At the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton on Friday, flowers were in the air, on display and worn by thousands of people for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
“We’re celebrating gardens and flowers here,” says the show’s director, Trent Cornish, who created Floral Fridays. “Wearing florals makes you just feel fun and free. Like you don’t take yourself too seriously.” Attenders were invited to wear florals in exchange for discounts at the flower market and best-dressed prizes. “We want the audience to feel like they can dress up, create moments and take photos in front of the lavender,” he says.
