In Flower Couture: From My Garden to My House, French tastemaker Cordelia de Castellane treats her private garden as a wellspring for year-round entertaining. Seasonal chapters—spring fizz of tulips and lilacs, summer’s blowsy roses, autumn seedheads and berries, winter greens lit by candlelight—show how to cut, condition, and compose arrangements that feel abundant yet spontaneous. Step-by-step photo sequences demystify her approach: mixing garden stalwarts with foraged branches, balancing scale to suit mantel, console, or table, and letting vessels—urns, jam jars, porcelain—shape mood. Beyond bouquets, de Castellane shares menus, linens, and tabletop ideas that connect indoor ritual to outdoor rhythm, turning lunches and fetes into extensions of the garden. Throughout, the book champions locality and intuition: grow what thrives, embrace imperfect stems, and design with scent, color, and silhouette in mind. Lush photography invites readers into a life where flowers are not occasional décor but a daily pleasure. For hosts, gardeners, and anyone who loves French art de vivre, this volume is a charming manual for weaving petals and place into joyful hospitality.
