A few weeks ago, we hosted our first ever invitation-only event for alumni vendors, media partners, and wedding influencers at Amy Osaba Studio. Say hello to The Biggest Fake Wedding! It was a night of endless inspiration, lots of familiar faces, and quite a few surprises. There was a vow renewal for our surprise proposal couple from our 8th Atlanta event, a surprise real wedding, and heck, even Santa was there. Read more details about the event below, then scroll on for the highlights!
The Biggest Fake Wedding featured alumni vendors from across the country – California to Minneapolis to Baltimore, and everywhere in between. We enjoyed lunch and a Q&A session with alumni florist, Amy Osaba, then came the sweet ceremony for our couple, Edward and Gina! Read more about their story here. Although each of our events has a “fake” wedding in the form of a vow renewal, this event had a bit of a twist — the renewal was followed by a very real surprise wedding ceremony. More on that coming soon! We then celebrated with dinner, dancing, and a custom love song from MelodyWed (included below!). Guests got swag bags with gifts like pearl bracelets from The Cultured Pearl Of Charleston, bow ties from xoelle, and record coasters from Q Made It.
