After the huge success of their 2022 global FEMMES show in August 2022,
the world-renowned floral show Fleurs de Villes returns to The Calyx at the Royal Botanic
Garden Sydney for the global launch of Fleurs de Villes PRIDE – a floral celebration of joy and
inclusivity, presented as part of Sydney WorldPride Pride Amplified.
From 17 – 26 February, the Fleurs de Villes PRIDE exhibition will showcase a series of fresh floral
mannequins celebrating inspirational members and allies of Australia’s LGBTQIA+
community, including some of Sydney WorldPride’s Rainbow Champions – influential figures
chosen for their contributions to LGBTQIA+ community and culture. Fleurs de Villes is proud to
be working with some of Sydney’s favourite florists, who will create these tributes based on an
inspirational photo of each tribute. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased on the
Pride Amplified website HERE.
Participating florists include Uncle & Ghost Botanics, Max & Co Floral Design, Rose Moon
Flowers, Hayfever Flowers, Moon Flower Artistry, LS Flower Design, Once and Flor’al by Abby,
Bold Botanicals, Belfield Blooms, Kris McKee Floral Design, If The Florist, Fable Studio Co, Petals
& Leaves, Paper Daisy Studio, Merci Flowers Sydney and Mme Margaret.
Fleurs de Villes PRIDE will feature floral tributes honoring these LGBTQIA+ cultural icons and
trailblazers including Kylie Minogue, Vanity, Courtney Act, Jojo Zaho and Casey Donovan.
Other highlights of Fleurs de Villes PRIDE will include bright and joyful pop-up flower markets,
floral workshops and fabulous Floral Discos on the 17th and 24th of February, where guests
can toast to the start of a magical Sydney WorldPride and party to live DJ beats alongside
the stunning floral exhibit. As well as the floral tributes featured at The Calyx at the Royal
Botanic Garden Sydney, another stunning PRIDE mannequin will be on display in the lobby of
InterContinental Sydney, Fleurs de Villes PRIDE’s official hotel partner in Sydney.
PRIDE is a ticketed event open to the public from 9am – 4pm daily. Tickets can be
