Belles Tulipes
My French Country Home Magazine features French Blooms author Sandra Sigman with instructions on how to make this romantic spring tulip floral arrangement.
“Spilling over from teaming buckets lined up against shop fronts, brightening up every balcony, or displayed askew at fruit and vegetable markets, flowers are a year‑round staple of the French lifestyle.”
“This bouquet, created by Sandra, uses tulips as the centerpiece in an ode to the Dutch master painters and their love of these particular flowers. Here, they are paired with a few sprigs of hellebore, white quince, and hyacinths.”
“Sandra’s first sojourn in Paris was only the beginning of her love affair with France. Upon her return to the USA, Sandra set up her own French style florist, Les Fleurs in Andover, Massachussetts, where she has honed her skills over the years, giving her a distinctively elegant and relaxed French style. And now, she has authored a book, French Blooms, showing how to achieve that effortlessly chic je ne sais quoi style in your own floral arrangements.”
