Customer Reviews

An excellent, well-displayed book with detailed instructions
I borrowed this book from my local library and just had to have a copy. I have some knowledge of flower arranging but am by no means an expert. This book provided lots of lovely modern ideas and gave detailed instructions which will help the novice and more experienced alike. A variety of easily acquired accessories were used and details of these and the flowers used in the arrangements were given. In general, a welcome break from the more traditional arrangements.

clearly and beautifully described with instructions for making every arrangement
I loved this book. I also borrowed this book from my library and just had to have a copy.

About 50 different delightful, modern - and not too expensive - arrangements. Many of these were marked "easy" and a few each were "intermediate" or "hard. Each is explained with step by step pictures. As a novice (started about a year ago), I am eager to recreate at least half of them. That's a very high score for me as I'm quite fussy about decoration generally.

New to Contemporary Flower Arranging
I have some knowledge of flower arranging but more suited to Traditional Arranging but was interested to learn how to prepare Contemporary Flower Arrangements - I found this book to be very interesting and showed many useful instructions and tips on how to create some amazing displays.
