Secular wedding ceremonies can be deeply meaningful without being religious. We’ve got tons of secular wedding ceremonies, secular wedding readings, secular wedding scripts, and real wedding inspiration from couples who had powerful, emotional non-religious nontraditional weddings.

An elegant gothic Iron Chef wedding

As someone who has never really adhered to the concept of “gender” and felt like I fall somewhere on the scale between tomboy and androgynous, I was surprised to find planning for my wedding made me feel unexpectedly girly. I fought it for a little while, but eventually decided to just go with it. Wearing makeup and doing my hair for one day didn’t make me a new person, it was just the side of me that decided to pop out for the occasion.

Emily & Jordan’s fly-fishing and cookies English teacher wedding

We were entranced by this bride’s cookie bouquet and demanded to see MOAR! Thankfully, she obliged and gave us this amazing mountainside budget wedding with little touches of fly-fishing, homebrew, eco-friendly details, and even a fingerprint fish!

Jessica & Max’s small handmade secular handfasting

This couple was able to pull off some amazing handcrafted decor, a full self-catered buffet, a FABULOUS handmade dress (by the bride!), and even some home-grown entertainment all on a budget and with tons of style. This intimate wedding was also planned from across the country, so we know it took some serious coordination.
