Decorating with Market Flowers

A sumptuously illustrated and easy‑to‑follow guide to beautifying your home with flower displays created from farmers’ market or even supermarket blooms

Decorating with Market Flowers is your go‑to resource for creating beautiful floral arrangements economically and with ease. Fresh flowers play an essential role in enhancing interior décor; incorporating them into your decorating scheme can add a lively touch for both special occasions and everyday enjoyment. Though countless books by professional floral designers showcase extravagant creations, these arrangements tend to be costly and difficult to replicate at home. This book focuses on flowers that are readily available and relatively inexpensive—easily purchased at local supermarkets, farmers’ markets, and roadside stands. The challenge is to elevate these ordinary blooms, and on every gloriously illustrated page of Decorating with Market Flowers, artist, designer, and inveterate thrifter Sean Scherer demonstrates how anyone can create florist‑quality displays, ranging from single‑stem minimalism to multi‑stem maximalism. The book guides you in mastering color selection, stem length, container choice, and seasonal décor, providing dozens of examples and step‑by‑step instructions for crafting striking floral displays. Merely by choosing a unique vase or container, for instance, you can elevate even common carnations or chrysanthemums from ordinary to extraordinary. Beautifully photographed, the book overflows with inspiring tips.
