In conversation with Camille Vane, we dissect the discipline of unforced floral geometry, tracing heritage garden roses from Normandy growers directly to twilight reception tables across the Loire Valley.
Her studio rejects synthetic floral foams entirely, anchoring branching crabapple boughs with heavy brass kenzans to preserve structural movement, botanical longevity, and delicate natural fragrance throughout long evening banquets.
