Art of Floral Arranging
Honestly reading this book and seeing the designs I do better arrangements and I've never taken a class not impressed by the books pictures or arrangements very generic.
Nice but thin
What little there is is very beautiful, but I somehow expected more. Pretty book though.
Wonderful Images
I love the flower arrangements in this book they are so classy and simple. Very easy for anyone to make.
Book was not useful at all to me
This book has pretty photographs but it was not what I was looking for. It shows designs by reknowned florists but has little in the way of substance. I don't want to make someone else's bouquets. I want to learn how to do it. I am also more interested in silk flowers, so that may be another reason that I am not a big fan. I want to learn the "Art of Flower Arranging" not how to copy someone else's designs that I don't much care for anyway.
Instructions for 7 arrangements, most requiring DOZENS of stems
This is a book, just as described in the other reviews, of step by step images and text for 7 arrangements. Only one of those involves fewer than a dozen (most are more than 2 dozen) stems. if you're looking for small arrangement help, there's probably a better choice (I am still looking for it).
The book is pretty, though.
