Beautiful Photos and a great guide! September 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my first book by Paula Pryke and I will buy others. She gives beautiful photos of each arrangement while giving you instructions on creating the design and the proper name of each flower and filler used. In addition to the names of all the flowers in each arrangement and the simple instructions she guides you as well on the best container for each arrangement. I was able to design a topiary for a bridal shower by following her guide on type of flowers and how to do everything from soaking the oasis, ordering the flowers and the best container. I like how she mixes colors and gives you help on what season the flowers are available. I will use this book for many occasions that call for fresh flowers! This book is filled with great ideas for wedding, outdoor entertaining, birthday centerpieces and Christmas table design - you'll love it if you love fresh flower arranging!
