Reviews / Votes
Shane Connolly is florist to royalty, politicians, statesmen and celebrities. Filling halls and dining rooms with sumptuous floral displays he has quite rightly earned his place in the top echelon of floristry. Here he shares his designs with the ordinary homeowner, offering simple bunches of sweetpeas, fruit platters and elaborate table centrepieces. Lusciously photographed by Jan Baldwin, the vibrant colours Shane chooses leap from the pages: shocking pinks, citric greens, tropical oranges along with burnished chestnut and ruby reds. Utilising fresh fruits, berries, twigs and leaves, he offers an inspirational range of beautiful arrangements with which to decorate your home and impress your guests. Whilst some photographs do not show the complete arrangement and his instructions can be rather lax, this is still a valuable addition to any home entertainer looking for innovative, novel and fresh ideas not found elsewhere. - Lucy WatsonMore details
