Synopsis | |
Too often, wedding details can be a source of stress instead of delight. But planning your flowers should be both a pleasure and an opportunity to express your personal style. All the information -- and inspiration -- you need is here. Start by creating a wedding flower plan detailing what you'd like for your ceremony and reception. You'll learn tips for deciding on a budget, working with florists, or finding the flowers you want on your own. Next, take a quick course in floral design basics, from color and composition to the various shapes of bouquets and their relation to dress style. Then, learn to create beautiful bridal arrangements, such as posies and nosegays for your wedding party, boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen, and halos for bridesmaids and flower girls. With the help of this exquisite and instruction-filled guide, anyone can create gorgeous wedding arrangements with ease. It covers all the important points any designer must take into consideration: how to coordinate the flowers with the overall theme of the ceremony; where the arrangements will be needed, from personal boutonnieres to centerpieces at the reception; and how to work with a florist to get the blooms. Floral basics and how-tos range from important facts on color and composition to suggestions on bouquet shapes and their relation to the dresses. Most important are the various projects to duplicate exactly or use as a springboard, from lovely monochromatic themes to seasonal styles. Great book for a creative people or Vo-Ag student to learn about wedding flower arrangements and bouquets. | |
