With her brilliant sense of style, designer
and bestselling author Carolyne Roehm makes the case in Presentations
that there’s just as much pleasure in wrapping gifts as in
receiving them—and that beautiful packages guarantee
memorable celebrations.
For everyone who loved At Home with
Carolyne Roehm, one of America’s premier style-setters
now offers her ideas for creating breathtaking gift wrappings
using readily available paper, tags, rubber stamps, ribbons,
artificial flowers, and other inexpensive materials. Arranged
seasonally, and taking inspiration from Roehm’s love of nature,
travel and collecting, and fine art, the book focuses on holidays
as well as on ways to make children’s gifts look unique and
adorable. As Roehm shows, with creativity and care any present
can be made an exquisite offering.
More than two hundred dazzling photographs
provide inspiration, and a clear and detailed how-to section
gives readers the step-by-step tools they need to create beautiful
gifts. And for those who would like to create stunning packages
but have little time, the book also offers wonderfully distinctive—yet
simple—gift-bagging ideas. To coordinate with these
eye-popping wrappings, there are the author’s original theme-party
ideas and distinctive table settings.
With Carolyne Roehm’s advice, anyone can
elevate a special occasion to the realm of the unforgettable.
Trained as a fashion designer by Oscar
de la Renta, CAROLYNE ROEHM is known worldwide for
her style and impeccable taste. The author of At Home with
Carolyne Roehm, A Passion for Flowers, and the four-season
Notebook series, she lives in New York City, Connecticut,
and Colorado.
