Jane Packer Flowers shows how to use fresh flowers to bring colour, variety and style to every corner of the home. An introduction covers all the basics, including choosing flowers, conditioning and caring for them, as well as key design principles when it comes to choosing vases and containers and getting the proportions of arrangements right. There are dramatic flowers for mantelpieces, massed vases on console tables, tiny posies on windowsills, architectural blooms showcased on coffee tables, luscious colour on dressing tables and desks, and even cut flowers for outdoor entertaining, as well as gorgeous arrangements for guest bedrooms and bathrooms. Fresh flowers have a powerful ability to raise our spirits and bring colour and a sense of vitality to every interior. In Jane Packer Flowers there are no stiff formal bouquets or party displays, just pretty, simple and achievable arrangements that you’ll yearn to recreate in your own home.
