The day has finally arrived, dear friends! My floral-themed love letter to the most beautiful city in the world, Paris in Bloom, has been released and is available worldwide! It’s already been spotted in bookstores from Chicago to London to Paris. Words truly cannot express what this day means to me and how incredible it is to share it with you! You’ve been with me from the beginning! And many, many of you pre-ordered the book and have received it early, or are receiving it today. We can all pour the bubbly and celebrate together!
And due to your support, Paris in Bloom is an Amazon #1 Bestseller in the Flower category! My heartfelt thanks to each of you! A book like this is never the work of one person and I’ve had the most fabulous team that I owe endless gratitude to including my amazing agent, Kate Woodrow, my publisher Abrams Books, my editor Camaren Subhiyah, designer Darilyn Carnes and the entire team at Abrams who produced the book and distributed it internationally. Special mention, as you all know, goes to my family and to David, who has been by my side the entire time, providing support, advice and assistance every day.
We held a magical pre-launch event at a stunning Paris Perfect apartment under the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower. Here are some images from the festivities that I hope help you feel as if you were there!
Thank you for joining us and all you’ve done to make this an unforgettable day!
love,
G

Oh Georgianna, how ridiculously wonderful! Your launch looks like it was so impossibly pretty! Am sending you the biggest congratulations from my little corner of the world. I did check my favourite bookshop last weekend, just in case they had it early ;) but will definitely be heading back on Saturday to have another look – then you can add Sydney to your list. xox
Hello, dear Natasha!
Thank you so very much for this. It means a great deal to me!!! :)
The launch was so magical! It might look effortless but we were busting it here for days beforehand. I barely got my make up on in time and never did get my shoes on! lol.
I do hope you are well. I think of you often and send wishes for happiness to you. You are always an inspiration.
xoxo

Thank you so much, Daryl! Very much appreciated! Hoping you have spring weather now! x G
How exciting and wonderful ! How fun the pre launch event must have been ! I’m so happy for you and I hope you can do more books in the future. It must be a lot of work I’m sure, but your photos are always a joy to look at and it’s no surprise it’s a #1 bestseller in it’s category !
Your portrait in the beautiful dress is stunning ! Wow !
You can be sure I’ll have my own copy of your book on my coffee table and I’ll show it to everybody who will visit ! :)
Congratulations Georgianna and have a wonderful week !
Thank you so much, dear Jocelyne! I’m glad you enjoyed the photos and hope you feel a bit like you were there with us! I know you were in spirit. Wishing you a beautiful weekend and merci beaucoup encore for being here. xxx
Dear Georgianna,
Thank you so, so much for this marvelous release party.
It was the most exquisite, graceful and tasteful event.
All the best international success to you!
PS: Loved your comment about your dream team!
Merci beaucoup, Jacques!! It was so wonderful to have you there for this special evening! Thank you for coming!
Feel so happy for you Georgianna, and David of course. You make such a great couple :-)
I’m excited to receive my ordered book very soon. Unfortunately the delivery is very slow here in Denmark!
Wish you a big congratulations and success with your new book. Lovely pictures from the release. Love from Pernille
Belated thanks, Pernille! I so appreciate your friendship and enthusiasm for the book and am very happy you’ve received it now!!
Have a wonderful Sunday! Love, G
Hi Georgianna, I have just connected to you via Sharon’s blog. Love the book and will be ordering here in Australia. I live on the mid north coast NSW with no book shops so I will try Amazon. This is amazing tantalising timing as we head back to France for May with the last week again in Paris. Hope to see some spring blooms.
Cheers
Lorraine
Australia
Hello, Lorraine!
Thank you so much for writing and for your interest in my book. Many of my Australian friends are ordering from Book Depository which has free shipping worldwide. I’m sure they can get it to you well in time for your trip, which sounds amazing!
The early blooming cherries and magnolias will be finished by May but there will be roses and peonies and flowering chestnut trees.
Wishing you a wonderful journey.
Very best,
Georgianna
Oh Georgianna – this wonderful day could not have happened to a more wonderful person!! Your SC family is so proud of you and happy for both you and David!!! What a joy to see the book #1 on Amazon as we have followed it since the release there!!! What makes it so special is that you are the most humble and sweet person in the world!! Sending you love from all of us here in Beaufort!!! t.
Thank you so much, dear T! And how exciting that you are following along on Amazon! Means so much to me! It’s been quite a whirlwind! Sending much love to all of you, too! xx

P.S. I’ve sent you an e-mail just a few minutes ago, I hope you’ll receive it, it’s harder more and more to get in touch through mails, alas ! I wonder why …
Looks like a fabulous party ! I would love an invitation to the next one …:) I love my giant flower photos on my wall more and more each day and can’t wait to get a copy of your book! Paris and flowers …what could be any better?
