Shayn + Walton decided to forego their big wedding planning to elope instead, realizing the big traditional event wasn't for them. Their anniversary date was on a Monday, and now, after choosing to elope, they were able to hold on to that memory. Little did they know it would snow that morning, the last snow of the season, making their winter wonderland wedding dreams come true. My favorite memory: Hearing Walton say "I fucking love you" over and over again throughout the morning.

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 winter wedding is simply a wedding held in the winter that truly embraces the nature of the season. Whether you keep to an icy palette of white, silver and light blues or lean more toward the colors of the holidays, your day will evoke the beauty of winter.

We love when brides incorporate a wintery accessory like a faux fur shrug or gorgeous white jacket.

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

Winter weddings are a popular style because the beauty of the natural outdoor setting will make any wedding memorable! Popular winter wedding venues include ski lodges, open barns and even forests. All venues that allow the natural beauty of winter to shine through.

This wedding style can be formal or semi-formal, often includes an outdoor element to honor the natural beauty and we see lots of long sleeve wedding dresses and more practical footwear. You can play off the season by offering blankets to your guests or having a hot chocolate bar at cocktail hour. The best part of a winter wedding? It's in the offseason so you'll likely get discounted prices from many of your vendors.
