Flori Cognoscenti: Stunning Market Bouquets

Q: What are your go-to design elements for a stunning market bouquet?

For our regular quarterly feature, “Flori Cognoscenti,” we asked Slow Flowers members to share their best Market Bouquets. We had so many wonderful submissions that space would not accommodate them all in the Summer 2023 issue of our e-zine “Slow Flowers Journal.”

Here is a bonus roundup of even more beautiful market bouquets — and thanks to those who grew the botanicals, gathered their designs, and shared their images!
