Heather Florals is parking her trailer on the expo floor. Fresh-cut stems, live arrangements in progress, mason jar bouquets to take home. It’s a working flower market in the middle of the room.
The trailer has been at the Anniston Farmers Market. On October 18 it belongs to the expo.

The Longleaf Event Center is the dedicated event space inside Anniston Museums and Gardens — a complex that includes the Anniston Museum of Natural History, the Berman Museum of World History, and beautifully landscaped grounds. One of Eastern Alabama's most unique venues.
We're targeting 50+ vendors across 8 categories: photographers, florists, venues, caterers, DJs, bakeries, hair & makeup, and jewelers. The confirmed list updates here as booths fill.
You don't have to, but most couples find it more useful to come together so you can both meet vendors and make decisions on the spot.
Totally fine. Plenty of people come to learn what things cost and get a feel for vendors before the proposal.
Yes — Anniston Museums and Gardens has a free surface lot at 800 Museum Drive. Additional street parking is available nearby.
Visit theaisle.app/expo/eastern-alabama/exhibit for full booth pricing, logistics, and the application. We're keeping this event to 50 booths — curated, not a convention floor.
