Foreword by Charlotte Moss and Preface by Charles McNair
This stunning book presents Sybil Sylvester's most effervescent and distinctive floral designs. Organized by season, Fresh’s exceptional floral designs include hydrangeas, muscari, baby green cherry tomatoes, and maidenhair fern wedged into gorgeous eggplants. Peppers, okra, and pinecones also often make their way into Sylvester's floral arrangements, evoking a woodland and sometimes earthy feel.
As a young girl, Sylvester always possessed a fascination with flowers, fairies, mushrooms, and mosses. Today, as a southern floral artist, she uses inventive ideas and fresh plants to illuminate her surroundings. Many of her plants come straight from her own garden, revealing a natural sense of connection that is evident throughout the pages. Arrangements are divided up by time of year, holiday, and type of occasion to make floral arranging easy even for a novice. Sylvester also includes a how-to section in which she empowers readers to create their own magic from the natural world. Glorious photographs, paired with step-by-step instructions and Sybil's own special brand of inspiration and helpful advice, demonstrate the relative ease in creating a number of delightful designs.
