Bridal shows are one of the best ways to meet a host of potential vendors for your big day. You browse the stunningly designed booths, cake sample in hand, speaking with vendors face-to-face. You have the opportunity to ask them questions and often get to see a little preview of their work; no separate appointments needed. But there's one question your typical wedding show can't answer: "But what exactly will it all look like on my big day?" And that's where The Big Fake Wedding steps in.
An engaging alternative to your typical wedding show, The Big Fake Wedding is just that, a big fake wedding. A bevvy of hand-selected local vendors come together to pull off an exceptional evening of dinner, drinks and a dance-party reception. There's even an emotional vow renewal, reminding the attendees of the purpose for their own celebration: marriage. The "wedding guests" (brides- and grooms-to-be) get to experience their potential vendors in action as they hear, see, smell, taste and touch all the essential ingredients for an unforgettable wedding. With a theme like Floral Graffiti, we're certain they'll be plenty of incredible inspiration.
The Big Fake Wedding Minneapolis-St. Paul will be held on Thursday, August 27 at 7 p.m. at Le Meridien Chambers Minneapolis. Tickets ($25/person) include a cocktail-style dinner, Ferrari sparkling wine, and a swag bag. More information.
