Flowers: Color Theory

For floral designers Darroch and Michael Putnam, floral design is like painting: flowers are the material and the color the message. The second work of these prodigies presents 175 superb compositions created from combinations of complementary, analogous or monochrome colours. Flowers: The Theory of Colors is both a source of inspiration and a practical guide that allows the reader to create their own incredible, original and fabulous flower arrangements. - Darroch and Michael Putnam founded their floral design agency, Putnam & Putnam, in 2014. They quickly became New York's hottest florists on the pages of magazines (Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Martha Stewart Living, Town & Country , W Magazine and Elle Decor), for fashion shows, installations, parties and weddings. They have notably collaborated with Bergdorf Goodman, Dior, Cartier, Gwyneth Paltrow, Grace Coddington and fashion designer Brandon Maxwell. Flowers: Color Theory follows the Guide to Flowers by Color published in 2019 - Putnam & Putnam has a worldwide presence with nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram, workshops and even an online platform, Putnam Flower Channel, which offers courses in floral decoration - On each double page, a stylized bar indicates the chromatic palette used in the composition - At the end of the book, a reminder of the basic theory of colors, a glossary, practical advice for making compositions ( tools and equipment in particular) and especially detachable labels to facilitate the purchase of flowers - An ideal work for florists
