15 Polished Dresses For Your Courthouse Wedding, Including Lace and Satin Styles

Dressing for a courthouse wedding? Both comfort and style need to factor into the final look. Of course, there's no right or wrong choice for the day; you would look just as fabulous showing up in a glam gown or a casual bridal suit. If dressing all the way up speaks to you, there are plenty of options - from bow-embellished satin minis to sheer lace-appliquéd maxis.

On the other hand, if the latter appeals to you, take inspiration from Solange Knowles, who wore an off-white plunging jumpsuit to marry her now ex-husband Alan Ferguson in New Orleans in November 2014. Or look to Emily Ratajkowski, who went the same route when she married Sebastian Bear-McClard (who she is now divorcing) in a practical yet still chic tangerine Zara pantsuit. These stars' ensembles lent themselves well to a day of commuting by car or train to a courthouse for a short wedding ceremony.

Going the nontraditional route for your vows - be it at a courthouse or a chapel in Las Vegas - leaves plenty of room to play with the wedding dress code. Whatever your alternative dress leanings, there's a mini, maxi, or sharp suit to suit your courthouse nuptials, backyard ceremony, and beyond. The key is to reflect your personal tastes in the final decision, and ideally optimize for comfort.

What to Wear to Your Courthouse Wedding

Whether you opt for a polished jacquard suit or a semi-casual puff-sleeve dress, as the bride, you will automatically make a memorable entrance and be the person of the hour. Whatever you choose, just make sure it fits your style and is comfortable to last long enough for the ceremony and photos.

How to Style Your Courthouse Wedding Dress

Make no mistake, the finishing touches are just as important as the main look. From a sophisticated headpiece to a pair of pearl-encrusted earrings, accessories help personalize your bridal outfit. The same goes for footwear, which may range from strappy heels to understated mules. As long as you can walk in them, you should be set. Ready to start shopping? Ahead, we've plucked the best white dresses from the racks - think pretty lace, chic sheaths, along with some nontraditional jumpsuits and skirt suits.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
