Quick, easy to make, sophisticated, and elegant, these 40 silk flower arrangements are well suited to today's busy home decorator. The basics of designing that are illustrated and presented here will soon have the arranger making creative leaps in styling. Put the new, more lifelike silk flowers in treasured tiny vases; go "simply exotic" with Chinese-red blossoms and a single bold leaf; or make an everlasting, never fading bride's bouquet. Show off a bucket of tall blossoms, artfully arranged to look as if you've just carried them in from the garden. Hang a unique sylvan wall sconce, with leafy greenery, ferns, and berries, and a grapevine nest hidden amid the flowers. Designer tips and project variations expand the decorating possibilities.

15+ year professional designer enjoyed this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I purchased this for my mom for her birthday, along with a few other arranging books. I have done this for the last few years. This book, in particular, explained reasons for certain style elements she'd never heard. She is a 15+ year professional designer who regularly attends professional seminars on modern style & emerging trends. I can't say that I have an opinion on the book, but as a gift, this book earned kudos by the designer that no past books have earned.
