Naturalistic Flowers: A Year of Plants, Places and People

AESME STUDIO offer a masterclass in designing naturalistic floral arrangements with a sense of place in a range of stunning settings, from the English countryside to Europe and beyond. Sisters Ally and Jess are the founders of leading London flower company AESME STUDIO and have created a unique naturalistic style that connects floral design back to nature. This, their first book, takes the reader on a journey through the seasons. The sisters visit twelve unique locations throughout the UK, Europe and beyond to gather flowers and create seasonal floral arrangements with a sense of place. Naturalistic floral design is about using local, wild and seasonal flowers to create beautiful, sustainable arrangements that are in harmony with their location. From English country houses to a garden in Provence, Jess and Ally have spent a year documenting their travels to provide a unique guide to how to create stunning – and often inexpensive – arrangements wherever you are. Each chapter tells the story of the sisters' discoveries along the way and explores a location through its regional flowers and scenery, offering plenty of ideas for styling flowers along with arrangement 'recipes' that show how each was designed and created. Whether you are interested in naturalistic floral design or just looking for tips and ideas to style flowers more sustainably at home, this journey through a year of floral arrangements will be a rich source of inspiration for anyone looking to decorate with seasonal flowers.
