Flowers That Wow!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flowers that Wow: Inspired Arrangements for the Floral-Impaired (Paperback)
I ordered this book because of the floral birthday cake design, made by Mr. Fong, that I saw online about 5 years ago. I am so glad I purchased it because it not only provided me with the instructions for that design but it gives many great and unusual design ideas with the instructions. I will refer to it when I need party ideas and designs for my floral design class projects.

Wow is RIGHT!,
By Vicki R. (Copperopolis, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flowers that Wow: Inspired Arrangements for the Floral-Impaired (Paperback)
This is truly a fantastic book! I made the Thanksgiving Turkey arrangement a couple of weeks ago and my friends are STILL talking about it! The instructions are easy to follow and the author has a great sense of humor. This book will make a great gift for anyone - in fact I've already purchased a second copy!
