It’s sunny, it’s May, and there’s only one thing we’re inspired by right now… FLOWERS. Particularly the wild and colorful kind. That was the concept behind The Big Fake Wedding‘s event in Pittsburgh, full of free-spirited and folksy wedding ideas with a bohemian ceremony and a cool, casual indie reception. See more in the photos Emily Havranek, Kayla Bri, & Requiem Images shared!

For their portrait sesh at Pittsburgh’s HIP at the Flashlight Factory, the team chose a light and airy wedding gown by Luna Boutique.

So pretty!

The Big Fake Wedding is a bridal show alternative for unique, creative couples that want to see wedding vendors in action. It takes place in the form of a big, fake wedding (complete with a *real* ceremony!), so couples get to see how the events of a wedding day unfold, and how each creative team works together to make it special. They now have events in cities all over the US, so even if you’re not in Pittsburgh, you can still find one tailored to your own location.
Their color palette was inspired by the many shades of ranunculus in California’s Carlsbad flower fields… a happy red, mint, soft linen, peach, day blazer yellow, and buttercup.

A few bohemian-inspired floral arrangements were an obvious must.

Not to mention a fishtail braid by la pomponnee beauty artisans for a laidback bridal look.

Rustic signage and garden blooms adorned every inch of the venu...
