The infamous Chelsea Flower Show is a splendid British event,
and the ilovegorgeous team were lucky enough to celebrate it’s centenary show over
the Bank Holiday weekend. The CFS proved why it has stood the test of time with
its weird and wonderful statues, wild piles of blooms, and a regal history.
The NSPCC’s spellbinding “Garden of Magical Childhood” took
us back to the days of building rickety tree houses and playing hide and seek with
our teddy bears. Designed by Adam Woolcott and Jon Smith, the garden holds a
wonder of nostalgic features - vintage toys, kaleidoscopic flowers and
even a wishing pond. The show imitates a child’s imagination and supports the “What
Will we Leave?” campaign which hopes to get us thinking about the
precariousness of childhood and what we are leaving behind.
We were fascinated by the artistic and
inventive displays, and and the show was a huge source of inspiration for our
designers Lucy and Sophie. We have included plenty of pretty florals in our
current collection from floaty fairy dresses to bright retro bikinis. There's a
print for every gorgeous girl to choose from whether it be our delicate ditzy,
50’s tulip or funky fluorescent print!
