Product Description
Every season calls for celebrations and gift-giving, and each occasion is personal and significant, from romantic events such as weddings and Valentine's day to Christmas and new-baby celebrations. In Festive Flowers the visionary floral artist Paula Pryke reveals her latest designs for marking these milestones with lush, beautiful flower arrangements.

Over 60 arrangements are presented in full color, including both close-up details of the design and evocative shots of floral decorations at actual events. These are not just table arrangements, but also wreaths, corsages, garlands, and hanging bouquets that can be custom made for homes, rented halls, churches, or an outdoor wedding. Twenty projects are presented in step-by-step format to allow anyone to re-create these designs, adding personal touches along the way. Paula also provides anecdotes, tips and hints gleaned from her wealth of experience as a leading florist.

Incorporating a wide range of elements such as seeds, fruit, candles, even jelly beans, Paula's novel ideas will always delight and surprise lucky recipients or guests. Festive Flowers will inspire decorators, brides-to-be, and party-givers of all types to new creativity with flowers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a book you will keep lookiing at for a long time!, July 24, 1999
By A Customer
I am presently taking a floral arranging class at the flower market in Los Angeles. We have been encouraged to get as many books as we can to show us the different designs possible. Without a doubt this book is the best I have seen. Absolutely beautiful and unique arrangements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful, December 10, 1999
By Sharon K. Chavez (Los Angeles, Ca.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first purchased this book while taking a course in floral design. The book was passed around the classroom with everyone doings ooooohs and aaaaahs. Even if you are not a floral designer, but simply a person who enjoys flowers or you want to have a spectacular looking party or wedding, this book is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!, October 16, 1999
This is a book for flower fanatics at all levels. The arrangements highlighted in this book range from contemporary and sleek to out and out exquisite. The photography is superb and the colors of the flowers jump off the page - you can almost smell the roses and lilies! I will definitely be looking at more of Paula Pryke's books.
