Bouquets with Personality

Some flowers are team players, content to let their gently expressive hues and textures take a supporting role in an arrangement or bouquet. Others have a domineering, outgoing nature and always insist on being the center of attention. Recognizing flowersâ differing personalitiesâand blending the meek and the bold together in unusual, romantic, and harmonious waysâis at the heart of Lucinda Rooneyâs floral philosophy. 

 

In Bouquets with Personality, Rooney divulges her secrets: the materials and tools sheâs most fond of using, her design influences, her theory of color, and, most important, her insightful âpsychologyâ of the botanical realm. Itâs that in-depth understanding of how flowers and plants convey emotion that makes this book such an informative and inspirational resource for beginning flower-arrangers, seasoned professionals, and anyone who just loves flowers. The pages are graced, throughout, by Mick Halesâ lovely photos of both individual flowers and completed bouquets.
