The True Crew compiled a list of some of the best courthouse wedding dresses across many price points to help you find your dream dress for your courthouse ceremony. Whether you want a sleek modern dress, a traditional option or something unexpected, we have plenty of designs to choose from at True Society! 

A civil wedding is a wedding ceremony that takes place in a public or government building, such as a courthouse. This non-denominational wedding type usually involves exchanging vows, exchanging rings and signing the marriage license as witnesses observe. 

While European countries have been ahead of the curve on all the wonderful aspects of civil weddings, they have become increasingly popular in North America as more couples are choosing to elope or have a more intimate wedding. With the help of beautiful civil wedding gowns, it’s easy for the bride to look their best while keeping the focus on simplicity on their special day. 

Civil bridal gowns come in a variety of options, and it’s important to find one that flatters your figure while still representing the style and atmosphere you desire. Here are some tips for finding the perfect civil bridal gown: 

• Think classic silhouettes with modern details – cap sleeves, delicate beading or lace appliques can all add an elegant and timeless touch to your look. 
• Opt for lightweight fabrics such as chiffon, tulle or satin to keep you comfortable throughout the ceremony. 
• The length of your wedding dress can be flattering and still make a big impact on the big day — whether it’s short and sweet or a traditional long gown.
