A courthouse wedding commitment
These days, a courthouse wedding is the perfect option for couples who aren’t into the idea of a big wedding. With the age of Instagram and perfectly curated weddings, it can be easy to feel pressured into hosting a larger shindig. However, if the thought of a big ceremony overwhelms you, then a courthouse wedding is a great route. An intimate and less stressful option, a ceremony at city hall doesn’t mean you have to forgo a great dress. If you’re looking for a lovely plus size wedding dress to wear to your intimate ceremony, Kiyonna is your go-to destination!
A timeless style that’s as sweet as you
Figuring out what to wear to a courthouse wedding can be somewhat challenging. After all, you’re still a bride and you still want to make an entrance on one of the most important days of your life. Our Aurora Lace Wedding Dress continues to be a favorite among our brides looking for short plus size dress options. For one, it’s made with a delicate lace that’s just so pretty to look at. Secondly, it’s designed with a ruched waist and an A-line skirt that is flattering on everyone. A nude mesh lining hides your bra straps so you can wear an undergarment you’re truly comfortable in all day long. If you prefer a longer version of this dress, you’ll love our Lace Illusion Wedding Gown. No matter which of the two you choose, you’ll look amazing on your special day!

Fall in love with dainty dots
We know not every bride wants an all-lace wedding dress, which is why our Stars A-Line Wedding Dress was designed. Made with a soft and dainty dotted mesh, this lovely short wedding dress offers a retro feel. Kimono sleeves, a crossover detail at the waist, and a full A-line skirt flatter your curves. A scoop neckline is modest and also allows you to wear a regular bra of your choice. For a truly vintage look, consider pairing this plus size wedding dress with a vintage fascinator or a simple birdcage veil. Once your courthouse wedding is over, take this dress for another spin in the spring and summer. A great style you can wear to Sunday brunch with a denim jacket, this dress certainly doesn’t need to sit in your closet unworn.

You’ll be the belle of the courthouse
Another favorite among Kiyonna brides, our Wedding Belle Dress (now the Bella Lace Dress) never disappoints when it comes to courthouse wedding styles. This plus size wedding dress features stunning floral lace that is eye-catching and classic. With a scalloped V-neck, ¾ length lace sleeves, an empire waist, and an A-line skirt, this is another flattering option. A timeless design that will never go out of style, it’s no wonder it continues to be one of our most popular short bridal dresses. Brides formerly unfamiliar with Kiyonna Clothing can now shop some of our bridal collection at David’s Bridal. Read their wonderful blog post featuring our special occasion and wedding dresses.

Sexy and the city hall
If you’re a bride who isn’t shy about showing off your curves and you want a style that’s a little sexier, then our Paloma Ruched Dress is perfect for you. This ruched bodycon dress hugs your curves beautifully with a soft jersey fabric that stretches comfortably. And, the Paloma’s surplice neckline is flattering and just the right amount of sexy. Flutter sleeves are perfect for courthouse weddings in the spring or summer. If this dress is a little too sexy for your nuptials, you can always wear it to your bachelorette party or honeymoon. No matter where you wear this plus size wedding dress, you’ll be sure to turn heads.

Say I do in gold
One of the best things about getting married at city hall is that so many rules can be tossed out when it comes to your dress. If you’re not the kind of bride who sees themselves in a short dress but still wants a style that isn’t traditional, then you’ll love our Gilded by Moonlight Wedding Gown. A glamorous plus size wedding dress treated with gold glitter, you’ll love all the details in this style. First off, it’s sleeveless which is great for brides who want that option. And, a gathering at the waist cascades beautifully down the skirt, which elongates your silhouette. The glitter-treated fabric adds that wow factor as you walk into city hall. A gown that makes you look radiant, it’s easy to put this gown on the list of what to wear to a courthouse wedding.

Saying yes to the dress
While finding the perfect plus size wedding dress to say yes to can present some challenges, feeling beautiful should be your number one priority. From lace styles to bodycon silhouettes, you’ll find some great options with Kiyonna. Whether it’s your first time exchanging vows or your second chance at love, your courthouse wedding will be absolutely lovely.
