When Mike proposed to Jenn he asked, "Will you marry me in Tofino?" She said yes, and after a wonderfully backwards sequence of wedding events did just that. First, they bought a house. The next Spring they honeymooned in SE Asia. In the fall they had a wedding send off party in Calgary with all of their friends complete with pizza, beer and their favourite country band. Finally, they ventured to Vancouver Island the following week where they officially got married on a beach in Tofino surrounded by just a handful of family.

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!

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