That stately manor. The upstairs/downstairs dynamics. Those dresses. There has been so much to love about Downton Abbey over the years—now, we have something else that will surely excite its fans, followers, and even first-time watchers. Coinciding with the cultural phenomenon’s September release of the much-awaited third Downton Abbey film in theatres, this year’s Fleurs de Villes takes its inspiration from the British television and film period drama, where one-of-a-kind, fresh floral mannequins will come to life at Bal Harbour Shops for the annual 10-day event.

Launching on February 28 and running through March 9, Fleurs de Villes Downton Abbey will showcase an array of stunning flower-infused installations, each created by a local Miami-based floral designer, including Andres Aguilar Designs, Atala Miami, Blake Roses, Blooming Flower Art, Doral Orchids Florals & Events, Flower Therapy, Flowers by Rodolfo, Formaneta, Isáchi Flowers & Crafts, Kat Saenz Productions, KateAsFlowers, Le Stem, Let’s Bloom Miami, Lush Celebrations, My Divine Decors, Something Blooming, The Event Group Design and Decor, Over The Decades, and Say Sukii Flowers. The entire event, which takes on every level of the Shops, is open to all guests of Bal Harbour Shops, with no reservations or tickets required. A total of 25 unique mannequins will be placed throughout our lush green oasis, as well as in Bal Harbour Village and at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, located just across Collins Avenue.

“We’re honored to once again host the launch of Fleurs de Villes’ world tour while also supporting Miami’s very own talented florists,” said Carolyn Travis, Marketer General for Bal Harbour Shops. “Our city is home to an incredible wealth of talent, and we are thrilled to bring this artistic vision to life through the exquisite beauty of flowers.”

Don’t miss this special opportunity to see how the Crawley family comes to life through the eyes of the most talented local designers—and in the unparalleled setting of Bal Harbour Shops.
