Pick the flowers. Find the vase. Forget the rules.
Life in Bloom is the beautiful debut book from florist Graeme Corbett , founder of Bloom & Burn , and a celebration of arranging flowers naturally, creatively and with the seasons.
Following a full year in flowers, Graeme moves from narcissi and ranunculus in spring and blowsy peonies and poppies in summer to richly coloured dahlias and phlox in autumn, before embracing dried honesty, forced blossom and the quieter beauty of winter.
Along the way, he shares the techniques behind his wonderfully relaxed floral style — from sourcing and conditioning your stems to understanding colour, texture, shape and movement and, most importantly, developing your own eye.
You'll learn how to create hand-tied bouquets, beautiful bowl arrangements, mossages and naturally styled displays for the home , with plenty of ideas to inspire your own creations rather than simply telling you what goes where.
Filled with gorgeous photography and flowers we'd quite happily spend all day looking at, this is as lovely left open on the coffee table as it is taken into the garden or workroom.
A beautiful gift for flower lovers, gardeners, budding florists and anyone happiest with a pair of snips in their hand.
