Serving an Ace of Petals at Wimbledon
Wimbledon is the epitome of English summers and conjures up images of pristine grass courts, excellent and competitive tennis matches and a festive summery atmosphere. Synonymous with tradition, elegance and sporting excellence, the Wimbledon Tennis Championship is not just a tennis tournament; it’s a cultural phenomenon that captures the hearts and imaginations of millions of spectators worldwide.
One of the most beloved aspects of Wimbledon is its association with the English summer. This year the tournament takes place 1- 14 July and coincides with the height of summer. The English weather, though known to be unpredictable, usually graces Wimbledon with sunny blue skies and warm temperatures – creating the perfect backdrop for great outdoor tennis.
This year Blooms Art is taking part in the preparations to capture the magic of the English summer in a variety of stunning floral garlands and decorations to decorate the restaurants and pubs in the ‘Wimbledon Village’ that will be used by the players and their entourage. For many weeks, the staff at Blooms Art has been busy preparing gorgeous artificial flowers and lush foliage to adorn a variety of venues. The flowers are in the colours of the Wimbledon Tennis Championship – purple, white and green – and many of the arrangements feature the playful addition of decorative tennis balls. The finished results look breathtakingly real and will transform every area in which they are placed and this will surely add to the magic of the Wimbledon fortnight.
The history of Wimbledon dates back to 1877 when the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club held the first Wimbledon Championships. Since then, it has grown to become the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world – one that is played on its 20 immaculately tended grass courts. The tradition of serving strawberries and cream at Wimbledon dates back to the 19th century and has since become an integral part of the event’s culinary experience. There’s something inherently delightful about indulging in this simple yet delectable treat while watching world-class tennis amidst the lush greenery of the All England Club.
Beyond strawberries and cream, Wimbledon holds a special place in the hearts of tennis enthusiasts the world over. It is at Wimbledon that legends are made, records are broken, and history is written on the famous grass courts. From the iconic rivalry between Bjoern Borg and John McEnroe to the dominance of Martina Narrational and Pete Sampras, Wimbledon has witnessed some of the most memorable moments in tennis history and continues to do so. It has inspired countless players to pursue their dreams and ignited a passion for the sport in generations of fans. The tournament’s prestige and history make it a career-defining moment for players and victory at Wimbledon represents the pinnacle of success in the world of tennis. Since 2016, the Wheelchair Tennis Championships has been added to Wimbledon with great success, ensuring that tennis is a sport that is accessible to as many players as possible.
In essence, Wimbledon is more than just a tennis tournament; it’s a celebration of tradition, excellence and the joys of the English summer.
