Stunning Artistic Flower Arrangements

As an Ikebana (Japanese Flower Arranging) student, I found this book absolutely stunning in its approach to flower arranging. Beautiful and creative arrangements anyone can enjoy. A great coffee table book or gift for those who love flowers.

Very Unique and Perfect for Tropical Weddings

I plan and coordinate destination weddings from Minnesota to anywhere in the tropics. This book has been a huge help for brides to articulate their style and preferences for personal flowers and centerpieces. I have even used some of the container ideas for local weddings.

Stunning and appealing

I bought this book off of the two other ladies reviews. I was looking for a book that someone like me-buys a handful of flowers then doesn't know how to arrange them-would use. If your creative this book will definitely get you salivating to try and recreate some of these arrangements. The arrangements are for the most part very simple and quietly appealing. If you are not fond of contemporary or modern this book probably isn't for you. The book is a different perspective to just a handful of flowers in a vase, it uses a variety of glass, metal and other containers all with tropical flowers. I'm going to go thumb through it again!

Tropical Colors

I own hundreds of books on all types of design. This book on design with tropical flowers is the absolute most beautiful I have. The ideas depicted in this book are very simple for the most part and easy to do. And yet, the designs create a spectacular effect.

Beautiful Flowers

This book is a feast for the eyes. I stumbled on this book in a bookstore and was just mesmerized by the pictures. Beautiful exotic flowers in vivrant colors are arranged artfully in creative settings. Photography is brilliant.
