A COSMIC Christmas has arrived on the banks of the Thames as the Shangri-La hotel have unveiled a conceptual seasonal design venture in collaboration with London-based florist, McQueens Flowers.
Keeping with the futuristic, sky-scraping architecture that is the Shard, London’s highest hotel has opted for a space-age approach to their festive displays. Standing at 12 feet tall, an intergalactic fir mixes tradition with fantasy, and is a testament to the work of the floral artists at McQueens.
