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
lucy hunter author the flower hunter
"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."

- GEORGIANNA LANE, floral, garden & travel photographer, author
