Customer Reviews

Not really for the home flower arranger
Gorgeous, fairly traditional flower arrangements but most would be very expensive to copy: most, except for the small posy-type arrangements, use between 30-100 flowers plus foliage. Maybe a dozen (less than 15 per cent) had step-by-step explanations and photos. Not really for the home flower arranger. Worth borrowing from your library for the pleasure of the designs, though.
