The Flower Recipe Book | Alethea Harampolis | Jill Rizzo
Flower arranging has never been more straightforward or more enticing. So the women behind Studio Choo, the hottest floral design studio in the country, have created a flower-arranging bible for today's aesthetic. Filled with an array of stunning, easy-to-find flowers, it features 400 photos, more than 40 step-by-step instructions, and valuable tips.
The arrangements run the gamut of styles and techniques: some are wild, some are structured, some are time-intensive, and some are astonishingly simple. Each one is paired with a "flower recipe"; ingredient lists specify the type and quantity of blooms needed; clear instructions detail each step; and hundreds of photos show how to place every stem.
Readers will learn how to work with a single variety of flowers to significant effect and to create vases overflowing with layered blooms. To top it off, the book is packed with ideas for unexpected vessels, seasonal buying guides, a source directory, a flower care primer, and all the design techniques readers need to know.
Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo are the founders of Studio Choo, a San Francisco-based floral design studio that serves fresh, wild, and sophisticated flower arrangements for any occasion. Their work has been featured in publications such as Sunset, Food & Wine, Veranda and the blog Design*Sponge.
