Life in Bloom - Graeme Corbett - diskuze

Fill your life with flowers. Graeme Corbett of Bloom & Burn isn''t your usual florist. Working from his studio in Kent, he uses locally-grown flowers to create wild, loose arrangements with a modern feel. In Life in Bloom, he teaches you everything you need to know about arranging flowers at home – including which rules to follow, and which ones to break in a bid to find your own style. Inviting you into his studio and garden, Graeme takes you through the seasons by way of his favourite flowers. Discover narcissi and ranunculus in spring; peonies and poppies in summer; dahlias and phlox in autumn; and dried honesty and forced bulbs in winter. Graeme will give advice on growing, choosing varieties, sourcing and conditioning each focal flower before teaching stunning arrangements. Play with colour, form and texture, and gain the confidence to go bigger with your arrangements. By the end of this book, you''ll know how to design with bowls and mossages, create bouquets and make stunning designs in all sorts of vessels, and you''ll pick up a bounty of tips to push your style to the next level. By using simple mechanical techniques and encouraging creativity and flair, Graeme shows that it’s possible to create dramatic arrangements at home – bringing style and joy to your tablescapes, special occasions and everyday life. Life in Bloom is a generous and beautiful book for anyone wanting to learn more about growing, gathering and arranging flowers.
