Jane Packer believes that all great arrangements and bouquets begin with an understanding of their surroundings and, most importantly, the natural tendencies of the flowers themselves. From a tumbling cascade of stunning yellow tulips and daffodils to the Japanese-style simplicity of a single bloom, from a bowl of anemones in a country kitchen to a soft, spilling array of ranunculus and maidenhair ferns to add a feminine touch to a starkly simple office, Jane Packer's designs show the texture, color, and form of flowers to their best advantage. And she offers practical advice on selecting foliage to accompany your blooms, choosing containers that suit the flowers (or vice versa) as well as countless suggestions for displaying flowers in every room of your home, decorating with flowers for parties and special occasions, or giving them as gifts. Highly original, a joy to use. Celebrating With Flowers is

Jane Packer runs her own floral design business in London's West End. Flowers first became her passion when she was a schoolgirl. The "natural look" is an integral part of her style and when she began her own business she quickly attracted a faithful clientele. The culmination of her career to date came in early 1986 when she was commissioned by Sarah Ferguson to create the flowers for her wedding to Prince Andrew. Vissza
