About this title

From the Publisher

What could be nicer than gathering a bouquet of flowers for a friend from your lovingly tended garden? Giving custom bouquets with meanings that perfectly express your sentiment! Bouquets of Blessing revives the lovely Victorian custom of creating messages of love and caring with the language of flowers. This gorgeous and novel book illustrates how to gather remembrance bouquets with flowers that stand for qualities of the recipient or have meaning for some event or circumstance. Some blooms say Let's celebrate, like the Congratulations bouquet, featuring gold-colored roses (absolute achievement) and Magnolia leaf (perseverance, sweetness, beauty ), garnished with other flowers with meanings that reinforce a salutary statement that won't soon be forgotten! The I am Praying For You bouquet centers around the Red Geranium, with it's meaning of comfort, health, and protection, surrounded by lavender (soothing), Zinnia (thoughts of an absent friend), and Thyme ( bravery, courage, strength). Special bouquets deliver the perfect message of celebration for a birthday, an engagement, a wedding, an anniversary or the birth of a new baby. Others offer encouragement for a friend or loved one going through a difficult time, or wishes of good health for someone who is ill. Each bouquet includes a list of flowers and their meanings, the core message of the bouquet, and poems and verses that embellish the sentiment. With exquisite original photography of styled bouquets, Bouquets of Blessings is an appealing, unique, and fascinating gift for women of all ages who love flowers and who want to be a blessing and encouragement to those they love.
