French Blooms: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Paris and Beyond by Sandra Sigman
Being released this coming Tuesday is a book full of not only beautiful inspiration for arranging your flowers inspired by Paris, but chapters full of details on choosing the right containers—from vintage stoneware crocks to baskets and white ceramic footed vases—and flower care and tools, along with lush photographs, many taken in Paris, Normandy, and Provence.
Described as “a love letter to France—from Parisian sophistication to the simple grace of provincial life” the award-winning floral designer and owner of Les Fleurs based in Massachusetts, Sandra Sigman learned while living in Paris in her twenties that the French consider each floral arrangement a unique work of art filled with passion, movement, texture, and surprise. She shares in her book “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.”
