Catie and Constantine, changed their wedding plans a few times. Covid kept reducing their original celebration plans and as they are both surgeons and eventually decided that an adventure elopement with just the two of them was the safest option. They drove 10 hours the day before to catch the sunrise and share their vows with the mountains around them. As the hiked up the sun slowly greeted them with some beautiful colors and warmth. The sound of the crickets, was slowly taken over by the sound of the birds. It was true beauty,  with the first look they shared. Enjoying the view, sharing some laughs and just breathing in the moment was pure magic and out of a novel. As a witness, I was in awe of a such a moment. I was in awe of the love they have for each other. I felt blessed to be there to witness something so big that many spend years to find.  The simplicity and the romance of the day was shared with delicious pastries, coffee and lots of lots of berries. Catie and Constantine enjoyed their breakfast with a view. While everyone was barely waking up, these two were up an a mountain ready for their next adventure. We continued to another hike to find one of the most beautiful and fun waterfalls.

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 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!
