To celebrate the
Platinum Jubilee,
we have partnered with award-winning floral artist
Lucy Vail to design this year’s Royal Archway,
under which Her Majesty herself will enter the show. Measuring six metres across,
it promises to be the most elaborate archway the show has ever seen,
made up of over 2,
000 plants grown exclusively on British farms. In pride of place at the top of the arch will be
three sculpted wicker crowns,
an interpretation of
Annoushka’s iconic Crown Ring.
“This partnership is a dream come true
for me. I have known Lucy for many years,
and our Royal Archway collaboration is a real expression of our shared love of flowers,
colour and an informal approach to design. And of course it’s a huge tribute to the Queen on such a
momentous occasion.”
70 years on the throne is a colossal achievement – and a first in
British history. So, to further mark the occasion,
we have created a capsule collection of limited-edition,
specially hallmarked versions of our
Crown designs,
as well as two very playful
Platinum Jubilee-inspired charms.
Building on their Chelsea
Flower Show partnership,
Annoushka and Lucy will also team up for the annual Chelsea in Bloom festival,
which will run alongside the flower show,
transforming the stores and homes of Chelsea into a showcase of floral installations. We will be
turning our Cadogan Gardens Boutique into a riot of colour,
with both flowers and sculpture,
as we pay tribute to our RHS partnership and this year’s theme: ‘British Icons’.
Chelsea in
Bloom runs from 23rd to 28th May,
so do come down and see us at Cadogan Gardens and join in with the Jubilee celebrations.
