Christian weddings are more or less traditional, but much depends on the congregation and couple’s wishes. Plus, there are numerous different denominations of Christians, with varying belief systems.

However, what all Christian weddings have in common is including readings from the Bible, though it’s up to you which passages they will be and if they’re sung or recited.

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

Faith is an extremely important thing to many, and when it comes time to begin your life as a married couple, it is only natural that many couples wish to express their love in a way which corresponds with their belief system. 

Christian weddings are often held in the church that the couple attends. Similarly, it’s common for the couple’s pastor to perform the ceremony, with possible involvement and assistance from other church members.

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

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.

Hi! My name's Marina and I am a videographer based in the green heart of Italy: Umbria. I love storytelling: I think every wedding is unique and so my videos will be. I think a wedding video should capture every moment of a couple's big day without artifacts. This is why I chose a natural style for my videos. I want them to bring back you and your partner to that day, and to smile at the beautiful memories you will look at. Just as the photographers I work with, I love capturing every detail of your wedding. I think the details are very important when telling a story, especially when I am telling a wedding story! I work with a second shooter during a wedding because I really don't want to miss anything. But do not worry about us being intrusive: someone describes us as ninja videographers for a reason! My videos will speak for me: enjoy!

We are an "agriturismo", holiday apartments with pools, in restored historical farmhouses in the Italian countryside, in the region of Umbria, bordering Tuscany, about mid-way between Rome and Florence. Our estate produces organic olive oil and it is in the green hills that surround Lake Trasimeno, so it offers very beautiful and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, hills and valleys.We are an excellent location for an intimate, simple, rustic country wedding with a small number of close family and friends, or for a more elegant and high-budget wedding, with a larger number of guests. Up to now we have hosted wedding parties from 8 to 70 people.We have three farmhouses on our estate, and the video that you see here was shot at 2 of these farmhouses: the Farmhouse Fontanelle, where the symbolic ceremony was held, and the Farmhouse Poderaccio, where the dinner and dancing were held.The two farmhouses are a few minutes by car one from the other.We can put you in contact with all suppliers: catering services, florists or flower decorators, musicans, djs, videographers, etc. We have been organizing weddings at I Casali for a few years now, and have gained a good experience. We will help with all aspects of the organization and assist you up to and including the wedding day.In total, our 3 farmhouses can sleep up to 60 guests, but should there be larger numbers, we can help you book more accommodation at other agriturismi and hotels in the area.We can also provide services such as: booking a dinner at a wine estate, nature walks, a welcome pizza night or booking at local restaurants, a bruch for the day after the wedding. And we provide plenty of information for visiting this beautiful and interesting area, where there are many old and characteristic hamlets and mediaeval towns (Città della Pieve, Panicale, Castiglione del lago), museums and archaeological sites (Etruscan museum and tombs of Chiusi, of Perugia, important art museums in Perugia etc.), art cities such as Cortona and Pienza, castles (Mongiovino, Castiglione del Lago), cities of world-wide heritage such as Assisi, and also the Lake Trasimeno, with its beaches, islands and characteristic fishing villages.The rates of our farmhouses and of our organizational/wedding fee are very competitive, but the service provided by our estate and by all of the suppliers we collaborate with is of a high level. Please check our "Weddings in Umbria" page on our website to receive more info on this and to see many photos, and do not hesitate to contact us should you have query, thank you! Sabina
