Editorial Reviews

"I am so glad a book such as this has finally been published. It highlights the almost magical variety of endemic floral species and non-traditional materials in the Philippines today. Truly a collector's item and no library or home should be without one!" —Toni Parsons, acclaimed pioneer and innovator for floral design in the Philippines

"It's about time the world gets acquainted with the innovative and astonishing talent of the Filipino floral designers." —Richard Go, AIFD CFD FDA

"Decorating with Flowers is a treasure chest of beautiful settings, stunning photography, and outstanding floral decor…a wonderful orchestration by all-Filipino authors and floral artists!" —Phil Rulloda, AIFD, AAF, CFA, PFCI

"So much imagination goes into these floral decorations that some of it can't help but rub off onto the reader. That for me is what makes a good inspirational book. You will find yourself going back to this book again and again, each time discovering something new." —Sensible Gardening blog

From the Publisher

Creative director Caballero and Reyes (The Tropical House: Cutting Edge Design in the Philippines) showcase in 32 Philippine homes sophisticated floral designs created with a Western and Japanese influence by ten professional floral stylists. The authors explain the use of flowers in Philippine culture and the development of the floral industry; however, the highlights here are Tettoni's over 300 color photographs of floral arrangements that include many traditional flowers, such as mums, asparagus ferns, and gerberas. VERDICT Recommended for those interested in modern floral and interior design, the traditional use of flowers in Philippine culture, and the history of the country's floral industry.
