This unique event is a must-see for anyone who loves the show, flowers, or just a good dose of joy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Floral Fantasy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over 25 flower installations have been transformed into stunning works of art, each one inspired by the beloved characters from Downton Abbey. These aren&#8217;t just any flowers \u2013 they&#8217;re a labor of love, crafted by local floral artists who have brought the characters to life in the most exquisite way. From the opulent reds and pinks of Cora and Robert&#8217;s outfits to the elegant whites and creams of the Dowager Countess, every detail has been carefully considered to capture the essence of the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Behind the Scenes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We spoke to one of the local floral artists, Stephanie Gonzalez, who shared her inspiration for her piece, &quot;Cora and Robert&quot;. &quot;I just wanted to incorporate the colors you see in the show \u2013 the reds, the pinks \u2013 and bring it together with their cream outfits. It&#8217;s like a fashion statement in full bloom!&quot; she said. When asked if she would wear her own piece, she replied, &quot;I may actually wear it because I love the style of the overcoat. I just love classic looks and appreciate the details that go into bringing characters to life.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Result: A Sense of Joy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But what&#8217;s behind the scenes is just as impressive as the end result. &quot;It&#8217;s so worth it when you see people come into the show and literally see their jaw drop to their chin and have a moment of wow,&quot; says Karen Marshall, Director of Fleurs de Villes. &quot;We have joy everywhere you look here!
