Bringing Nature Home: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Nature

Having been a florist for 20 years and knowing my style very well, I can tend to be rather critical of floristry books. However , this book delivers on every level. First and foremost it is a beautiful book in its own right...it could take pride of place on the coffee table with ease. Secondly , artistically it is outstanding...inspiring and innovative but without trying to be too 'tricksy'. The flowers remain natural, wild and uncontrived......I love this book.

I bought three copies of this attractive book for my sisters-in-laws' birthdays. Each of them is an active garden club member who arranges for shows and for entertaining at home. Rave reviews! Sisters were most impressed with the use of flowers and greenery from an average yard to yield stunning and unusual floral arrangements. I am now buying a copy for myself on their recommendations.

I bought this book as an inspiration for some painting ideas. It is a stunning book that transports the heart and soul to beautiful calm places. It sits on a rustic bench in my family room always ready to be enjoyed. A wonderful book with truly beautiful photographs.

I love the content and the beautiful photography. The author gives wonderful ideas for flowers and other elements that can be taken from the outdoors. I appreciate the examples given at the end of the book with step by step instructions.

This is one of the most visually appealing books I've ever seen. Find myself picking it up often. I think both the author and photographer share a common sensibility that's at once both sophisticated and accessible. Really stunning.

This is a picture book only. Indeed a picture tells 1000 words, but I thought it would have more text information.

I love this photographer! Her settings are beautiful and the flowers are everyday arrangemnts that I can put together instead of exotic plants. Currently I have a obsession for Peonies and there is a delightful section about this bush.

Gorgeous book!

Es un buen libro con fotografías pero quizás algo caro para lo que ofrece.

L 'HO REGALATO A MIA SUOCERA PER IL SUO COMPLEANNO, L'HA GRADITO MOLTO, HA FOTO BELLISSIME, OFFRE OTTIMI SPUNTI

Stunning book. Full of great ideas!

This is a fantastic book - in fact as much for the photography and styling as for the ideas and its creative approach to using botanical displays in the home.Guided by what is available in each season, the book provides an array of inspired ideas - from delicate wildflower clusters to gloriously flambuoyant cascades of blooms, all showcased by the elegant styling of the images.Nicolette Owen's arrangements are superb - she puts together floral creations that are strikingly dramatic and yet at the same time appear so natural that they almost look gathered straight from a hedge. You don't have to copy her exactly to be able to replicate the feel of the arrangements here but there is enough practical direction in the book to provide ideas and a fresh approach to using seasonal flowers and plants creatively.

題名どおり、四季の美しい花々とその花を部屋に飾った写真集です。日本とはまた違ったアメリカの四季の花と、素敵な部屋にセンス良く生けた花の写真の連続。花屋で作ってもらうフラワーアレンジメントとは全く違う、あくまでもさりげなく（しかもセンス良く）花器に挿しただけのアレンジメントはとても真似できそうもありませんが、ゆったり眺める本としてオススメです。
