If you are given a dozen red roses or a bunch of tulips, this book will show you a choice of stunningly original arrangements using them as a starting point. Each chapter celebrates a flower in turn, progressing from simple bunches and posies to large-scale displays that combine a range of different flowers and foliage. This beautiful book will be a source of inspiration and instruction to anyone who loves flowers and wants to discover new ways to arrange them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most artistic creative floral design book yet., July 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Flair with Flowers (Hardcover)

I have been reading and buying floral design books for years. Paula Pryke is the most creative imaginative artist I have ever seen in this field.

And she shares all of her creative ideas and techniques with the reader. If I pick up this book and start reading it I cannot put it down! I lent both of her books Flowers Flowers! and Flair with Flowers to a friend who said the same thing!

There is a flood of new floral decorating books out there and none of them can come close to these two books!

Just so you know this book is the exact same book as Flower innovations; Flair with flowers is just a newly published edition. You can confirm this by looking on the amazon site under product details of both books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning photograpy and creativity make this book a gem., July 11, 1999

This review is from: Flair with Flowers (Hardcover)

British florist Paula Pryke and photographer Kevin Summers have produced a stunning book of floral designs which is well worth owning. Amateur and professional floral designers alike will be charmed by the quality and variety of the photographs as well as the very readable and informative text. This book is a must-have for arrangers interested in new ideas.

The chapters center on specific flowers (e.g. orchids, gerbera daisies, roses) which is a unique approach.

The book would make a lovely coffee table book for those who just enjoy beautiful floral design photography. For those of us who take floral arranging seriously, it is an inspiration.
