Warren Bushaway – IN THE PRESS

Warren Bushaway – the florist behind Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy’s decorations – said the displays can cost up to £40,000.

He explained they can sometimes take five or six people working over two days to finish.
Mr Bushaway, who has created scenes for a number of well known personalities, said: ‘It’s like Christmas art! Like Banksys all over London. I love that most of my clients just trust me to do whatever I feel like.’
The merry entrances on show here all belong to famous faces from TV, sport and music.
Two of the doorways boast giant Nutcracker soldiers, while one country cottage has a life-sized reindeer and wooden sleigh outside it.
Most of the displays have twinkling fairy lights and many also feature lollipops, greenery and even peacock feathers.
But the question is, can you link the festive front doors to their celebrity owners...

Warren counts on Simon Cowell, Robbie Williams , Peter Crouch and many other celebs as regular clients to decorate their multimillion pound homes.
Some Chelsea residents have decided to embellish their entrance with a gorgeous golden skeleton, and to make things even spookier, he is wearing a black cloak and holding a matching skull-pointed spear, perhaps to ward off unwelcome spirits.
Meanwhile in Kensington, skulls and pumpkins are the order of the day with one property employing a line of the vegetables leading up to its door.
It's not just family homes that are getting into the spooky spirit either.
A hair salon in Chelsea has shown customers they're up for the fun by decorating the entire outside of the shop with autumnal leaves and skulls.

Britain's frightfully fabulous Halloween houses: Nation gets into the spooky spirit this October as skeletons and corpse brides try to lure trick-or-treaters into their cobweb-covered homes (but would YOU be brave enough to enter?)

Halloween is just two days away and Britain is getting into the spooky spirit with streets and houses covered in cobwebs and decorated with skeletons and pumpkins.
In West London, a quiet Kensington street has been all but transformed into scenes reminiscent of a nightmare on Elm Street with ghouls, ghosts and bats.
Pumpkins are also a popular decoration with an estimated eight million set to be used over the course of the Halloween festivities.

Warren got down on one knee to give Lizzie one of his flowers.

The glamorous star had black winged eyeliner and wash of flawless foundation across her visage.
The outing comes after the star tore her faux-leather trousers in a potentially embarrassing area earlier this month.
The TV and radio presenter was left red-faced after the outer-seam of her black fitted trousers tore across the bottom, fully exposing her lacy sheer underwear. Sharing the awkward moment with Instagram followers, Lizzie revealed a large, inconvenient rip on her backside, but failed to disclose if the accident happened during one of her many public appearances.
Captioning the image, she wrote: 'Ever have one of those days? Gulp... got a needle and thread anyone?'

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch get in the festive spirit as they erect their VERY lavish Christmas tree and vast wreath... 40 days before the 25th!

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch got in the festive spirit on Monday as they put up their Christmas decorations a whopping 40 days before the big day. The couple enlisted the help of florist to the stars Warren Bushaway who was on-hand to decorate the vast tree and their front door in glam style. Ensuring they had a great time during the decorating, Peter was seen pulling off his legendary robot football celebration as well as using his 6ft6in height to get to the hard to reach places in their lavish home.

Abbey looked simply sensational as she posed next to Peter in their lavish home complete with a spiral staircase and bold neon sign. 

The decorating session comes after Abbey revealed Peter jokingly 'threatened to leave her' after she brought their Labrador puppy Jeffrey home.
The 2013 Strictly Come Dancing champion surprised former Liverpool and England striker Peter with the new addition to their family home last March, but admits the dog soon won her exasperated husband round.
Speaking to Rochelle Humes on her My Little Coco podcast, Abbey explained: 'We got a puppy last March. Pete was like: ''If you literally bring one more living thing into this house, I'm gonna leave''.
He went on: 'But I don't need to love another thing - there's loads of love in the house. Don't give me another thing to love!'
However it seems Peter has since taken to the sweet pooch, with Abbey revealing Jeffrey was asleep on Peter's feet during the conversation.
She joked: 'Don't listen Jeffrey!'
Abbey also revealed it had been a life-long dream of hers to grow up surrounded by animals.

The secrets of a celebrity Christmas decorator: From competing neighbours to extravagant £30,000 displays

Speaking of the rivalling neighbours, he continued: ‘There’s two people on one street in particular that I do, and they want to know what the other one is doing and how much the other one is spending so they can spend more and make it bigger.

Christmas wouldn’t be quite the same without celebrities boasting their over-the-top displays across social media, and no one knows better than Warren Bushaway just how lavish and extravagant these works of art can become.

he self-dubbed ‘Banksy of flowers’ and his team have created incredible works of art for the likes of Simon Cowell and Abbey Clancy, and despite there being a cost-of-living crisis, this year hasn’t actually been any different.
With business booming as ‘people wanting to cheer themselves up’ and an upturn in spending, clients have been demanding even more glamorous displays, can even mean outdoing neighbours.
Warren exclusively told Metro.co.uk: ‘People are wanting to cheer themselves up, and I thought there may be a bit of a downturn with the way the economic crisis is, massive amounts of money have been wiped off these millionaires’ bank accounts, but actually, I’m not finding that, I’m finding the opposite, so I think there is definitely an upturn in people wanting to spend and the levels that they want to go to to compete with their neighbours, it’s definitely busier this year.’
