Fun and full of inspiration

This is a book that is fun to read and to look at. There are beautiful and amazing pictures of what you can do with everyday items around your house, or, with things you can purchase for very little money. At the same time, the book is full of great ideas to copy or get you started creating your own wild decorations next time you entertain. I can't wait to put water tubes with fresh flowers in my lawn this summer !!

A must have for party throwers

I can honestly say I have never read a book more informative, helpfull, and fun to read as Wild Flowers. After reading the book, my mind was filled with great ideas for my next special occasion. In my opinion this book is more helpful and creative then any "do it yourself" book or video I've ever had and believe me I've had a lot of them. Mr. Stark has an ingenious way of being creative and economical at the same time.

love this book!

Who knew what a florist cage was for? Or that you could make a fabulous centerpiece with a vase, some stickers and paper? An instant garden where there was none, whether in the middle of your lawn or the middle of your dining room table? These guys know how to do this and more, in a very fun and easy to follow format. All with a fun sense of humor. Run, don't walk to buy this book. I also hear they have kits you can buy with all you need to do one of the projects. I give this a big green thumb's up.

Oh, What fun it is to...

"Wild Flowers" is a rare gift, a book about the joy of possibilities. Leafing thru its pages will take you on a trip of wonder and transformation. Like the light in a child's eyes at first discovering something new, this book presents fresh options, a license to re-imagine the world around you and the objects it contains. And yes, it is a design book, a how-to book - it will allow you to easily follow directions to achieve a vision. It will give you tools to use, guidelines to follow and let you loose. It will be great fun whether the result is a product of the author's vision or one all your own. And if you never try to make a single thing you'll still get the joy of these beautiful pages.

a fun and colorful idea book

this book gives a fresh new look to decorating with (or without) flowers. it is smart, catchy and fun to look at. the use of everyday objects makes all of the projects tangible and less daunting. much more interesting and less fussy than martha stewart!
