There were [only] 3 centerpieces that I found to be "ok". Overall, this book was stodgy and unimaginative. The photos lacked charm. No disrespect to senior citizens, but the centerpieces reminded me of something an elderly woman would make. If you appreciate conventional methods of creativity, then this book is for you. But if you are looking for unique inspiration or some Preston Bailey~type action, don't waste your time buying this book. Check it out at the library. The End.

I found this book to be very easy to follow with great color picture samples. The instructions are easy to follow.
You will feel great once you complete the project and it actually looks like the picture!
Wonderfully well done!

The summary and review were not helpful at all and misleading. As a food service professional, I am always looking for new ideas for tablescapes for my banquet facility. The book was impractical and the centerpieces were uninspiring.

This was exactly what I needed. This book has some great ideas in it. Very beautiful.

As an interior designer I am always looking for ways to blend new design with the existing pieces that my clients' already own. Most of them have beautiful family heirlooms that they'd like to highlight in their homes. This book has many fresh ideas for bringing these treasures out to the table top which makes for a wonderful conversation piece. If you're looking for the "typical centerpiece" found at Pottery barn or Crate & Barrel, don't buy this book. However, if you want to be inspired with fresh design ideas to create "one of a kind" centerpieces - this is the book you'll love.
