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.

A summer wedding typically has at least one element of the day that's outside. Make sure you have shaded options that allow guests to avoid the sun. We love the idea of handing out parasols, fans or sunglasses as wedding favors so guests can use them during the day.

Think fresh, light and airy when it comes to food and drinks and even colors.

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

Summer weddings are those held in the months of June, July and August. This is considered "wedding season" and is one of the most popular times to get married. Some wedding styles we often see in summer include boho, rustic, casual, nautical and tropical weddings.

Because summer is widely considered "wedding season," you'll see higher prices on venues and vendors between Memorial Day and Labor Day so keep that in mind when figuring out your budget. There's good reason so many couples choose to get married in the summer. Inclement weather is not nearly as much of a concern, outdoor ceremonies are much easier to plan and, of course, there's an endless variety of bright blooms to include in your day!

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