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.

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.
