Flower Arranger's BibleThis book covers every aspect of flower arranging from simple displays of spring or wild flowers to arrangements of hothouse blooms for grand occasions. The author teamed up with a photographer to reveal the secrets of his skill through closely integrated text and pictures. He provides background information on the tools to use, how to choose and cut flowers and how to build up, stage by stage, elaborate arrangements for every kind of occasion - weddings, parties, Christmas, church festivals - with all kinds of flowers. With further chapters on dried and preserved flowers and foliage, decoration, exhibition and show work, this book is full of ideas and practical advice. |
