Fleurs de Villes is bringing back its floral installation extravaganza to the lobby of New York’s Hudson Yards starting Oct 6. I will be one of the judges along with Corrine Heck of Details Flowers. We will be asked to judge the floral installations in categories such as Most Realistic, Most Creative, and Best in Show.
Over 14 talented florists will create 10 ft. flower-infused installations inspired by iconic destinations that are free for the public to enjoy. Plus, it’s a perfect place for special Instagram moments. Last year, the show’s theme was iconic women.
Fleurs de Villes, led by Tina Barkley and Karen Marshall, is like catnip to the flower-loving public and, in the past four years, has created shows all around the globe.
Creating any of these installations requires days of work. Each flower is attached to a tube and delicately put into the mannequin so it lasts for 10 days. Manipulating shapes and considering colors, as well as creating movement, is all part of these talented florists’ challenge. Thousands of blooms are used for these creations to bring joy, merriment, and awe to the public. There are also floral classes offered to learn about floral arranging.
