Learn how the pros make flower arranging look easy
If you love flowers but can never figure out what to do with them, this is the book for you. Whether you prefer elaborate arrangements wired into perfection or would just like to be able to make a bunch of tulips stand up in a vase, Packer's beautifully illustrated book will show you the way.

The innovative use of dried flowers and unusual containers is also covered in some detail. Artichokes in a flower arrangement? Packer makes it work! And the proper use of the "tools of the trade" such as floral foam, wires, tapes, and cutters is explained in easy to understand terms.

Don't leave this one on the coffee table--use it!

Practical and Inspiring
It seems most floristry books are either helpful or pretty. Jane Packer has managed to combine both elements in Complete Guide To Flower Arranging, resulting in a practical reference book that doesn't just provide visual guides but includes practical tips and inspirational designs for new florists. An absolute must for those starting work with flowers and building a reference library.

less interesting than her "Fast flower arranging" book
I guess the "fast flower arranging'" book is really more worth buying than this one. You will find the same great tips but the arrangements will be more appealing than the ones shown in The complete guide to flower arranging.
