Summary: Not what you might expect~
Review: When I ordered this book I was hoping to find actual floral arrangement diagrams for a wedding, and while the book is nice, and the illustrations are pretty, they weren't very resourceful for someone who is looking to create they own floral arrangements. The content, instructions, etc. just are not there. If you want to look at some pretty pictures to get ideas for decorating, or to take to a seasoned florist, it may be useful, but this is not a how-to book. This book would be better suited to a person who is looking for new ideas, but who already has a background in floral arranging. To say the least I was very dissappointed.

Summary: What you see is not what you get
Review: When I started reading this book, I was really hoping that it would help me shave off some of the exorbitant costs associated with weddings by allowing me to make some of my own flower arrangements. While this is a beautiful book, I can't say that it does what the title says. True, it shows a really nice and easy to make headband wreath, but that was the extent of the knowledge I got from this book. The pictures, at best, give you some ideas about flower arrangements, but some are unclear and often it seems that the scenery and the people in the pictures are the subject, instead the flowers. In a how-to flower guide I would assume that the flowers should take center stage. Overall, I would give it a C+.
