Book Description

April 1, 2003
From a gorgeous bridal bouquet to fabulous table arrangements, flowers help make every wedding special. Now an award-winning florist shares more than 80 floral design “recipes” to suit any wedding style, location, or budget!

Wedding Flowers Made Simple is conveniently organized into three sections, each focusing on a particular floral theme. “Timeless Classics” highlights traditional wedding flowers like roses, orchids, and lilies. “Seasonal Flowers” features seasonal blooms (tulips, hyacinths) and other elements like grasses, mosses, berries, and fruits. And “Sweet Perfume” showcases flowers with heady fragrances, like lilacs, lavendar, and sweet peas. Themes are presented in a variety of settings, ranging from a country mansion to a sleek urban eatery.

Each set of designs centers on a stunning bridal bouquet and includes instructions for creating coordinating arrangements for attendants (boutonnieres, headdresses, and corsages), the ceremony (garlands, pew decorations, floor vases), and even for the reception (centerpieces, favors, napkin rings, and more).

Wedding Flowers Made Simple not only provides dozens of helpful hints for selecting flowers, designing arrangements, assembly, and construction, but also gives the couple-to-be, family, and friends a wealth of dazzling, inspirational designs—and professional know-how—for crafting the perfect floral arrangements for that very special day.

Very Disappointing September 20, 2005
By jancola
Format:Paperback
I got this book out of the library, along with "Bouquets: A Year of Flowers for the Bride" and the Knot book, and I would have to say, this was by far the least useful. For one thing, there was nothing simple about it-- the arrangements either involved mountains of flowers, or varieties of orchids I had never seen anywhere else, or arrangements that were closer to balancing acts. There is one picture that seemed to have literally hundreds of calla lillies around a doorway. Come on!

Compared to the Bouquets book, which offered a lot of variety and was pretty creative, this just seemed like a lot of lilies & orchids & roses, and compared to the Knot book, it wasn't as practical, cost effective, or even very descriptive. I am not a fan of the Knot website, but surprisingly, I found their flower book the most informative. I would recommend either book over this one.

The photography in the book was beautiful but the bouquets were not practical for most brides. I did like that flowers were identified with amounts needed.
