Decorating with Flowers: A Stunning Ideas Book for all Occasions

356 Pages·2012·35.34 MB·English

by  Roberto Caballero

Under watchful eyes, passion flowers arranged by Jim Tan gleam in shot glasses near a
champagne service (page 143).
Cynthia Almario’s outdoor dining table, placed on a platform surrounded by water, and lit from
below at night, is a dramatic setting for equally bold green and white floral statements set amidst a
collection of green tableware (page 37).
An “out of the vase” ball of orange roses adds more novelty to Pico Soriano’s waterless
composition of yellow pom-pom balls and yellow calla lilies and stems (page 110).
Bountiful massing by Pico Soriano of roses, dendrobium orchids, Casablanca lilies, lime pom-
poms, anthuriums, ferns and cypress greens heralds the range of global flora available for the
new wave of creative floristry in the Philippines (page 109).
