- The second 'how to' volume from the former Chief of Floral Design at
the White House - Illustrated throughout in lavish color, and simple
step-by-step instructions Laura Dowling's Bouquets is the second title
in the inspiring how-to series and builds on the premise of her
successful first book Floral Diplomacy at the White House (2016): the
notion that flowers have the potential to change the way people think
and feel, creating powerful emotional connections - to nature, to
others, to our past and to our dreams. Her collection of bouquets
focuses on the positive emotions that bouquets - the most personal and
evocative form of floristry - can express. Organized by types of
emotions and feelings (e.g, tranquility, charm, nostalgia, romance,
drama, sophisticated chic, celebrations and dreams), each chapter
presents an array of bouquets and the special stories that inspired
them. These bouquets highlight a whole range of styles, techniques and
(seasonal) flowers for all settings and occasions. As always, Laura
provides expert insights and detailed guidelines to replicate her
fabulous bouquets at home.
