The Bloom Bar is a converted horse trailer that Heather Florals has been running at the Anniston Farmers Market. On October 18, it belongs to the expo floor.
Fresh-cut stems in buckets. Arrangements being built in real time. Mason jar bouquets you can buy and take home. It’s the kind of thing that turns a bridal expo into an actual experience.
You’ll also get to watch Heather work — which is the best possible way to understand what she’d do with your wedding flowers.

Wedding consultations
Talk to Heather about your vision. She'll be right there.
Heather is a florist, Program Manager at Anniston Museums & Gardens, and one of the people who made this expo happen. She knows the venue better than anyone — because she works there.
Her style runs garden-fresh and textural — the kind of arrangements that look like you pulled them from a field, except nothing was left to chance.

The Bloom Bar started as a $7,000 bet on a dream — a converted trailer built for a flower farm that closed before it ever found its audience. It sat in the yard. Heather tried to sell it. She drove to a local event center to pitch herself as a featured florist. They turned her down, saying she had to have done an event there first.
That venue is now listed on The Aisle. The Bloom Bar is the centerpiece of the October 18th expo.
The Bloom Bar didn’t sit there doing nothing. It was waiting.
