Dream In Color, Macy’s Flower Show 2009
A blossoming dreamworld suitable for Cinderella, within a modern urban landscape. Where can you find such a thing? Nope, it’s not the Botanical Gardens and it’s not Central Park, it’s Macy’s!
To the right of Jessica Simpson‘s peep toe pumps and somewhere near Michael Kors‘ skinny city shorts lies a secret garden – filled with spectacular flowers, topiaries, and trees from all over the world. For the next two weeks Macy’s is hosting their 35th annual Flower Show offering visitors free activities and events for the entire family. Located indoors on the main floor of Macy’s, The World’s Largest Store will house a magnificently vibrant environment featuring not only flowers, but music, culture and of course, fashion!
Grace your eyes with two of Macy’s traditional themes: the Bouquet of the Day, fantasy bouquets created by world-renowned floral/entertainment designers and their fantastic in-door flowering cherry trees. Then, be one of the first to see the newest addition and this year’s main attraction – three pairs of 10-feet-tall flamingo topiaries constructed from live flowers. The dynamic in-store garden displays will feature more than 1 million bulbs and over 30,000 varieties of flowering plants and trees from six continents.
The highly-anticipated Dream In Color event is being held in five cities across the US – Chicago, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, and for the first time in Philadelphia.
Make sure not to miss their famous Broadway windows, featuring six living gardens consisting of thousands of live flowers that portray an oversized flamingo traveling to various destinations including Mexico, Japan, New York City, Las Vegas, as well as a rainforest and a tropical setting.
After this winter, we could all use some color therapy. So, pull your sneaks out of the closet, call your favorite guy or gal and take advantage of this free feast for your senses. Dream in Color!
