courthouse and wedding dress

jillian, on September 6, 2011 at 10:42 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7

I had to change my last minute vegas ceremony to a courthouse wedding (which i wanted originally) but i bought my dress on saturday thinking i would have an outside ceremony. my question is do you think it will look tacky/ silly wearing a full on wedding dress in a courtroom?

    A good friend of mine from high school had to rearrange her wedding plans with a baby on the way. Her and her now husband were married in a court house and she wore her wedding dress. She figured she bought and was dang well going to wear it at least once.

    I say wear it proudly.. You still need to feel special and you paid for the dress so ENJOY the day!

    YES! I mean, NO! Do it! Get a photographer too. And perhaps have a reception or just go out afterwards. And flowers if you want them.

    I saw pictures from a courthouse wedding on ruffled(I think?) and fell in love. I couldn't believe it was a courthouse wedding, it was SO beautiful!

    Good question because FH and I may have to change our plans as well and do a courthouse wedding but I wasnt sure about the full wedding dress in the courthouse. Well...my dress is fitted so it doesnt take up much room...

    I can’t see any reason why you cant wear full wedding dress for a courthouse wedding.....as you said you wanted a courthouse wedding originally then feel happy about it that you are having what you wanted and wear your wedding dress with confidence......

    And as Jamie.T said....have a reception outside or go out after wedding......
