Stunningly photographed, the book is both a
rich sourcebook of fresh and stylish ideas and a highly practical guide enabling the
amateur to create dozens of artistic arrangements for every occasion. The multiplicity of
flowers available today offers almost limitless scope for flower arrangers. Part of the
book's novel approach is to encourage experimentation and innovation by showing how to mix
some of the less familiar flowers now appearing on the market, with the more typical.
How to create celebration arrangements for anniversaries, Christmas, the New Year, Easter,
Hallowe'en, Mother's Day, weddings, birthdays and house warmings. Which containers to
choose to complement arrangements: pottery, china, wood, basketry or metal, and how to
make unusual natural containers from vegetables and foliage. How to arrange flowers
according to particular color schemes, through the spectrum of reds, yellows and greens to
blues, whites and mixed combinations. Selecting floral themes, whether formal or informal,
period or modern, scented, edible or tropical. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step photographs
and an illustrated chapter on techniques show you how to achieve perfect results. A
comprehensive gazetteer acts as a reference guide to over 300 flowers. In Flowers,
Flowers!, the artistry and expertise of Paula Pryke's masterful flower arranging skills
are now accessible for the first time, to capture the imagination, teach and inspire.
