Issue 5! The fifth edition of Fusion Flowers – Weddings Magazine is due to be released on 28th May 2010. We can tell you that for the first time ever we have 20 – yes 20 Designer Wedding Collections which feature over 160 bridal concepts to inspire you and your clients for the year ahead. The list of designers involved includes Zita Elze, Ulrich Stelzer, John Hosek, Wendy Andrade, Annette Von Einem, Lowdi Kwan, Kebbie Hollingsworth, Damien Koh, Kimberly Nelson, Leonidas Rammos, John McDonald, Teresa Maria Ineke Turangan, Natasha Lisitsa, Debbie Gough, Alex Segura Arana, Francesc Porres, Gail Anderson, Lorna Campbell, David Ragg and the legendary former Interflora World Cup winner – David Denyer + a fun ‘Man Design’.

We also feature a world exclusive report on the Wally Klett/UK School of Floristry catwalk show where more than 60 designs were created (not all featured in the magazine) which takes us up to more than 200 designs in this issue. There is also a remarkable story from California of a wedding event with a difference – designers Natasha Lisitsa of Waterlily Pond and Mary Podgurski of Pod & Seed created a fairytale setting in the forest and then proceeded to do the same again in a ‘log cabin’!

Featured too is the story of Precious Petals, a company who preserves bridal bouquets and from Pakistan we bring you the story of the use of henna and explore a remarkable 2-day wedding event using literally thousands of flowers. Plus we have 7 tutorials from those amazing Australian designers – Mark Pampling and Irene Brockwell. Of course, there’s Vows & Wows on Trends and our fabulous Directories of botanical materials, sundries, designers and specialist outlets.
