Seasonal Flower Arranging
Seasonal Flower Arranging: Fill Your Home with Blooms, Branches, and Foraged Materials All Year Round | Ariella Chezar
2 posts | 2 read
This lavishly photographed book from renowned floral designer Ariella Chezar provides step-by-step instructions for 39 seasonal floral arrangements and projects that celebrate the splendor of flowers, the bounty of the changing seasons, and the wild beauty of nature in your home. Just as fruits and vegetables taste best when they are harvested locally and seasonally, flowers that are picked close to home and at their peak reflect a true connection to time and place. Nature does not deliver its harvest all at once--each season has its stars and Ariella Chezar, author of The Flower Workshop, shows you how to make the most of them. Seasonal Flower Arranging follows Mother Nature's lead to create dazzling arrangements from the distinctive gifts of the changing seasons, from a charming spring bouquet for Mother's Day to a bold garland for a summer wedding, and from a bounteous Thanksgiving table to a wintery holiday wreath. There are arrangements for seasonal holidays, special occasions, or just everyday life featuring tulips, roses, peonies, dahlias, and other flowers that are easily found at farmers' markets, local shops, or grown in your own backyard. The book includes detailed instructions on how to re-create 39 floral designs, plus the inspiration and techniques to allow you to create your own original art out of nature.

It's been a moment! Graduate school has taken up most of my time, this summer I've been taking a course on the literature of the 2nd wave feminist movement, in June I went to an amazing book conference/summer school in Antwerp, Belgium, where I studied & learned about women writers, printers & readers. And in the autumn I'll be writing my MA thesis, teaching undergraduates & taking my final MA classes while applying to PhD programmes. (cont. ⬇️)

Texreader Whoa!!!🤯 4mo
catebutler One thing that has kept me sane in between all the madness of my academic pursuits has been the spare moments to read for pleasure. Most of my personal reading has taken a big hit between research and required reading for school. 4mo
catebutler Today I felt the urge to post and wanted to document something else I‘ve loved this summer - fresh blooms. I picked up a beautiful bouquet from a local flower farm early this morning, before the heat of the day. Little things like arranging and scattering flowers around my home bring me so much joy, and supporting this small local farm makes my heart happy! 4mo

I am an avid lover of fresh blooms. I try to fill my apartment with a cheery bunch as often as possible & a fragrant bouquet, is the best gift & makes me smile with sheer delight. Because of this love for flora, I have several gardening & floral books residing on my bookshelves. I‘m so pleased to add this beauty to my collection. I‘ve had a quick flip through, it‘s stunning! I can‘t wait to take a quiet moment, to sit with a pot of tea & peruse.

Freespirit Do you have a big garden Cate? We own a 100 acre farm and I have about an acre around our house that is my “garden”. It is suffering badly from lack of rain😬 6y
