While courthouse weddings have always been a pragmatic choice, the pandemic has made them even more popular for couples who needed to re-think and reschedule their plans. But practicality aside, they are a wonderful way to start your new life together—surrounded by friends and other couples about to embark on the same journey! When it comes to dressing for the big day, T&C editors have channeled some of our favorite courthouse looks, from Bianca Jagger and Marilyn Monroe, to Yoko Ono. So whether you want to wear white, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (or none of those at all!), we’ve picked out six courthouse wedding outfits for brides.
For the bride whose wedding dreams are rooted in tradition, check off the boxes with something old, vintage gloves from Thrilling Vintage, and something new, an Assael diamond and pearl lariat. We will leave the something borrowed and something blue up to you.
Dresses not for you? This suit from Christopher Kane with crystal-embellished fringe details makes an equally fabulous statement. A matching chain hair comb that can be worn loose or tucked into braids and a custom clutch commemorating the day complete the look to perfection!
