I did not recieve this book. The seller said amazon gave the wrong mailing address, but I recieved the other book on the same order. I am out the cost of my shipping and did not recieve my purchase.
The book is really helpful. It provides you basic information about flowers: names, colours, seasons, price, meaning…. After the first chapter of introduction to flowers, you will come to how to prepare your own wedding floral arrangement. (I am at this part so could not provide any further description about the book but overall I found all what I’ve read is very interesting and helpful).
The book comes with high quality images printed on high quality paper, so it’s very enjoyable. Reading the book doesnt require you to read chapters through chapters; you can just start/stop anywhere you like. It’s a good book for people who are interested in flowers and wedding floral arrangement. It’s also good to read just for leisure.
The first part of the book provides a list of favoured wedding flowers (with photos), and it gives a basic summary on their characteristics, seasonal availability and cost. The second part of the book contains a few DIY tips (not a lot) and a small gallery of centerpiece/bouquet designs, grouped by colors and themes.
The information in this book can be helpful for brides-to-be who are unfamiliar with the names of flowers, or what certain flowers look like. I personally think that the design examples are quite simple and unintimidating (ie. not flashy or over the top), and thus this book will be useful for brides who are looking for inspirations along those lines.
I recommend this book as a preliminary reference and it’s a good start before meeting with your florist to discuss wedding flowers.
I didn’t find this book very exciting. I looked through it and there’s really nothing in it that I can use. I was looking for ideas for my wedding bouquet and I really got NONE.
If you are looking for some floral tips and arrangement ideas, this book will help you with those ideas. However, if you are looking for an instructional book on how to make arrangements yourself, this book doesn’t give enough information on this. (Yes, there is a small section in the book about making them yourself–but does not tell you how to make certain ones shown in the book). I would like a more informational–how-to-make boquet book. I might just have to write one myself!
