Florist Daniel Santamaria's Christmas decor and flower arrangements are unique. They combine unexpected colours and materials without losing the traditional twinkle or the festive spirit of the holiday season.

Scented centrepieces, evergreen wreaths, festive garlands, table pieces with a twist, glittering ornaments,...this book brims with extraordinary ideas to make the house bloom with holiday cheer. It is the perfect gift for the green-thumbed party host(ess) and an inspirational treasure trove for those who are passionate about the holiday season.

From the Back Cover:

Daniel Santamaria's kerstcreaties combineren onverwachte kleuren en eigenzinnige materialen tot unieke, feestelijke blikvangers. Ver weg van de over the top kerstkitsch creëert Santamaria een persoonlijk universum vol nieuwe, originele 'evergreens' voor de winterse feestdagen: sfeervolle tafelstukken, stoere ornamenten, bijzondere interieur-elementen en andere originele alternatieven voor de kerstboom. Santamaria ontwerpt zowel grootse spektakelstukken in gewaagde kleuren voor een strak, eigentijds interieur als meer tijdloze en romantische kerststukken in warme, natuurlijke tinten.
