It looked more like a small child had a moana themed party and the small children made a flower wall as a party activity/gift for the birthday child.

White, black and red flowers would've looked nice for DWP but I guess they couldn't do that as they'd already chosen tropical/bright flowers? So doomed to fail from the start.
For a second I was quite confused why red white and black would be nice for the Department of Work and Pensions 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Who was the idiot who kept calling Hydrangeas 'Hydrogens? 🙄
I may have misheard, but I’m sure when they were deciding on flowers 2 of them mentioned Coronations instead of Carnations!
Why do they always lack common knowledge and common sense?

I'm pretty sure one of them mangled the word eucalyptus as well as hydrangeas as mentioned above🤣

They should have just done a standard basic flower wall and made a sign saying 'Florals for spring? Groundbreaking!'

I really liked the flower arch and the pastel flower bouquets, not sure why they were being criticised for being boring in the boardroom before the winners were announced. Would much rather buy a bunch of them than the garish tropical flowers.

This was a good task I thought, for once it was nice to see one team actually do pretty well, rather than both teams having shocking results.

I still don't really like any of them or even know many of their names. Rothna isn't too bad but the rest of the girls are dire. The men are all just a bit meh as well.

The tropical team could probably have shifted some of their excess stock with a DIY arranging - using the fact that they were making bouquets up for the customers to see how to do it and take away an unarranged set of the flowers and foliage for a bit of a discount.

I didn’t love Connor and Laurence insisting on doing all the sales and keeping the girls on arranging and tidying.

It was fairly obvious that the types of flowers they went for were pre selected.

What are the odds that the clients wanted exactly the type of flowers they picked 😅

I definitely think a high end flower wall is doable with tropical flowers. You just need a bit of flair and an eye for design which none of them seem to possess 😅

I think it's definitely doable and would look amazing. I'm not sure that however amazing it was it would be suitable for the devil wears Prada though. I haven't seen the second one though, so maybe I'm wrong and Miranda wears a lot of tropical florals! 😂
 
In the real world, if a client was not happy with that flower wall, there is no way they’d have paid a penny for it, let alone £1000 for their “work”.

Yeah we noticed that, good to see gender stereotypes alive and well!

Generally I enjoyed the episode though, I love a country garden style and thought the arch looked pretty good for a bunch of novices.

They always think bigger is better just go back to basics surely being a bit basic is better than a eye watering monstrosity

Corporate away days in Egypt. It sounds like it's going to be one of the all-time biggest disaster classes!
