The famous floral art festival has returned to the streets of Chelsea.
To celebrate the upcoming Platinum Jubilee, this year's theme was 'British Icons'. Shops, restaurants, and hotels were decorated with beautiful and colourful floral displays inspired by British characters and symbols.
Take a look at some of our favourite displays!
Hackett
Hackett celebrated both the Queen and Britain's iconic red letterboxes with this larger-than-life installation. Featuring postal worker mannequins, a huge letter, and of course the letterbox itself, Hackett's stole the show and earned themselves the award of 'Best Floral Display'.
Dermalogica
Love it or hate it, London's public transport is certainly iconic! Dermalogica won a Bronze award for their floral recreation of a classic red double decker bus and underground sign.
Jo Malone
Jo Malone London celebrated the Jubilee in style by creating a gorgeous garden of regal purple blooms, with adorable illustrated corgis dotted amongst the flowers. This display earned the Highly Commended award.
Sticks 'n' Sushi
This Chelsea restaurant won a much deserved Gold award for their intricate floral sculptures of a Queen's guard and a corgi - definitely fitting for the Jubilee!
Beaverbrook Town House
Beaverbrook earned a Gold award for their display, which featured a Spitfire plane surrounded by a beautiful collection of red, blue, and white flowers.
Poetry
Is there anything more quintessentially British than tea? The team at Poetry designed a whimsical tea party scene with roses, delphiniums, sorbus, and more.
MZ Skin
MZ Skin won a Silver award for their floral recreation of the Queen's silhouette, created with blush pink carnations, generous heaps of lush green foliage, and white blooms.
Annoushka
Annoushka worked with floral artist Lucy Vail to create a stunning floral arch filled with British wildflowers including alliums, irises, and foxgloves. The arch was finished with an elegantly crafted wicker crown to mark the Jubilee.
Jigsaw
Does anything say Britain quite like its unpredictable weather? Jigsaw's display was inspired by the idea of a sudden downpour during a sunny day, with vibrant umbrellas, dried helichrysum rain, and 'puddles' of poppies and buttercups. This bright and colourful scene won a Gold award.
Heidi Klein
Heidi Klein's design was inspired by British beach huts and the coastline,. The hut and beach chair set the scene, and were decorated with an array of potted plants and dried flowers to create a soothing, rustic colour palette.
Mother Vine
The Chelsea wine shop took us through the looking glass with their silver-winning display 'Alice in Wine-derland', which captured the famous 'Drink Me' scene from the iconic story.
The Sea The Sea
The Sea The Sea paid homage to the British seaside with an iconic red telephone box filled with wild flowers and plants, and set against a beach backdrop. This rustic display won Silver.
NARS
NARS earned a bronze award for their bright and beautiful floral arch, created with a selection of British flowers.
