 wedding flowers February 14, 2010

I needed some help with my daughter's wedding flower arranging. This book was perfect!!! Clear instructions and great photos.
 Cheesy and Tacky July 10, 2009

Most of the designs depicted in this book are truly passé and tacky. There are multiple points wherein the author suggests using silk flowers. Do they even make those anymore?!?! The headpiece she shows looks like something that came out of the children's costume drawer. There is literally a square of craft tulle attached to the back! I could make something more elegant and believable without directions.
The author relies heavily on plastic and foam implements to construct her bouquets, and her shapes and flower choices are positively outdated. If you want your wedding to look like a low-budget 1960s throwback, go ahead and use this book.
On a positive note, there are good instructions for making boutonnieres, although I'd advise leaving out the old-fashioned baby's breath sprigs.
Another plus - you will have a good laugh at the bridal gowns the models are wearing. Wedding day at the FLDS compound!

I was completely happy with the book I recieved, however I was very unhappy with the sender. I ordered the book 05/15 and was suppose to recieve it by 06/09 (that's still too long to wait for a book); after sending emails to the sender I finally recieved the book 06/15!
Fit for a 60-year-old bride. June 8, 2009

This book was quite dissapointing. It was extremely old fashioned. Most of the bouquet techniques used in this book were discontinued by professional florists. And out of the 125 pages only 4 are dedicated to hand-tied bouquets. Everything else is basically foam bouquet holders.
Also, the flowers used are what was considered hip in the 70's. Lots of roses and carnations, lots and LOTS of baby's breath and fillers. The flower glossary of "popular wedding flowers" doesn't even include calla lilies or hydrangeas.
On the upside, it does contain detailed instructions.
A truly useful book April 6, 2008
Angela Traynor
If you are going to make your own wedding bouquets, corsages, etc,. this is a truly useful book. Most books hint at possible usefulness, but when you look at them, they really aren't. This has step by step instructions and they are clear. I think most other do it yourself wedding flower books are written by professional florists whose true purpose is to discourage people from making their own wedding flowers, not to help them. Another good book is: "Creating Beautiful Wedding Flowers: Gorgeous Ideas and 20 Step-by-step Projects for Your Big Day (Paperback) by Nancy Ursell and Antonia Swinson"
