This ticket only event will feature top tips on marketing to brides, wedding trend seminars with leading wedding industry experts and floral demonstrations by top London florists.
Take the chance to really talk wedding flowers with Flower Market traders - availability, colour, British, quality, variety - and to explore the first of many fabulous Summer Wedding flower options at first hand.
Plus our professional photographer, Julian Winslow, will be looking to capture the beauty of your work in the Professional Florist Photoshoot. Working with the event’s theme of Summer Wedding Flowers, your brief is to create a design for a bride to carry down the aisle, showcasing exclusively summer flowers and foliage. If you would like to enter, then buy your ticket(s) below and simply bring along your design on the day to the Flower Market Stage area.
