Fleurs: Bouquets, Arrangements, and French Floral Inspirations
Fleurs: Bouquets, Arrangements, and French Floral Inspirations
by Adrienne Ryser
In her stunning debut book, studded with lush photography shot all over the City of Love, Adrienne Ryser, florist and owner of L’Arrosoir, Paris’s oldest flower shop, shares her approach to flower arranging, combining her own whimsical influences with the more traditional French rules for flowers—as well as how and when to break them. In the style of a cookbook, with more than 50 bouquet “recipes,” you can rely on clear, step-by-step instructions and explanations of techniques.
From wild seasonal displays to monochromatic classics, minimalist bunches, dinner table centerpieces, and dried arrangements meant to last, Fleurs will inspire you to make flowers an essential part of your daily life—just as the French do.

This first book by Sandra Sigman, award-winning floral designer and owner of Les Fleurs, presents arranging flowers in the French style—bouquets that are chic and romantic.
In French Blooms, Sigman shares the distinct design principles she learned from her favorite Parisian florist, and offers tutorials, with images and instructions for creating French-inspired arrangements for different areas of the home.
With chapters on choosing the right containers, and flower care and tools, along with lush photographs, many taken in Paris, Normandy and Provence, this book is both inspirational and practical. It’s also a love letter to France—from Parisian sophistication to the simple grace of provincial life.
