Charlotte
Moss encourages readers to bring the garden indoors--with ideas for
arranging flowers, selecting containers, and placing blossoms around the
house. An inviting cluster of blooms on a guest room's bedside table,
lavish floral displays for parties and holidays, single stems adding
life to any corner of a room--Moss has been photographing her flower
arrangements for over a decade. This book is a celebration of her
artistry and a testament to flowers as part of day-to-day life.
From
Moss's grander displays in the city to her more informal and breezy
creations at her home in the country, as well as in the refined
interiors of her clients, the visual result is a chronicle of the myriad
ways flowers provide inspiration--indoors and out. Readers will be
further motivated as Moss describes the contributions of past
tastemakers: Gloria Vanderbilt for her ingenious use of floral patterns
in her licensed products, Pauline de Rothschild for her fantastic
tablescapes, Bunny Mellon for her profusive use of topiaries, Constance
Spry for the use of inventive containers and for her groundbreaking
artistry, and Lady Bird Johnson for her embrace of the simple, exquisite
wildflower. With nature as her muse, Moss implores us to create the
backdrop for a life well lived, imbuing every day with flair, beauty,
and elegance.
