Customer Reviews

A great book for beginners.
I can't put this book down! It is wonderful with sections for wedding bouquets,the corporate office, hand held arrangements,wreaths,sympathy flowers...everything. The glossy, colourful closeups and fresh flowers readily available make this a book I will always go back to for inspiration and techniques.The back section gives excellent instruction on weaving, plaiting, covered containers,painted flowers, and each design has a professional tip.In hardback, keep it on your coffee table and drool over it everytime you sit down.

Incredible!
A 'must have' book for all you florists. It's packed with loads of inspirational and innovative ideas that will keep you creative juices going for hours!

Rather pretentious designs of little practical value.
Regrettably all the designs are left totally in the shade by any number of modern Dutch and other European florists. However, it makes a passable if expensive coffee table book.Look elsewhere for inspiration!
