Here, she shares her astute flower philosophy, including: - Over 30 of her favourite flowers and how to use them - Why some combinations work and others don't - How to select a base and blend colours for a flower arrangement The Flower Expert is a stunning celebration of Fleur's artistry and her ability to fuse modern and classic to create a style that suits each occasion.
