Still dreaming about The Flower Cart Taranakis dreamy florals at the 2025 Taranaki Weddings Show!

Utterly loved the addition of grapes - creating a floral display that was literally good enough to eat.....(I promise - I didn't though)

"It's a lot of money to spend for one day"....

How many times have you heard that when it comes to planning a wedding?!

Can I be totally honest for a moment....whenever I hear someone refer to a wedding as "just one day" - it GRINDS MY GEARS! Honestly!

A wedding is SO more than "just one day" - it's the first day of the rest of your life as a married couple. It's a day that you get to do JUST ONCE! It's where your families are united. It's a day where you commit yourself, wholly and without conviction or fear to the love of your life. It's probably the only occasion in your life that everyone you love, cherish and trust will come together in support and celebration of you both. It's where, and when, your future begins.

That is all SO much more than "just one day". So the next time someone tells you're getting too stressed, spending too much money, or making too much effort for "just one day" - remember that it's your day. That you only get to do once. So do it the way you want to, go as extra as you want and lap up every second of it!

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"As a wedding vendor, I love being a part of Taranaki Weddings, the work they produce, the conversations they spark, and the events they host. From valuable networking opportunities to the mammoth Wedding Show they host each year, it is a place for inspiration and connection. Seeing the behind-the-scenes magic of the Taranaki Weddings team is truly inspiring. The time, effort, and care they pour into everything they do shows a genuine passion, not just for the wedding industry, but for the incredible range of local vendors they support. We are super lucky to have a platform in Taranaki that upholds such high standards while offering a warm, inclusive environment for all, no matter your business size or offering."

Just an FYI….plans for the 2026 Taranaki Weddings Show are OFFICALLY underway and we’ll be bringing ALL the goodtimes again….and maybe even more!

But there’s definitely going to be some changes….after 12 years of hosting expos we’re clued up on what works and what doesn’t but sometimes it’s nice to shake things up a little….they do say a change is as good as a rest, right!

Wonder if is free to join us again next year?
