Jeffrey Leatham and the Four Seasons George V and its flowers have been bound together. Their story cannot be separated, even though Jeff  is now artistic director for the George V. By the way, in that capacity,  Jeff  oversaw the design for the interior of the  hotel’s Rolls Royce Phantom  limousine.

“Art is a window into your soul, what you think

about, what you like, what you want to be. It

causes you to look at the world differently.”

Unknown Writer

These words, quoted  in Jeff’s book, “Flowers by Jeff Leatham,” certainly reflect the emotional impact of Jeff’s floral artistry on guests.

Working with roughly 15,000 flowers every week, Jeff and his team of 7 assistants transform the hotel from season to season, palette to palette.

At night, literally hundreds of candles are magically lit and scattered among vases throughout the hotel.

Such imagination. Submerged purple orchids. Angled long stemmed roses. Hydrangeas preening for the guests. Every kind of flower in every imaginable design.

If you can’t visit the Four Season’s Georges V,  scroll through Jeff’s book,  Flowers by Jeff Leatham, and be mesmerized by the exquisite photography and a few inside tips.

Hmmm. Did you ever try putting roses in sparkling water? Looks like sparkling diamonds to me! Every page inspires memories of our stay and will lure you to the Georges V.

 

 NOTE

Jeff’s monochromatic  style has become his signature. He has worked with countless celebrities, including Madonna, Oprah,  Cher and  Tina Turner, to name just a few. Jeff handled the floral design for Eva Longoria and Tony Parker’s lavish wedding in 2007 and recently oversaw a reputed $250,000 budget for Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. Mum’s the word from Jeff, though. My information  came strictly from outside sources!
