The use of flowers in the home illustrates the mood-enhancing powers of colour. A floral display is the simplest way of changing the atmosphere of an interior. The palest of pink creates a feeling of calm and serenity. Hot colours like bright pink usually stand out and demand more attention than cooler shades like lilac. This book shows in detail the fundamental use of pink in floral arrangements, whether it is using it repetitively, in abundance of shades or simply as an understatement of interior chic.From simple posies to large pedestal arrangements, from button holes to candle centrepieces, Paula's rich repertoire of designs and her intuitive use of pink, in every guise, sets this book aside as the ultimate in feminine style and home elegance.Paula Pryke is one of the most famous and respected florists in the world.
