This is a great step-by-step book for those of us truely at the beginning of learning flower arranging. The pictures take you from flower to flower on how to place each one. The arrangements are very simple and unimaginative, but very easy to follow. There are great models for arranging in different kinds of vessels, some a litte too odd for me. (Like arranging in a soup ladle.) The biggest missing piece in this book is the preparation work necessary to make your arrangements look fresh for as long as possable.

This review is from: Joy of Flower Arrangement (Paperback)

This was the first book I purchased when I became interested in making floral arrangements. I had success from the beginning because the book contains very good step-by-step instructions with color photos. It contains instructions for several floral arangements, coursages, bouquets, weaths,etc. This is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning floral arranging. It is also a good resourse book for the experienced florist.
