The Big Fake Wedding made its way back to Nashville this spring. This event puts a new spin on a bridal show: It's a fake wedding (with a real married couple renewing their vows) so that engaged brides and grooms can see Nashville's wedding professionals in action. These wedding professionals come together to showcase their talents and products. This year's theme was Roma Red - warm colors with a little Italian Inspiration.
Take a look at some of the details captured by Casto Photography & Cinema and check back with us to see when the next Big Fake Wedding will make its way back to Nashville. We love it and know you will, too.

The Cupcake Collection - Love this place!
Street Tuxedo
Dulce Desserts - This vendor was giving out whole slices of cake! To no surprise there was a line of hungry brides, ready to taste! From the taste of the mouth-watering strawberry cake I tried and the look of their ongoing line, this cake & dessert vendor proves to be popular and delicious!
Creations by Debbie - Did you catch this vendors floral chandelier, hanging drapes, and divine table design for the show's competition? A friendly staff and their experiences with decorating various venues make this vendor a great addition to any bride's wedding planning needs!

Well this make up artist can do just that for you! Sweet staff and a fabulous display at the show gave me confidence that she could help me feel like a beautiful bride on my big day.
Merle Norman Beauty Queens Boutique Did you register to possibly win a wedding gown? Well I did with this amazing vendor. They offer bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and other types of formal wear with the help of fashionable stylists that are willing to help you shop!
David's Bridal - With 3 locations, this wedding dress vendor was booking appointments on site at the show! As a bride that's clearly shopping for a dress, I was ecstatic to receive a $50 voucher to take with me to my appointment in case I say, "Yes!" to the dress.

I was thrilled to attend the Perfect Wedding Guide Show for the first time at the Omni Hotel in Nashville! Upon arriving, I was greeted with amazing savings in coupons for various vendors and because I pre-registered I received a $200 gift card to symobolizeit.com. Let's just say the show was already off to a great start! From the fashion show to a lobby and ballroom filled with diverse vendors, I knew I would find the right vendors for me.
Here's my rundown of the show, including some of the businesses that grabbed our team's attention! (Click here for part 2.)
ABG bloggers Holly & Olivia
The Ballroom - These two guys caught my attention with their top hats and willingness to teach me any type of dancing there might be! To "top" it all off, I learned that The Ballroom, which provides dance lessons can also be used as a venue holding approximately 200 people and located in the Green Hills area.

Glitz Nashville - A bridal shop for dresses or formal wear of any kind! This was the first time I learned about the glamour of Glitz! Their display of beautiful models who wore gorgeous gowns inspired me to want to make my first bridal dress appointment!
Frosted Affair - The almond frosted cake was my favorite, but I am not ashamed to say I tried the other two, chocolate and strawberry! All three were incredibly delicious! Did I mention the creativity of their cake display or just how stunning the cakes themselves are?
Decadent Details' table design challenge
Chef Penelope's Catering - Talk about a way to capture brides, by feeding them "Dragon Popcorn" which was cool, delicious popcorn in my mouth! If you want a chef that delivers quality food with an elegant presentation, then be sure to schedule an appointment with Chef Penelope!

Finding the perfect venue for your wedding can be taxing, from traveling from one venue to the next to weighing all your options before making your final decision. At some point in the process, you’ll likely wonder if you’ve seen everything or overlooked any viable options.
That’s why the Sumner County Venue Crawl is so great! This new event affords busy brides ultimate convenience.
Duing this one-day event March 16, brides will have a chance to see more than a dozen venues and even more vendors all in one day.
This is perfect for the bride who is looking to see all this state has to offer, in addition to the traditional downtown Nashville spots. We spoke to Bo Jennings, Director of Sales for Chef’s Market Catering and a Sumner County venue manager.
Tell me about the Sumner County Venue Crawl. What can attendees expect?
It’s like a bridal show, but instead of a static location, we give brides the perks of going to see all the venues in Sumner County all at one event. It also gives venues a chance to show all they have to offer, which is sometimes difficult at a typical bridal show.
Each venue will have vendors present, and the venues and vendors will be running specials specifically for that day. Any bride that visits each venue will get a chance to take advantage of deals on catering, photography and more.
How will attendees travel from vendor to vendor?
Everyone will start at the Hyatt Place in Hendersonville (330 E. Main St.) to register. There, attendees will receive a map. People will be traveling on their own to venues because some might only want to visit rustic venues, indoor locations, etc. Besides, unlike other venue crawls, we want attendees to be able to spend as much time as they would like at each venue.
We will be doing a passport program where attendees will be able to mark all the locations they’ve visited. They will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize — something substantial toward their wedding day.
Which vendors will be present at the event?
Right now, we have 18 venues on board. With that, each venue is responsible for having its own vendors there. The vendors will represent a wide variety: from photographers to videographers to entertainment.
Why is an event like this important?
This event exposes people to all that’s up here. Sumner County has some of the greatest venues and scenery. A lot of brides initally want to be downtown, but this event is letting them know that there are other great options as well. And for those who have already picked their venue, it’s a fun way to find their vendors.
What time is the event and how much are tickets?
The event will be held on March 16 from noon-4 p.m. Cost for the event is $20 per ticket or $30 for two tickets, cash only. Update: We've just been given a special rate for ABG readers!! Just mention ABG at registration table and pay only $10 cash to enter the event.
