Adrienne Ryser-florist and owner of L'Arrosoir, Paris's oldest flower shop-has florals in her blood: She grew up the daughter of horticulturists in California. After working at a high-end flower shop in West Hollywood, a chance romantic encounter led her to Paris in 2016. There, she fell in love again-this time with L'Arrosoir, a charming flower shop that had been a fixture of the 11th arrondissement for more than a century. Adrienne acquired the shop from its retiring owners and transformed it into one of the city's most sought-after florists, creating arrangements for highly visible events and celebrities as well as serving loyal neighborhood regulars. In her stunning debut book, studded with lush photography shot all over the City of Love, Adrienne shares her approach to flower arranging, combining her own whimsical influences with the more traditional French rules for flowers-as well as how and when to break them. In the style of a cookbook, with more than 50 bouquet "recipes," you can rely on clear, step-by-step instructions and explanations of techniques. From wild seasonal displays to monochromatic classics, minimalist bunches, dinner table centerpieces, and dried arrangements meant to last, Fleurs will inspire you to make flowers an essential part of your daily life-just as the French do.
