Finding the Perfect Courthouse Wedding Dress

Are you planning your ceremony at the courthouse? Find the perfect wedding dress for a courthouse or county office building ceremony.

You might want to select a style that complements the venue’s look for a cohesive feel. Or, if your personality is a bit bolder, you might like something a bit opposite to create contrast and stand out!

Choosing The Right Style

First and foremost, you’ll want to consider if your dress is appropriate for the setting. A courthouse is a business setting, so you’ll want to avoid anything too casual or revealing. That doesn’t mean that you have to go overboard with the formality, though. 

Choosing the Right Formality

Choosing The Right Color

Who says you have to wear white? White wedding dresses became a tradition for brides after Queen Victoria wore a white gown for her wedding ceremony in the 1800s. But if you’re a fan of color, don’t be afraid to go bold with your courthouse wedding look.

The fabric of your dress is also essential to consider. If you’re getting married in the summer, you’ll want to avoid anything too heavy or hot. Even if the courthouse is air-conditioned, a lightweight silk or cotton dress will keep you cool and comfortable.

Choosing the Right Fabric

Choosing an Affordable Courthouse Wedding Dress

Many large bridal retailers have wedding dresses for under $1000, or you can find some great deals online or at consignment stores. (Hint, there are some ultra savvy options on Amazon!) Or, if you’re handy with a sewing machine, you can make your own courthouse wedding dress!
