helpful wreath book

I have this book and the ideas are quite helpful. the steps are easy to follow and can be done with just about any material you can find. the designs are beautiful. i would recomend this book to any floral designer.

Beautiful Book

I picked up this book to see if I would be able to make some wreaths for my home. Having never done it before, it is very encouraging to see the instructions photographed and clearly written in this book. The wreaths are absolutely gorgeous and detailed, and I loved seeing the different types. Being a beginner, I also appreciated the listings of all the flowers and supplies needed for each wreath, which are included in the descriptions. I'm buying it for my daughter, Emily, who has made some nice wreaths on her own. I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about making something beautiful for their home.
