Have you been following along with our inspiration from The Big Fake Wedding events this year? (Scroll through some of our faves if you need a refresher!) August’s New England event took place at the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA, with local industry talent joining forces to create a laidback, romantic garden wedding for their bride + groom. And if you’re not familiar with The Big Fake Wedding, each event comes complete with a *real* vow renewal ceremony!

The greenhouse-inspired color palette: rosemary, moss, aloe, fern, orchid and clay.
Jewel toned bridesmaids are our fave around here, if you couldn’t tell.
Each Big Fake Wedding event includes a real ceremony, dinner and drinks, a dance party reception, and tons of inspiration from local vendors and industry pros.
The vendors used ferns, moss, orchids, and untamed florals to create the organic feel of a garden. Be sure to check out the credits at the end of this post for all the floral designers and other talented vendors involved!
From the linen menus to the moss table runner to the cascading floral cake, they were all about adding earthy texture and color to the historic New England setting. See more in our gallery!
