Today I'd like to share my experience at the flower parade I visited during the weekend. I've seen a lot of events in TV, but never in person, till now.
Obviously I had an idea about what to expect, but you never know. It was a 3 day event, so in this heat using only fresh flowers would be suicide, but the flower artists know that very well and were prepared.
This was the first composition I saw after entering and loved it right away. Flowers and books belong together and the wall made of threads is an excellent idea. Looks really good.
There was a tron for whoever wanted to feel like a queen, it's just that touching any of the creations was strictly forbidden, which is understandable.
There was a lady standing behind the tron, elegantly dressed with a nice floral hat and a nice flower bouquet in her hand.
Then there was this gingerbread house with lollypops and gingerbread men. This proves when it comes to creativity, sky is the limit, and you haven't seen anything yet.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think this is the forest fairy (is there a forest fairy at all? 😆) and the forester? I love the lady's dress and the blower string around her neck. The hat is also lovely.
Here's the princess in her horse pulled chariot. As always, every photo took a lot of time to take as I had to wait for minutes in front of every composition, till people moved out of the way. This is why I went there fairly early, but even so, there was a crowd already.
I was really impressed by this composition. Loved the light blue dress with the white flowers and the colorful flowers around her. The chariot is also worth to be mentioned, look at the quality. I don't want to name my favorites before I show you everything, so let's move on.
This was a bit confusing. I think this was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as I see the dwarfs, but snow white is not dressed in white. Regardless, it was really lovely.
A shoe, maybe Cinderella's shoe?
Winnie-the-Pooh?
... and this was maybe the most interesting one. These figurines were big, over 2 meters, maybe 2.5 or 3m.
I tried to figure out what these were made of, but my knowledge is not enough. It was a dry material, but looked good.
This was the cavemen family and there was a story there well, their story. One day the family found a special flower, that contained the power of life.
Maybe this was Snow White and escaped from the dwarfs? I'm just joking, of course.
Two butterfly ladies, dressed up in tutus.
At this point it was obvious that the organizers wanted to capture the attention of the youngest category to feel good and make some nice memories. This is the only way to win them over.
Then I met Mr. Big Brown Bear, which seems a joke, but not to us, who live here. It looked great and I love them, but lately they are ruling our country and going to the woods is riskier than you think. They are roaming around at the outskirts of the city, 1.5km from my flat and we get alerts regularly. Regardless, this big brown bear looked really nice.
Then there was this lady, happy about something.
On Saturday, these cars were parading in the city center (as far as I know), but I wasn't there, so on Sunday they brought them to the exhibition and I could take some photos of them. It says the power of community, it is written in Hungarian.
There were some lovely flowers there, I would be happy to have them.
I stood here for 5 minutes, waiting for people to move away and still could not take the perfect shot.
These were real flowers and honestly, I felt sorry for them as there were 30C out there. Most likely they were watered after the crowd left, but even so ...
Wildlife was nicely represented.
There were some nice swans here, but it was impossible to take a decent photo from the front. Literally impossible.
The cherry on the cake was this lady and the three others that are coming on the next photo. I loved her dress/composition a lot and everyone wanted a photo with her, this is why it was impossible to capture her alone.
I was lucky with these 3 ladies as they stopped and posed for me, even thought the light was not what I'd like. You need to learn to take photos regardless of the conditions and that's exactly what I did.
I could imagine a parade, or a fashion show with clothes like these. Love it. They were nice and posed for everyone.
Overall it was a fun experience. This was the second edition. I missed the first one last year, but I'm not going to miss the next one.
As you could already figure out, these ladies are my favorite, the one in the black dress included, the lady in the chariot, the stone age, or the cavemen family. Let's see which one is yours.
