4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent how-to information, but not too creative, January 18, 2002
By K. Hansen (Columbia, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Creative Wedding Florals You Can Make (Paperback)
The title of this book would lead one to believe that it gives how-to information for new, fresh, creative bouquets and arrangements. While the instructions are thorough and clearly written, the arrangements themselves are more traditional and "floristy" -- they use a lot of filler, and I think some of them look rather overdone.

The strength of this book is in the instructions. They are laid out step by step, with photographs of how to construct each arrangement. The book tells you exactly which tools you will need and how many flowers to buy. Even a beginner like myself would be able to create pretty good bouquets and arrangements with these directions.

I bought this book together with "Bouquets: A Year of Flowers for the Bride," which does have more creative ideas, but is weak on the instructional part. I recommend this combination of books to anyone like myself who is looking to make their own wedding flowers, but does not have experience in floral design. Both books have their weaknesses, but they complement each other and make up for each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book!, March 24, 2001
By V. N. Rowland "nikichem" (Gastonia, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Creative Wedding Florals You Can Make (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. It has four parts: flowers for the bride, flowers for the bridal party, flowers for the wedding party, and flowers for the ceremony & reception. Each part includes many sections. The book is loaded with photographs, very visual. It includes basic definitions. An items needed list that includes both descriptions and where you can find the items as well as photographs of the items so you can see what you need. It also has photographs of the primary flowers you are likely to use. Each section shows a list as well as photos of the items needed to make the arrangements in that section, step by step text and photo descriptions and alternatives at the end. I knew nothing about flowers and with this book in hand I think I can do my wedding flowers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book yet, March 14, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Wedding Florals You Can Make (Paperback)
THIS was the book I needed! I was quite skeptical ordering a book online, especially having to tap into my wedding budget for it. But, I went by the reviews I read here and was very, very pleased when I opened it. This book is the best "how to" book available. Others just have nice pictures of the authors' ideas, but this one gives you step-by-step instructions and pictures for each step. It even tells you ALL of the tools you'll need and how many flowers you'll need to create the arrangements and bouquets. If you want to save money and decorate yourself, YOU MUST get this book!
