Customer Reviews

wedding flowers
I was looking for a book with instructions on how to make the wedding flowers. this book had good photography, but all the photos were of bridal bouquets. I could have worked with that, but there were no photo's of bridesmaids, groomsmens, mother of the bride flowers or of flowers to decorate with. If all you want to see are bridal bouquets than this is the book for you.

Wedding bouquets and boutonnieres
I've seen some of these pictures in other books. The book size is small, approximately 5.5 x 5.5 so the visual detail isn't very good. The book does describe the flowers used.

not what I expected
This book is small! I wish I had paid a little more attention to the reviews as i would not have gotten this book due to the size. The flowers are beautiful, but the pictures are flat, like they are lacking in a color, lacking in richness and depth. Do your self a favor and check it out from your local library. I don't know if the printing is defective or what. But the flowers themselves, the arrangements, etc are beautiful. This authors work is wonderful.
