Customer Reviews

good for beginners
I like the idea of making silk floral arrangements for myself, friends and family. The only problem is that I'm not really good at coming up with ideas that actually look good. This book is great for me because it gives me ideas and is very specific on how to make the arrangements. Someone who knows what they are doing might find it too easy and some arrangements too old fashioned. For a beginner like me this is perfect and I can substitute flowers to fit my needs.

helpful
this book was very helpful. I have a flower business and I am always looking for new ideas, however this book was several years old and not up to date and I once thought.
