Книги по флористики

В этой изумительно красивой книге Престон Бэйли, один из самых известных цветочных кутюрье и организаторов мероприятий, делится своей философией цветочного дизайна, ведет читателя через создание своих весьма оригинальных цветочных работ и рассказывает об их важной роли в оформлении и создании настроения мероприятия.

Впервые Бэйли обсуждает цвета и виды цветов, которые он любит, что вдохновляет его на определенные композиции, и как они работают в рамках объемной архитектуры каждого мероприятия.

На примере нескольких шикарных оформлений Бэйли описывает, как первоначально создается концепция для каждого события, начиная с цвета, который тесно связан с эмоциями, затем формы - свободной и органической или структурированной и симметричной. Он подчеркивает важность масштаба, показывая как крупные инсталляции задерживают наше внимание, а небольшие композиции раскрывают свой шарм с наступлением вечера. Он рассказывает о том, как он использует цветы при  обрамлении входа для приветствия гостей,  о деталях при выборе цветов, как для центральных композиций на столы, так и для крупных объектов. Бэйли также раскрывает роль, которую цветы играют при выборе освещения, а также декора комнаты в целом, в том числе о том, как кристаллы могут подчеркнуть красоту цветов.

В книге представлены работы в диапазоне от маленьких композиций и деталей, которые легко создать дома, до более сложных произведений искусства, которыми славится Престон Бэйли. Будь то захватывающая дух карусель, целиком сделанная из цветов, или совершенная орхидея, заправленная в салфетку гостя, это книга - о поиске удовольствия в цветах, и о том, как красота цветов улучшает не только яркое торжество, но и нашу жизнь в целом.

Богатая личными и профессиональными воспоминания, иногда анекдотичными и развлекательными, привлекательная как для любителя, так и для профессионала, книга Preston Bailey Flowers станет важным и незабываемым дополнением вашей коллекции флористических изданий.

Floral Masterpieces. The finest treasures of Pierre-Joseph Redouté

French flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon’s wife Josephine, he was dubbed “the Raphael of flowers,” and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.

This elegant catalogue brings together all engravings from Redouté’s illustrations of Roses and Choix des plus belles fleurs (Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers) and the most astounding images from The Lilies. Offering a vibrant overview of Redouté’s admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.

Entertaining should be a source of joy, not anxiety, especially in an age in which conspicuous luxury is no longer considered the height of sophistication.
Fusing understated European elegance with the dramatic Asian aesthetics of her Hong Kong home, Marie France Van Damme reveals the secrets of successful entertainment.

You don’t need to know how to cook – not even a little bit. You don’t need family silver, fancy china or an expensive venue. With just a little bit of effort and imagination – and a few very simple guidelines – even the most ordinary evening can become a memorable, magical occasion.

Chapters on Flowers, Candles, The Table, Food and Art – show how to create beautiful decorations, elegant food and exquisite ambience without unnecessary worry or expense.

Each chapter finishes with actual events – a winter birthday party; a lavish formal celebration; even an unconventional Christmas dinner on a deserted Thai beach. An informal afternoon tea with family becomes an elegant, comforting ritual.

Each of these events has been beautifully photographed by Herbert Ypma, the bestselling author behind the Hip Hotels series

Artist, collector, and entertaining guru Cathy Graham shares her secrets for gracious living and memorable get-togethers in Second Bloom.

Quentin Bacon’s photographs of a seaside gathering, a casual cocktail party, or a lively dinner in honor of a friend show how to achieve winning possibilities with ease. Approaching life with a sense of whimsy, Graham demonstrates how to arrange flowers and create original touches, such as hand-drawn one-of kind invitations or her practice of scattering collectable miniatures on her dinner tables. Filled with Graham’s charming sketches, Second Bloom shows how to create truly special occasions.

In Table Inspirations, Emily Chalmers shows how to select the right elements for adorning the table, such as china, linen and flowers.
