Grandiflora Arrangements

Photographer: Gary Heery

Author: Saskia Havekes

According to Sydney florist Saskia Havekes, flowers are an essential part of our daily life. In this stunning compilation of over 100 arrangements, Saskia shows you how to bring the beauty of flowers into your own home, providing a wealth of ideas on choosing blooms, selecting vases, composing backdrops and designing your own superb floral creations.

Many of the masterpieces in Grandiflora Arrangements have been inspired by the reveries of friends and family; others are vintage Grandiflora, reflecting Saskia's lifelong passion for flowers and the skill and creativity of those who work alongside her in what has been described as Australia's most beautiful florist shop.

Richly illustrated with stunning photographs by Gary Heery, and utilising a range of locations, Grandiflora Arrangements is a celebration of flowers and the role they play in beautifying our homes and warming our hearts.

'In the early, early mornings I go off in my van to shop.  It's just me, the van and the sunrise, and the sky turning the colour of the flowers: rose-pink and sun-yellow, orange and red.'
