I like to think that I dare to be different with flowers here, I don't mind oversized, I don't mind monochrome, but when I look at what Jeff Leatham, star florist and florist to the stars, gets up to at the George V in Paris, I can only stare and wonder. I think I'd stay there just for his arrangements! Sometimes he even arranges the blooms upside down!
Do you see how there are whole bunches of roses and - maybe - carnations balanced at a precarious angle so they are almost falling out of the oversize vases - If I tried that, the whole thing would tip for sure, and I'd have water, flowers , the lot all over the floor.
How luxurious this suite must feel with it's own topiary at the open window.
Love the very Parisian feel to the room.
Acid green viburnum and white arum - I need these flowers ... now!
More dangerous angles!
Their famous courtyard restaurant could hardly have a more
sumptuous yet uncrowded feel to it. A lesson in design.
I love that there are people with this much talent.

ReplyDeleteDearest Sharon,
ReplyDeleteYou mention Jeff Leathal but it's Leatham... but he IS almost 'Lethal' in his flower-arranging-art!
What a feast for the eye, flowers are the most stunning things to look at, especially when brought inside gorgeous looking rooms.
Have a wonderful start of the spring and a great week!

Oh. Let's meet in that courtyard for lunch.
ReplyDeleteCan Edward come too?
Absolutely beautiful and original. Will be sure to visit this hotel next time I go to Paris.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBonjour Sharon,
ReplyDeleteJeff's floral art is amazing. I'm like you, I would have a major catastrophe with some of the designs, but he is the master. I try to slip in for tea whenever I have a free hour - instant relaxation.
Hope your week is off to a good start,
Mimi
Having been lucky enough to stay there about 2 years ago...I can tell you all I did do was stare and take pictures of them...I was in total awe..and of the fact that they got changed like every two days.....they were just beyond beautiful, looked like they were on major growth hormones as they were so tall, full and huge!! A true thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteLove George V and have never forgotten the flowers there!

Absolutely fabulous! I love his arrangements. If you love unique flower arrangements, check out my post "Bouquets to Art," an event held every year at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. The talent this year was beyond imagination!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteI was born in the wrong social class! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo perfectly lovely!
I'm ready for a weekend in Paris! The flowers at the George V amaze and inspire me. But my humble bouquet of tulips is pretty nice, too!
