Fun, vibrant, and energetic – that’s pretty much The Big Fake Wedding Chicago in a nutshell. When we first described the mood of the inspiration board to our vendors, who knew how wildly accurate it would turn out to be? Not only did the decor and details embody these three words perfectly, but our vendors, cast, and guests did as well! There were *grown-up* sno-cones, a gif-style photo booth, and a never-ending dance party led by the cast (that included a bridesmaid doing the splits). Let’s just say that our second Windy City event was so much fun that even after a 14 hour work day, we never wanted to leave. Take a look at some highlights below!

Inspiration
Flowers can be soft and romantic, sure. But they can also be bright, loud, and explosive. Following a “Floral Graffiti” inspiration board, our Chicago vendors were encouraged to be vandals, using flowers as their can of spray paint. Did this mean everyone had to use fresh flowers in their designs? Of course not! The talented vendor team used the floral color palette in creative ways, incorporated floral tastes into desserts, and used materials that were fresh, vibrant, and wild.
