Flowers provide that special something that can take an event into the realms of the extraordinary, and internationally renowned florist Saskia Havekes has helped create some of the most spectacular celebrations from weddings, birthdays and Valentines Day gifts to fashion shows, gala dinners and the Logie Awards. In Grandiflora Celebrations you are invited to explore behind the scenes as we prepare arrangements in beautiful home and public spaces.
Photographer andrew Lehmann captures the unfolding story of each event as Saskia and her team display the creative vision that has won them such acclaim. We follow them as they visit growers, prepare blooms for display and produce installation on site.
There are over sixty arrangements to delight and spark the imagination, from floating wreaths and floral chandeliers to dressing tables and wedding concepts. These are living works of art that show Saskia's ingenuity knows no bounds.
Visually exciting, rich and evocative, Grandiflora Celebrations is a tribute to flowers and their pivotal role in special occasions. It is also a portrait of an artist at work and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into forty events captured over just eighteen months.
