Gold – Victoria Richards of Lavender Florist

Victoria’s floral Chandelier, commemorating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is quite simply, stunning.

Designed in several pieces the Chandelier base was created using a series of Perspex discs and rods to give the illusion of glass, with wire chains individually crafted by Victoria herself, she painstakingly created the entire structure by hand.

Spirals of cardboard wrapped in wool adorned with Swarovski crystals and glass tubes completed the backdrop. Exquisitely adorning the construction with beautiful Orchids, spray Roses and Hypericum blooms, Victoria successfully created a display worthy of its gold medal placing.

“I really enjoyed the whole process and work that went into developing my idea. I was really thrilled with the gold medal, which I wasn’t expecting at all!” Victoria Richards – RHS Young Chelsea Florist of the Year, Gold medal winner.
