The Creative Director Angela Turner told Winchester Today that she's tried to create 'Daisy Fever': "As soon as you walk into the Cathedral you'll see the hanging designs in a simple archway."
"Then you'll see the natural meadow area!"
Winchester Cathedral Alive With Flowers - Creative, yet Simple
Angela told us that she did not want to cram the Cathedral full of flowers, but enhance the whole building: "I wanted to be inspired by the English garden, and bring some of the outside inside."But it was very important not to cram the building. That was the main thing I wanted to do; not fill every window ledge, but be creative.
"In some flower festivals they seem to have flowers on every window ledge. We haven't done that. It's simple. That includes the nave; it's such an imposing building anyway, but we've looked at how we could do it properly, reflecting things like the vault."
Angela says she is particularly pleased with the colour scheme of yellow and white, as you can see above: "It's very refreshing."
Angela says she's also had the help from people belonging to local flower arranging groups through NAFAS, and didn't exactly have much difficulty in finding 300 volunteers from throughout the Wessex and Jersey area!
The Symphony of Flowers runs until 5pm Sunday 16 June.
