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.  Professional photographer, Julian Winslow will be looking to capture the beauty of your work on the day for the Professional Florist magazine Photoshoot... so why not bring your design along - working with the event’s theme of Summer Wedding Flowers.  The 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) from the CGMA website and simply take along your design on the day to the Flower Market Stage area.
