Stepping Into the Wedding World: My First Ever Wedding Expos

by EarthTone

This January marks an exciting milestone for Earth Tone, my first ever wedding fayres! As a small business owner, this feels like a big, meaningful moment. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share my passion with couples planning their big day.

Over the next few weekends, you'll find me at two local wedding events - the Hampshire Wedding Expo on Sunday 18th January, and the South West Love Fest Fayre at Hawke Barn on Sunday 25th January. These events are the perfect chance for me to connect with couples who value nature, meaning, and timeless keepsakes. Unlike the pop-up markets I've done before, wedding fairs require a deeper level of storytelling. I've been busy behind the scenes, preparing pressed flower framed samples that showcase different styles and budgets, along with clear explanations of my flower pressing and preservation process.

When you visit my stand, you'll find a space that feels calm and natural, true to the Earth Tone brand. Soft colours, natural textures, and the pressed flowers themselves will do the talking, inviting you to imagine how your own wedding bouquet could be transformed into a beautiful piece of floral artwork for your home. I'll be on hand to chat through ideas for framing, from classic pressed flower framed pieces to more modern, flowery frame designs.

What I'm most looking forward to is meeting couples who care about meaning, not just trends. I can't wait to talk about memories, not just products, to see people connect emotionally with the idea of preserving their wedding flowers. Whether you're attending one of the fayres or just exploring the idea of wedding flower preservation, I'd love for you to come say hello. Who knows, you might just find the perfect way to keep your wedding flowers alive long after the big day.

Where You'll Find Me This January

Why Wedding Fayres Feel Different to Pop-Up Markets

I've done pop-up markets before, so I already had some things ready - display props, branding basics, and the confidence to talk about my floral artwork and handmade craftsmanship. But wedding fayres ask for a deeper level of storytelling. I've been preparing clear explanations of my flower pressing and preservation process, so I can help couples imagine how their own wedding bouquet could be transformed into a beautiful, lasting keepsake.

What I've Been Preparing Behind the Scenes

In addition to creating pressed flower framed samples in different styles and budgets, I've been making sure my designs clearly showcase how dried flowers pressed can be turned into nature-inspired decor for the home. I've also been working on pricing, booking information, and simple ways couples can get started with preserving their wedding flowers.

Designing a Stall That Feels Calm and Natural

When it comes to styling my stand, I'm keeping things true to the Earth Tone brand - soft colours, natural textures, and letting the pressed flowers speak for themselves. I want the space to feel like a peaceful corner of nature, showing that wedding flower preservation can feel personal, not clinical.

Talking to Couples About Their Flowers

I'll be on hand to explain the flower pressing and preservation process in an easy, gentle way, helping couples imagine their bouquet as floral artwork on their wall. I'm excited to share ideas for framing styles, from classic pressed flower framed pieces to more modern, flowery frame designs.

What I'm Most Looking Forward To

More than anything, I'm looking forward to meeting couples who care about meaning, not just trends. I can't wait to talk about memories, not just products, and to see people connect emotionally with the idea of preserving their wedding flowers.

If you're attending either the Hampshire Wedding Expo or the South West Love Fest Fayre, I'd love for you to come say hello. Feel free to chat, browse, or just take some inspiration - I'm here to help you explore the possibilities of wedding flower preservation. And if you can't make it to the fayres, you can always visit Earth Tone online to learn more.
