Good Basic, Traditional Design, How-To Book

From a bride who started by taking 2 years of design classes and creating her own bridal flowers to now a flourishing wedding floral business owner who creates custom wedding arrangements for brides all across the country, this book helped me get started. I review and purchase a lot of floral reference books for my design business, and when I started out, this was one of the better books I found on basic, traditional styles. The book is particularly helpful for the beginning designer as the clear photos and detailed, how-to steps are easy to follow. My only suggestion for improvement is to expand the book (or publish a second book) that lists advanced techniques and more contemporary, unique designs and florals/materials for the bride who desires something more unusual and creative. It's limited in the creativity it offers, but overall, it's one of the best BASIC books to reference and LEARN from. Good for beginners and floral students.

Wonderful Book.............Ü

A few weeks ago I got myself in a jam. I agreed to help a friend of mine out with her bridal parties flowers not knowing the first thing on making a simple flower arrangement. I searched and searched the internet for step by step books that could help me out on creating floral arrangements but everytime I read the reviews it turned out that the title of the book had nothing to do with what the book was all about. Finally I pulled up Terry L. Rye's book it was a lifesaver. It was just what I needed. This book gives you step by step instructions from how to create a bouquet to creating floral head pieces for your brides maids. It's wonderful; I recommend it to anyone who's looking into creating their own wedding flowers. This book is definitely worth buying you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic book!

This book is wonderful. It has four parts: flowers for the bride, flowers for the bridal party, flowers for the wedding party, and flowers for the ceremony & reception. Each part includes many sections. The book is loaded with photographs, very visual. It includes basic definitions. An items needed list that includes both descriptions and where you can find the items as well as photographs of the items so you can see what you need. It also has photographs of the primary flowers you are likely to use. Each section shows a list as well as photos of the items needed to make the arrangements in that section, step by step text and photo descriptions and alternatives at the end. I knew nothing about flowers and with this book in hand I think I can do my wedding flowers!

Best book yet

THIS was the book I needed! I was quite skeptical ordering a book online, especially having to tap into my wedding budget for it. But, I went by the reviews I read here and was very, very pleased when I opened it. This book is the best "how to" book available. Others just have nice pictures of the authors' ideas, but this one gives you step-by-step instructions and pictures for each step. It even tells you ALL of the tools you'll need and how many flowers you'll need to create the arrangements and bouquets. If you want to save money and decorate yourself, YOU MUST get this book!

Excellent Book

I bought this for my friend who decided to make her own bouquets for her wedding. This book has excellent step by step instructions with photos to match. Terry Rye does a wonderful job listing supplies and flowers needed for everything in the book. Also included is table arrangements, pieces for hair,cake tops, and decorations. Very clear and helpful-a must for any bride who wants to do it herself!
