While this wedding was full of fun moments like everyone jumping into the pool at the end of the night, there were also sentimental moments that tug at your heart. 
 
Sarah's parents unfortunately passed away before the wedding, but her family and friends were there for her in the most beautiful ways, from her sister helping put on on Sarah's wedding dress to an uncle walking her down the aisle.  

"May 29th 2015, 2:30 p.m. To my future wife, I write this to you years before we meet to help me prepare to be the best husband I can be for you." Ben wrote a letter in college to who he imagined would be his wife; five years, Ben gave this letter he wrote to Sarah on their wedding day.

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.

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