Created by renowned floral designer Jonathan Moseley, the beautiful gown was revealed on Thursday September 17, with model Anna Cartmell-Done showcasing the finished creation within the historic surroundings of Newby Hall.
The gown is the centrepiece of Jonathan’s installation, Grain & Grandeur, The Harvest Ball.
Inspired by the abundance, colour and textures of the autumn harvest, Grain & Grandeur celebrates the season through flowers, grasses, grains, seed heads and other harvest-inspired materials.
The Harrogate Autumn Flower Show opens on Friday September 18.
The Yorkshire Post photographer Tony Johnson went down to capture the reveal on Thursday:
