Defining Moniek Vanden Berghe as nothing but a 'floral artist' would undermine her multifacted talent. Trained as a sculptor, painter, ceramicist and graphic designer, Moniek found her true passion in the ephemeral floral art. Her intuitive feel for shapes, colors, contrast, textures and materials results in a highly personal, elegant and contemporary style of arranging. Renowned for her ground-breaking bridal designs, resulting in the highly appreciated Flowers in Love series, this monograph shows Moniek from a more personal perspective.

Moniek's strong artistic vision and skilful hands bring us a whole spectrum of floral designs, from subtle miniatures to large-scale extravaganza. Meticulously captured by photographer Kurt Dekeyzer, this monograph is both an authentic document and a beautiful art book of a highly personal signature.

Marcel Vrignaud is the founder and permanent professor of the Ikebana Floral Art Centre, an association he set up in 1966 after spending three and a half years in Nagoya (Japan), devoted to the specific art of Ikebana. Being a genuine pioneer in the art of Ohara, Marcel Vrignaud trained teachers all over Europe. My Ikebana offers an overview of his fantastic output. Readers can discover many original combinations of plants, gathered during different seasons, and displayed in the most unusual containers, reflecting all the categories of bouquets of the Ohara School: moribana, heika, landscapes, rimpa, bunjin, morimono, free style, ikebana sculpture, micro ikebana, transparencies etc.

For more than twenty-five years already, Marcel and Monique van Dijk share the same passion: creating atmosphere and experience with vegetal materials. Their company Oogenlust has rapidly turned into the Dutch reference when it comes to floral decoration. Every day more than twenty employees are on the move, both at home and abroad. First and foremost, nature remains their inexhaustible breeding ground. Sometimes a bare room is being transformed for a major event, some other time a historical property is being opulently decorated. But every time, the result breaks new ground. After Geert Pattyn and Gilles Pothier, the team of Stichting Kunstboek Publishers has invited Marcel van Dijk to bring forward his vision on floral interior decoration in a beautful publication. The result is stunning. The Oogenlust team loves a challenge and suceeds in creating a certain atmosphere with simple, but sometimes also more complex, interventions and surprising combinations of materials. Readers can enjoy this exuberant big work endlessly, but can just as well find many creative ideas for their home. It is a delicious coffee table book that will continue to inspire.

With the help of this exquisite and instruction-filled guide, anyone can create gorgeous wedding arrangements with ease. It covers all the important points any designer must take into consideration: how to coordinate the flowers with the overall theme of the ceremony; where the arrangements will be needed, from personal boutonnieres to centerpieces at the reception; and how to work with a florist to get the blooms. Floral basics and how-tos range from important facts on color and composition to suggestions on bouquet shapes and their relation to the dresses. Most important are the various projects to duplicate exactly or use as a springboard, from lovely monochromatic themes to seasonal styles.

Without a doubt, Gilles Pothier is the only French florist of world renown. In between demonstrations in all corners of the world, he works and lives in the heart of Paris. The most beautiful Parisian interiors are often the setting for his majestic floral compositions. Whether it is a luxurious salon, giving testimony of an ancient history, or minimalist spaces, Gilles Pothier creates his vegetal and floral compositions in perfect harmony with their surroundings. Every space is a new challenge to this artist, because architecture and design have always fascinated him. Working in prestigious interiors is no longer an assignment, but far more a reward. In this book Pothier does not only show us his true masterpieces of floral art, but also situates them in extraordinary settings that have never been shown to the public.

An essential book packed with exquisite photographs and amazing floral displays for planning every aspect of the wedding day and beyond, from London’s leading floral designer.

Preston Bailey's Design for Entertaining

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.
