style is broad and the definition is different for every couple. We recommend venues with a little history and to really embody the era your theme is based on from the attire to the reception exit.
