There's quite a of work to do even before construction, all materials have to been conditioned & grouped...
The bouquet itself was designed by Jane Packer & contains 4 different types of British grown roses, lavender, wheat, rosemary & mint which also all have been produced in the UK. It is designed in quadrants to reflect the 2012 logo & the lines of materials in between them are supposed to represent British ingredients - they also provide a lovely scent!
There's been quite a lot of different opinions on these bouquets as they are not in any way a typical victory bouquet - they are far smaller & simpler but I really like them - I love the rustic, understated look to them.
Me with a finished Victory Bouquet!
Athletes with the victory bouquets...
Exciting stuff!xxx
