Spring-spration | The Floral Edition

13:27

Blooming, blossoming, budding flowers EVERYWHERE. If spring means anything at all, then it's flowers.

I had a completely different vision for this post, but felt like I HAD to post about this instead. If you read my London Edition blog post in this spring-spiration series, you'll have seen that one of the things I recommended to do was to attend The RHS Chelsea Flower Show and to say that half the city had the same idea is an understatement. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show took over the SW3 area all week and it was heaving with people wanting to get in on some of the floral action. I was there working on Wednesday so thought I'd share a few snaps.

As well as the show itself, a lot the shop fronts in the area get decked out in elaborate and beautiful floral installations, along with individual, large, floral structures scattered across the streets. For anyone who wasn't able to purchase a ticket, this was a great way to still get an essence of the the Flower Show and Chelsea in Bloom offered a great walking tour of all the installations for everyone to see.

The Chelsea Flower Show really upped it's game this year. There were definitely more installations - more out-there installations - than there have been previously and it was great to witness and be a part of all the hard work produced by so many different florists and stylists. The creativity that goes into everything is out of this world. More importantly, it was great seeing such good work getting recognised and appreciated.

Sadly, the last day of the Chelsea Flower Show was yesterday, however, some of these installations should still be up for a little while, so get yourself down to Sloane Square to start your own tour and get exploring.
