It was not as impressive as I expected. It did give wow factor for first looking at it but after look several times, it gives a feel just put A LOT OF flowers together.

This book is full of magnificent photography. Pages and pages of really over-the-top and exciting party photos. The only downside? Some of the displays may be too garish and excessive for my taste. All in all, it is well worth getting and a nice addition to my collection of entertaining and party planning books.

This is a delightful, inspirational book. Add to your library if you enjoy doing events as I do! It has become one of my favorites...

As the title says, I was quite disappointed. The only thing that was impressive was pretty much the centerpiece on the cover. Not to bad mouth the book too much, there were some very nice pieces inside the book. I do agree with one of the reviewers however, saying the quality of some of the photos were absolutely horrible! I get a headache looking at some of them! Some photos were too harsh on the eyes and it seemed like the editor decided to try too hard doing his job and enhanced the contrast of the photos. Then there were some arrangements in a couple of ballrooms that made it seemed like Mr. Sibal was high on something. One of the events looked like a jungle had exploded and no one stayed around to clean it up! Save your money on another book!

If you love Preston Bailey, you will love this book as well. This is an amazing book with beautiful pictures. Yes the parties and arrangements are more than most people could ever afford; however, it is a great book for inspiration. If you are a visually inspired person, you will spend hours looking at this one.

An Event to Remember? I was very disapointed in the photography! They are not clear and sharp most things in the book look washed out!. Any photo of a large room Mr. Sibal decorated looks aufull, you cant even tell what the flowers are in the centerpices. To much reflection on all the glasses at each table setting.
