After spending the morning exploring the beautiful displays at Belgravia in Bloom, we made our way across to Chelsea for this year’s spectacular 'Out of this World' Chelsea in Bloom.
From cosmic aliens to mythological gods, the floral creations were truly out of this world. 👽⚡🏛️ Every corner revealed something more imaginative than the last, with breathtaking installations transforming the streets of Chelsea into a celestial floral wonderland.
Here are some of our highlights from the day:
1. Moon Landing Scene at Duke of York Square
One of the most spectacular displays of the festival had to be the incredible Moon Landing installation at Duke of York Square. Featuring a four-metre astronaut alongside a towering six-metre moon on the King’s Road, the sheer scale of the display was absolutely breathtaking.
Created using roses, hydrangeas, lilac and blue delphiniums, festuca, and purple alliums, the installation perfectly captured the mystery and beauty of space exploration.
It also provided the perfect backdrop for our Dark Stars III case.
2. Medusa: The Gaze on Sloane Street
We absolutely loved Medusa: The Gaze on Sloane Street and were not surprised to see it awarded Gold.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail were simply phenomenal. From the intricately designed floral snakes to the stunning sunglasses, every element of the display felt dramatic, luxurious and completely captivating.
Symbolising both beauty and power, Medusa made the perfect backdrop for our Poisonous 2 case.
3. Out of This World Floral Globe on King’s Road
This incredible floral globe on King's Road paid tribute to our national hero, David Attenborough, in celebration of his 100th birthday.
Covered in floral wildlife including gorillas, elephants, polar bears, flamingos, butterflies, and parrots, the installation beautifully celebrated the wonders of our planet and the importance of protecting it.
The globe was vibrant, uplifting and full of engaging details making it the perfect setting for our Cheetah Jungle case.
4. Giant Daisies at Annoushka Jewellery, Cadogan Gardens
Annoushka Jewellery transformed the entrance to their boutique on Cadogan Gardens with a stunning installation of oversized daisies.
Elegant yet playful, the display added a burst of joy to the street and perfectly captured the whimsical spirit of this year’s festival theme. Sometimes the simplest floral concepts can have the biggest impact and this display proved exactly that.
The giant blooms also made the perfect backdrop for our Pink Daisies case. 🌼
Final Thoughts
This year’s Chelsea in Bloom may have been one of our favourites yet. The creativity, scale and craftsmanship on display across Chelsea were simply extraordinary, with each installation bringing its own unique interpretation of the “Out of This World” theme.
From astronauts and mythical gods to tributes celebrating the beauty of our planet, the festival once again transformed the streets of Chelsea into an immersive open-air gallery of floral art. We already can’t wait to see what next year brings. 🌸✨
