paula pryke's posies

as my friends know, when i retire from interior design i want to open a flower shop. i will make lovely arrangements and give many of them away because it won't be about making money it will be about giving joy through flowers and plants. so whenever i find amazing florists i save them for future reference {and reverence}. paula pryke is definitely an amazing florist ~ she's considered one of the most influtential florists in the world and has published ten books. and she has a flower school. yes, that's right. someday i can travel to london and take classes at the flower house in islington.
until then, some inspiring arrangements will have to do:


and of course there are her many incredible books to read & learn from too:

Yes and she has shops in London, including one at Selfridge's. Simply astonishing arrangements of gorgeous flowers and her books are wonderfully photographed.
