There’s one way to top off a girly weekend and that’s with these two words; flower wall. You’ve probably seen the floral covered Ivy spammed on your Instagram and here’s a bunch more photographs (‘bunch’ get it?) for you to feast your eyes on.

Over the bank holiday, I headed back to London for a girly weekend away with my friend Hannah (popular name I know) for 48 hours of cocktails, afternoon tea, flowers and more flowers. Via Oxford street (of course) we made our way to the Ivy Chelsea Garden for an afternoon cocktail under the unusually warm London sun. As you can probably tell, the already beautiful pub in Chelsea had been covered entirely in colourful and unusual flowers. Real flowers that is. Is there a better place for a cocktail in Spring? I doubt it.

The flower arrangement had been beautifully put together in celebration of Chelsea flower show. So as it turns out, we picked probably the best weekend to have organised a weekend in London. Literally, all the flowers.

The few seats out front were taken as we picked probably the most popular time to join the other flower-wall admirers so we headed to the bar and watched through the window as everyone snapped pictures of the display and just generally gawked at the dreamy flower arrangement.

The cocktail menu was equally impressive and the garden out the back was beautiful should you ever head to Chelsea with an empty stomach. I chose a cocktail that came in a pink tea cup (how very British) with a tiny milk jug of more cocktail should I run low – and it tasted just as delicious as it looked. I think It’s fair to say that the Ivy Chelsea Garden is a cocktail lover’s dream any time of year…
