THE BIG FAKE WEDDING | DALLAS

We have been dying to share photos from the first ever Big Fake Wedding in Dallas last month and today we finally get to! This was such an amazing event full of incredibly talented vendors and we were so ecstatic to be invited to participate as one of three event designers.

For our part, we were in charge of the ceremony backdrop and three guest tables in the reception area. We really played off the modern-cool vibe of The Joule and created a hanging installation full of embroidery hoops, lace, and gold geometric accents.

For our guest tables we mixed modern metallics with vintage accents. Our centerpieces were simple rose gold wreaths with deep green and purple florals mixed in. In the center, we added a large vase with modern vinyl table numbers and candle to cast a glow over the whole tablescape.
 

We are so thankful to Lauren of Pretty Little Plates for lending us some of her gorgeous vintage dishes to really make our tables pop! How amazing are these?!

It was seriously awe-inspiring to see these huge team of vendors break out their absolute best to put on a kick-ass fake wedding for all the brides-and-grooms to be who attended as guests.

Be sure to check out our full gallery of the event and the event recaps from Ruffled and The Big Fake Wedding!

TREND | MARRIED FOR BREAKFAST

In the words of Leslie Knope, “Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?”

One of the trends we’ve been seeing and loving lately and is breakfast food at weddings. Especially since holding your wedding in the earlier hours can save you money! Plus, there is just something so charming and comforting about a hearty breakfast between friends and family. See some of our favorite breakfast-inspired wedding menus below!

Why, yes. I would love a slice of pancake cake! Put a stack of flap jacks on a cake stand, decorate with fruit and you have a gorgeous dessert!

Donut Display via How Does She

I’ve been personally trying to figure out how to incorporate this DIY Donut Display into my regular life but, alas, I have no reason to showcase dozens of delicious donuts for my regular morning routine. At an AM wedding though? I’m all over that!

Waffle & Pancake Bar via Weddings in Winnepeg

I love the idea of giving guests a choice of pancakes or waffles. I could even see teams starting to form (and maybe even a hashtag? #breakfastbattles). Plus, the berry baskets full of fruit offer an easy way for guests to customize their plates.

Cereal & Candy Display via Savannah Smiled

This display is one of my favorites, and it’s not just because Ms. Savannah is a really amazing friend of mine. Her wedding had lots of breakfast themed elements including catering straight off the Whataburger breakfast menu! She even DIY’d those coffee pot candy jars! The girl has skills.

What do you think of the breakfast wedding trend?  We think it’s A+ all around!
