The flowers are accompanied by templates for every shape used in the book, as well as instructions on how to display your creations to their full potential. Whether you want to make a gloriously blousy bouquet, a bejewelled cherry blossom branch or an impressive floral centrepiece, this book is sure to delight and inspire.

Suzi McLaughlin's passion for working with paper began at Falmouth Art College. The bold originality of her final degree show caught the attention of the Gardeners' World team, who commissioned her to create a life-size paper garden for BBC Gardeners' World Live Show, for which she was awarded an RHS gold medal. She has since created installations and bespoke items for Jo Malone's flagship London store, Harvey Nichols, Harrods, John Lewis and the magazines Elle and You and Your Wedding.
