Living Colour

In Living Colour, Paula Pryke’s fine-tuned sense for wild and wonderful flower mixes – which has made her Britain’s leading colour florist at work today – is given free rein as she shows how to mix and match key floral palettes with exceptional skill.

Paula explores the impact flower colour has on our living spaces, and how we respond to its presence. In the chapter Inspired by Nature, she considers how colour and texture in the natural world can act as your guide, while in Seasonal Colour Palettes, we see how colour choices shift with the seasons. In Foliage Combinations she explains how foliage can tone down or raise the temperature of a display.

Strikingly photographed, Living Colour taps into the current trend for simple flower displays that appear effortlessly modern, while at the same time making a dramatic colour statement. It is both a rich sourcebook of ideas for working with colour, and an inspirational tool that enables the amateur florist to create displays with visual impact.
