"Get ready for a beauty overload. It's food for the soul, it's a book of dreams and details, of flowers so perfect you want to hug them to you, of photographs that remind you of the best day of your life in Paris. Her photography is exquisite. If you love Paris, flowers and femininity, you need Paris in Bloom."
-- "Carla Coulson, author of Paris Tango, Italian Joy, Chasing a Dream, and My French Life"

"I don't know how Georgianna does it. She manages to make Paris, already the most beautiful city in the world, appear even more charming, more elegant and more beautiful than it already is. When she says '...this book is my love letter to the French capital, an unapologetically romantic celebration of her abundant floral charms', I couldn't agree more. This is a love letter that must be opened and enjoyed and displayed on your desk or table, some place close at hand in order that you may return to it often. Paris in Bloom is filled with a veritable carpet of pinks and whites, pastels and green portraits that make me let out an audible sigh of joy. This book can re-inspire you to believe that yes, life really is quite beautiful."
-- "Doni Belau, Author of Paris Cocktails & Founder of Girls' Guide to Paris"

"It's an intimate look at Paris that most tourists won't have an opportunity to see. Keep it on your bedside table to spark magical dreams, or on your desk for when you need a breath of sweet spring in the midst of a weary workday."
-- "Romantic Homes"

If anything would make you want to visit Paris, walk the streets of one of the most romantic cities in the world and linger in its avenues, or sit outside its courtyards and sigh at the design of the grand palaces, then this is the book that will do it. Destined to become a classic of its type, Paris in Bloom is Georgianna Lane's love letter to Paris and to flowers.
-- "Gray Levett, Editor Nikon Owner magazine"
