Le Fleuriste

Part flower-arranging tutorial, part love letter to the French joie de vivre, French Blooms: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Paris and Beyond (Rizzoli, 2023) makes you want to hotfoot it to the nearest flower market—or board the next flight to France. Written by Sandra Sigman (pictured above), owner of Les Fleurs, an Andover, Massachusetts, floral, home, and garden shop, and beautifully photographed by the late Kindra Clineff, the book tells the story of how Sigman’s ice skating career blossomed into floral boutique ownership after a stint living in Paris. Sigman offers practical advice on flower arranging and choosing the right containers and supplies. The book ends with French floral “recipes” for various occasions, locations, and seasons. rizzoliusa.com
