Civil Wedding

Modern brides are redefining tradition in the sense that long wedding dresses are out and bridal minis are IN! Whether a wrap dress silhouette, a glossy sheath style with an oversized bow that trails to the ground, a chic bridal skirt suit or a romantic high low style, these modern romantic bridal looks are stealing our hearts.

Imaginative, transportive and steeped in editorial beauty, we’re swept up in the inimitable frames of London-based photographer, Benjamin Wheeler.

From minimal midis to sleek blazer dresses, slips, and sets.

Kereen wore a chic, halterneck Galvan London gown for her summer wedding in the city.

Micro weddings are trending right now and Ryann is on board. After a year of wedding planning, this is why she nixed the plans and is opting for city hall.

Blair and Chris both agreed early on that they wanted to be intentional about the traditions they stuck to. "We only wanted to do things that felt meaningful to us. We didn't want to get too caught up in tradition, while not abandoning it either! For the overall feel of the wedding, we were very inspired by 'old Florida' and wanted to give the event a timeless feel."

Mahogany on Instagram: "Making our own wedding traditions>>> We chose to do something intimate but also really wanted our family to enjoy different parts of Miami, so we made a low pressure weekend out of our wedding celebrations. Everything came out better than expected (minus the storms 🙃) • • • Miami wedding, civil ceremony, courthouse wedding, black bride, black couple, wedding weekend"
