Wild Florals

This stunning project book highlights flowers with a wilder appeal that can transform arrangements into something beautifully unruly.

A heartfelt guide to a floral mindset shift, Wild Florals embraces a new kind of botanical beauty that emphasizes the amazing variations in nature in lieu of a perfect flower. The botanical textures and colors of wild florals are more than just the next trend in floristry; they are the earth’s ingenious method of inviting life and rebuilding itself.

It’s time to rethink the beautiful arrangement as one which mirrors the patterns of nature and the ebbs and flows of life and death, rather than a particular aesthetic. Elizabeth Brown introduces 30 beautifully unruly plants including aster, fleabane, sneezeweed, yarrow, echinacea, and more, celebrating flowers that have been overlooked by other floral design books. With gardening tips for growing native plants in the cutting garden, seasonal arrangements that integrate local flora, and floral crafting projects for every season, Wild Florals teaches us how to love the wilder parts of nature, and the truer part of ourselves.
