THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC. PINK IS MY FAVORITE COLOR, SO I WAS SOLD ON THE COVER AND ORDERED IT BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED WHEN IT ARRIVED. I HAVE SEVERAL OF PAULA'S BOOKS, AND THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST. THE PHOTOS IN THE BOOK ARE OUTSTANDING. IF YOU LOVE THE ROMANTIC ENGLISH GARDEN LOOK, OR THE SIMPLE CONTEMPORAY STYLE YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING OF INTREST. SIMPLE ARRANGEMENTS, LARGE TABLE CENTERPIECES, WEDDINGS, CHILDRENS PARTYS, AFTERNOON TEAS, AND DINNER PARTIES ARE JUST A FEW OF THE DESIGNS SHOWN. PAULA ALSO GOES INTO DETAIL ON TECHNIQUES WHICH INCLUDE HAND TIED BOUQUETS, CONTAINER DECORATING AND AIDS TO ARRANGING FLOWERS. THE FLOWER DIRECTORY IS REMARKABLE. SHE BREAKS DOWN THE SHADES OF PINK INTO THREE CATEGORIES, PASTEL PINK, BRIGHT PINKS AND MIXED PINKS. EACH FLOWER HAS A PHOTO AND DISCRIPTION AS TO AVAILABILTY, HOW LONG IT WILL LAST, AND OTHER FLOWERS IT WORKS WELL WITH. THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO IS INTRESTED IN FLORAL DESIGN. IF YOU HAVE NEVER PURCHASED ONE OF PAULA PRYKE'S BOOKS I SUGGEST THIS BE YOUR FIRST. IF YOU ARE A PAULA PRYKE COLLECTOR, THIS IS A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. AFTER READING THIS BOOK YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO WAIT TO CREATE YOUR OWN ARRANGEMENT.
