Everything You Need to Know About the RHS Chelsea Flower Show

thelondoner.me

If you’ve never heard of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, let us help you! It’s a multiple day-long event produced by the Royal Horticultural Society, held in the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, London, celebrating cutting-edge floral design, and is widely considered the “haute-couture” of gardening. With this year’s show approaching quickly in our social calendars (Tuesday 23rd to Saturday 27th May!), we thought we would share our favourite floral pieces to embody the true essence of the event.

The Floral Satchel

Combining timeless shape and style with a pop of colour, this Kate Spade satchel is perfect for this occasion. Able to hold everything you’ll need for the day, the unique floral design will be sure to pop against any outfit! Our styling suggestion? A flowy dress and a pair of classic pumps.

The Silk Wrap Dress

We just can’t get enough of this Jigsaw wrap dress as it is truly the perfect dress for this event! The wrap detailing enables the dress to be worn in the most comfortable way for you – maybe even as a cover-up if you wish? Whether you want to dress up or down, match it with a black wedge sandal or a cute pair of flipflops.

The Comfortable Sneaker

Cole Haan has come through with the perfect trainer this spring/summer… We know what you’re probably thinking: Nothing’s worse than a thick trainer in the beaming sun! Not a problem, this summer staple has a memory foam foot-bed designed for breathability as well as comfort. We can see this versatile style being rocked with anything from denim to satin.

The Elevated Accessory

Looking for something to jazz up your up-do? Hair scarves are all the rage, and the versatility is endless as they can be worn with just about any hairstyle from a classic ponytail, to a contemporary half-up-half-down look, to an elegant bandanna. Jigsaw definitely had summer in mind when designing this silk scarf.

The Adorable Dress

This adorable cotton baby dress is enough to make anyone melt. A white base with the sweetest floral design makes it the perfect outfit for a special summer occasion like the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Imagine it now with a pair of white booties and you just can’t help but smile! (Don’t worry parents, it’s 100% cotton so your baby will stay cool and comfortable.)

The Stylish Cushion

Admiring the florals in your own garden rather than attending the show this year? This stylish cushion has been handwoven to make the perfect decoration for those who appreciate the traditional interiors that make a house a home. Created using a stunning colour palette made to complement everything you already have, we see this contemporary item matched with a beautifully woven blanket or a statement armchair.

The Hosting Set

What better way to celebrate spring/summer than hosting your nearest & dearest for garden parties to admire your beautiful outdoor space and all of the flowers that have bloomed. This set of plates is the perfect way to add a pop of colour to your outdoor dining table – we know you’ll be as obsessed as we are.
