Flowers by Design: Creating Arrangements for Your Space

Description

Flowers are classic, timeless design elements that enliven your home and your life. Flower arrangements can act as an extension of your style and your tastes, complementing and accenting the aesthetic in your home. Ingrid Carozzi brought us beautiful arrangements in her first book, Handpicked, and is now offering even more tips and techniques to bring the joy of flowers into your space in new and fresh ways. Flowers by Design focuses on creating unique and beautiful floral arrangements that fit into and complement the overall look and feel of your home. More minimal tastes? There's a floral bouquet for that. Rustic chic? There's an arrangement for that. Planning an outdoor garden party? Of course, there are plenty of beautiful flowers to enhance the outdoors. Through her experience, Carozzi has developed an exceptional list of designers, influencers, and artists that she works with. Using their backgrounds and homes as inspiration, she provides a number of floral recipes that you can create at home. The contributors utilize their own spaces as the setting for seeing these arrangements in place, offering plenty of ideas for what you can do on your own.

Ingrid Carozzi is one of New York's most sought-after florists and the owner of the acclaimed Tin Can Studios in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Her work has been covered in publications such as Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, Design*Sponge, The Knot, and more. Carozzi lives in Brooklyn.

Ingrid is such an important figure in the flower world and this beautiful book does justice to her creativity and style."--Myra Perez, Creative Director of My Violet "To call Ingrid a florist is reductive. She is truly an artist whose medium is flowers. This beautiful book shows her work in all its glory-- creations that remind us of the ways flowers can amaze us, transport us and enrich our lives."--Katie Couric, journalist, producer, author, and founder of Katie Couric Media Far more than a floral guide, Flowers by Design is an enchanting journey into a world of unique and vibrant compositions that inspire and instruct the reader in creating their own floral works of art, suited perfectly to their own home and style.
