If there's anything the past few years have taught us, it's that there's no one right way to get married—and there's no rule that says you need to wear a long white gown for your big day. The good news is, having a small courthouse wedding ceremony doesn't mean you have to skimp on style. From jumpsuits to mini dresses, simple sheaths to classic lace gowns, you'll be pleased to know that there are so many different city hall wedding dress options to choose from.

Get inspired and shop these courthouse-approved wedding dresses and jumpsuits for your intimate nuptials.
