French Blooms

Floral Arrangements Inspired by Paris and Beyond

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.

As Sandra Sigman learned while living in Paris in her twenties, the French consider each floral arrangement a unique work of art filled with passion, movement, texture, and surprise. 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.

Projects include a mantle display in ironstone gravy boats, compote-style dining room arrangements, powder room posies and beribboned hand-tied bouquets. 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.

What People Are Saying

sharon santoni my french country home author

  
    “Those who know Sandra can bear witness to how 
    generously she shares her love of flowers in her 
    everyday life. This beautiful book will broaden 
    that circle and allow her to share with a wider 
    audience of true flower lovers... be they in Paris 
    or elsewhere.”
  
    - SHARON SANTONI, author and founder of My French Country Home

  
    "A delicious romantic narrative that takes the reader 
    on a journey from the author’s childhood dreams of 
    owning a French-inspired flower shop to the beautiful 
    reality. We are treated to the chicest facades and 
    flower shopfronts of Paris, woven with sumptuous 
    images of flower-laden gardens where you really feel 
    you can almost smell the roses.

    There is a generous abundance of creative floral 
    arrangements to inspire and create at home. I think 
    this will be a book to sit on my coffee table where 
    I will delve into it for years, whenever I need an 
    utterly romantic, French-inspired floral pick-me-up!"
  

  

    - LUCY HUNTER,  landscape designer, author of The Flower Hunter
  

  
    "With her distinctive, award-winning botanical style, 
    and lifelong passion for France and the floral artistry 
    of Paris, Sandra Sigman is uniquely qualified to create 
    this gorgeous volume.

    Suffused with French flair and atmosphere, French 
    Blooms is a delectable floral feast of luscious 
    seasonal arrangements and stunning imagery, a book to 
    return to again and again for design reference, 
    lifestyle inspiration and practical information.

    Highly recommended for anyone who loves France, 
    flowers, and aspires to bring the beauty and romance 
    of Paris to their lives."
