Courthouse weddings are having a major moment! More and more brides are skipping the big wedding and choosing an intimate, stylish ceremony instead. But just because you're saying "I do" at city hall doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. From chic mini dresses to bold tailoring, here are the biggest courthouse bridal fashion trends to know for 2025.
1. Short and Sweet Dresses
Gone are the days when courthouse brides only wore traditional gowns. Modern brides are loving short, flirty dresses that make a statement. Think structured mini dresses, satin slip dresses, and elegant tea-length styles. Bonus: A shorter hemline is perfect for showing off fabulous shoes!
2. Power Suit Perfection
Bridal suits are taking over courthouse weddings, and we’re here for it. Whether it’s a sleek white blazer dress, a tailored pantsuit, or a cropped jacket with wide-leg trousers, a bridal suit is the ultimate blend of confidence and class. Add pearl or crystal details for a touch of romance.
3. Romantic Lace and Minimalist Chic
Lace isn’t just for ballgowns! Courthouse brides are embracing modern lace designs, from delicate high-neck minis to sleek midi dresses with lace overlays. For those who love clean lines, minimalist slip dresses in satin or crepe create a timeless and effortlessly chic bridal look.
4. Outfits with a Pop of Color
Who says a courthouse wedding look has to be all white? Brides are adding pops of color with pastel dresses, bold statement pieces, or vibrant accents like a colorful sash or embroidered details. A splash of color brings personality and flair to a courthouse wedding, making your bridal outfit truly unique.
5. Chic Jumpsuits and Two-Piece Sets
For the fashion-forward bride, jumpsuits and two-piece sets offer a fresh take on courthouse wedding attire. A tailored jumpsuit with a fitted bodice and wide-leg silhouette exudes sophistication, while a crop top and high-waisted skirt combo brings a playful yet polished vibe.
6. Second Look Ready
Since courthouse weddings are often followed by a celebration, many brides are choosing two outfits—one for the ceremony and one for dinner or drinks after. A sleek dress for the vows and a fun, party-ready outfit for later? Yes, please!
Courthouse weddings may be simple, but today’s bridal fashion trends prove they’re anything but boring. Whether you go for a power suit, a mini dress, or a full-on glam moment, your city hall wedding can be just as stylish as any big event.
