Bring the beauty and healing power of flowers into your home with this combination floral-arranging guide and lookbook chronicling the work of more than 20 top floral designers whose floralscapes grace the annual Flower House Mexico event

Each year at the end of January, talented floral designers from around the world gather in Mexico to decorate rooms for the Flower House Mexico public art event and floral showhouse.

For the first-ever Flower House book, author and Flower House founder Pili Fuentes presents the work of these talented designers and their flower-room creations, along with floral arranging instruction. The flowers and techniques used to create each dramatic floral installation are presented in detail, along with expert advice for choosing flowers, extending bloom life, and using non-floral materials (ceramics, textiles, candles, and more) to enhance arrangements and create atmosphere. The symbolism and importance of flowers in Mexican cultural and spiritual life are woven throughout the text and the gorgeous photos by Corbin Gurkin.
