This year, trade fascinators for natural florals. Made from real plants and flowers, The Crossing’s Tholsie & Co ushers in a new era in raceday style – where floristry becomes fashion. Each delicate orchid earring, divine piece of headwear or elegant boutonnière is handcrafted with beautiful elements of nature.

“Our wearable florals are inspired by the elegance of nature, combining the sculptural beauty of succulents and orchids with a modern, refined style,” says Tholsie & Co’s Melanie Collins. “Every piece is handcrafted and unique, designed to stay fresh, feel comfortable, and reflect your individual style. Succulents can even be replanted for a second life, making them a sustainable, eco-conscious choice for Cup Week this year.”

Tips for wear

Keep cool and shaded until wearing.
Handle gently – flowers are delicate and best left in place once styled.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat, and hairspray – orchids and succulents are more resilient but will last longer when protected.
