Breath taking!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful book! Jeff designs are painfully beautiful! Simple, understated elegance! As an Interior Designer and flowers being one of my passions I can appreciate how he complements the space with the flowers, vases, light etc. He totally understands the design concept: size, scale, proportion, harmony, balance and rhythm. Always respecting the architectural elements of the space and integrating the art pieces (when offered) to create a composition. I am humble and inspired by his talent!

Floral Design for Spacious and Gracious Living

I had the good fortune of working with Jeff personally, and I own this book. I love his idea of decorating the space as opposed to just decorating a vase, and putting it on a table. Most Floral designers just think too small!Jeff only uses the most beautiful flowers and displays them in a way, that they not only are most beautiful, but can be most appreciated. The flowers are not "shoved up-side down in a vase" they are placed carefully and willingly. Jeff has the upmost respect for flowers, more than most people who call themselves floral designers, that shove hundreds of flowers all together in a vase in a contrived matter and call it beautiful. If you want to know what's really going on in floral design you better pay attention to this book and his other books. Jeff is admired by the most prestigious and forward, and successful floral designers and floral event companies in the world. As a Professional Floral Designer myself of over 25 years, I know sometimes we think we know everything about what we do. But, sometimes something new comes along and blows us out of the water, and this is what Jeff Leatham has done, in America and Europe! Hope to see you again sometime in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Paris Jeff! Christina
