Lasting Impressions. A Guide to Dried Floral Design Featuring More Than 50 Arrangements - Tennessee Jane

A far cry from the old shabby chic wreaths and bouquets, contemporary dried floral designs are often minimalist and striking, more natural home decor than floral design. At the forefront of this movement is Saint Maide''s Tennessee Jane, whose work Goop calls "stunningly unique." In this book, she offers expert instruction and easy-to-follow guides for more than fifty attractive, attainable, and affordable arrangements of every size and style.

Each chapter is designed to evoke a mood. In Calm, the natural texture and color of dried materials like grasses are put to beautiful use in spare, sculptural arrangements. In Bold, readers will experiment with funky forms and vibrant spray-painted pieces to create eye-catching installations. And in Festive, they''ll celebrate the holiday season with a cranberry-red tabletop arrangement, greenery-covered candlesticks, and a Spanish moss mini tree. Readers can re-create these projects using pre-dried material (readily available online and at local florists and craft stores) or dry their own fresh florals, using the simple methods outlined in the front of the book.

With hundreds of beautiful photographs and detailed DIY instruction, this book is at once a primer on contemporary dried floral design and an inspiration for readers to create their own exceptional arrangements.
