As well as the flower gowns, this week’s show will feature a Green Room, furnished from plant material including flower-filled cushions, a moss sofa, and living flower wallpaper.
Alongside the show gardens, with themes from a military prayer space to the Magic Roundabout, there will be arrangements celebrating fashion icons, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Chanel and Ralph Lauren.
The Harrogate Spring Flower Show will run from today until April 23 at the Great Yorkshire Showground.
