Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The owners of the popular Parisian floral-design shop Milles Feuilles, Pierre Brinon and Philippe Landri, have a love of flowers that is inseparable from their passion for interior decoration. They peppered their shop with antiques, linens, and objets and covered every available surface with gorgeous flower arrangements. Then they decided to celebrate the shop's 10th anniversary by sharing the secrets of their floral wizardry in the form of this luscious volume, which they have filled with enchanting creations. The rich photographs do justice to the designs, showcasing not only the arrangements but their well-chosen backdrops as well. And they provide more than merely visual evidence of their artistry; the two also discuss the composition principles behind each arrangement (including how to choose the perfect container) and explain the specifics of how to achieve the look, though they do presume a readership with some prior flower-arranging experience. Taking a seasonal approach, Brinon and Landri demonstrate what can be accomplished at each time of the year, from a romantic spring bouquet of lilacs and peonies or a summer centerpiece of enameled jugs filled with sunflowers, cornflowers, and santolina to a fall cluster of berries, rosehips, and dahlias, or a winter posy of dried hydrangeas topped with velvety white roses. A truly extraordinary presentation. --Amy Handy
