Courthouse Couture

If you have decided to have a small civil ceremony, you still want everything to look and feel perfect– even if you’re in the surroundings of a courthouse or other area. In addition to looking beautiful,  you will find that there are other great places to get married at if you aren’t doing “the big wedding thing”.  Once you have your location locked in, think about your outfit. 

You so  don’t want to “T-shirt and jeans” this thing, but you know that showing up in full bridal regalia is out of the question (I have seen it happen, and it is just saaaadddd, luxelings…just sad).  Depending on your style, you have so many options– from stately to flirty to romantic to chic.  The key is finding the happy medium; you don’t want to be mistaken for counsel in a court case, but you also don’t want to look like you’re going to the prom either. 

It is completely up to you if you want to wear white or some shade of it; however finding a colored dress will increase the chances of you actually wearing it again.  If you are looking to hold some sentimental nostalgia when you look at your dress, and don’t plan on doing a larger wedding later, then opt for white or ivory.

  • Ditto! Please don’t do the “T-shirt and jeans”. This is still your wedding day. So, I agree you should look fabulous and that goes for both you AND the groom. Great post and I loving these dresses, especially the emerald green!

  • I adore the idea of wearing something fabulous! It is still your wedding day! Any of these dresses would be great. The silhouette of each is spectacular and the colors are beautiful. It’s hard to pick a favorite!

  • I think my sister may be having a courthouse wedding. She is so not for the whole wedding thing. But I will make sure to tell her no T-Shirt and jeans. I’m pretty sure she would do that.
