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.
