Sensational Centerpiece

Floral designer Jane Packer is known for arrangements that are rooted in simplicity but never stiff or staid. She began her career with a small flower shop in London’s West End and eventually launched flower schools in New York, Tokyo, and London. For those not lucky enough to attend a four-week course in person, her book Jane Packer’s Guide to Flower Arranging is the next best thing. Divided into three parts (Flowers to Give, Flowers for the Home, and Flowers for Celebrations), the book covers everything you need to know to achieve professional-looking results, no matter the occasion.

Ingredients for the arrangement above:

Floral foam
Florists’ tape
6 stems pink lisianthus
2 giant pink proteas
7 smaller proteas
7 ornamental cabbage heads, dyed pink
10 stems gray brodiaea foliage
