The ultimate colour-by-colour flower reference guide - from New York's pre-eminent floral designers, Putnam and Putnam
Planning a wedding, a dinner, a birthday party, a romantic evening, holiday entertaining, or just arranging flowers for the pleasure of having them, more often than not your creative process begins with thinking about the colour of the flowers that you want. To help you find what you are looking for, Flower Colour Guide is the first reference book to organize flower types by colour, with an emphasis on seasonality and creative colour schemes - and the results are stunning in their sheer variety. What Pantone is to colour, Flower Colour Guide is to flowers.
Showcasing 400 flowers at their peak, with stunning photography taken by Putnam & Putnam in their Brooklyn studio, this guide includes an appendix featuring perforated pages, with tips on flower care, notes on how to prepare vessels and a list of suggested colour schemes. A great gift to give, or to have for oneself, the book speaks to the most seasoned flower enthusiasts as well as those just beginning to explore the possibilities of arranging flowers.
Michael and Darroch Putnam have built a reputation for romantic, dramatic floral arrangements and installations using colour as their guiding principle - here, they share their knowledge with readers worldwide: "This is the book we wished we had when we started doing flowers."

The first hours after receiving your flowers are critical, taking care of them promptly will reward you with longer lasting blooms. We have put together a step-by-step guide to help you enjoy longevity of your flowers.
Step One
Prepare a suitable clean vessel of fresh water.
Step Two
Unwrap your bouquet as soon as you receive and re-cut each stem, taking 1-2cm off to reopen the stem.
Step Three
Leave your bouquet tied and place into your prepared vessel. We have composed your piece of floral art just for you, no need to cut the stems loose!
Step Four
Keep your bouquet in a cool space inside your home, away from direct sunlight and heaters.
Step Five
Refresh the water and trip 1-2cm off each stem every second day, along with removing any faded blooms from the vessel as time passes.
