Flower Time!
the Puppini Sisters and flowers.org.uk
British summertime normally conjures up several images; long walks in the park, trips to the beach and most importantly summer festivals. One of the most exciting festivals to emerge over recent years is the Fruitstock Festival, which took place on the 5th and 6th August. The relaxed family vibe and free entry has already made it one of the London festival calendar’s highlights. The festival had yoga lessons, circus skills workshops, a farmers’ market and even a flirting tent. For the more creative, there were flower-arranging demonstrations held by the Flowers & Plants Association.
Summer is a great time to bring the outdoors in and create an oasis in your home. Using flowers that have intoxicating scents, textures and colours is a fantastic way of brightening up dull interiors. So what’s stopping more of us from creating our own colourful bouquets in our homes? Have you ever wanted to turn your hand to flower arranging but been put off because you think it’s too hard? Well, the Puppini Sisters, who were among the musical acts to perform at Fruitstock, joined the scores of people in the Flowers & Plants tent, to give it a try on the day and find out just how fun and easy it is.
The fashionable trio with a penchant for 1940s swing music were on hand showing how to combine flowers and fashion. Working with the Flowers & Plants Association, the girls made lots of fun, funky creations with flowers including bracelets, necklaces and even corsages for the waist.
This summer, instead of reaching for the remote why not grab at the chance to learn how to get creative with flowers. It’s so simple – so try it yourself! Join us and gain handy hints on how to create simple and beautiful creations to be proud of.
