A lesbian wedding is a wedding between two females and we love that this style can really be about choosing to make your own traditions. We love when lesbian couples make the ceremony entrance their own—walk in together or have a circular setup and each walk in from different sides.

Consider readings that are personal to you or ones important to your relationship like Justice Anthony Kennedy’s majority opinion in Hodges v. Obergefell.

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

Lesbian weddings are all about making your wedding speak to your special and unique relationship. If you’re a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, wedding planning may seem even more strenuous because your celebration may not follow the template of a “traditional” wedding, but this is where you should feel free to play around.

We love that lesbian weddings can turn traditions on their head. For instance, have fun with what you call your wedding party, like I Do Crew, Friends of Honor, Adventure Party, Bridesminions. We've also found that the majority of same-sex couples choose to write their own wedding vows. And consider encouraging your speakers to acknowledge that this is a different and special relationship, and toannounce it to the world during their toasts.

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