Synopsis

Twenty fresh interpretations of classic, romantic, and alternative themes for wedding flowers are presented with 200 ravishing color photos and a wealth of stylish ideas for bouquets, baskets, headdresses, and table arrangements. Whether you marry in a church or in more informal surroundings, this book will guide you toward your ideal style: the classic elegance of a bouquet of white cyclamens and trailing eucalyptus; the romance of winter captured in an opulent floral muff; or the contemporary chic of a single perfect camellia. A wedding is, for most, the floral event of a lifetime; yet all too often, flowers are chosen and arranged with little thought given to individual style. Here, at last, is a book that recognizes the need for a fresh approach to wedding flowers.

About this title

About the Author:

Shane Connolly is the author of Table Flowers.

From Library Journal:

Since bringing us Table Flowers (LJ 9/15/96), British floral designer Connolly has tackled the art of wedding flowers. Again teaming with still-life photographer Baldwin, Connolly illustrates his text with 194 lush color photos of bouquets, headdresses, buttonholes, centerpieces, and other floral wedding decorations. Divided into chapters on Classic, Romantic, and Alternative styles, the book describes floral themes for the wedding party and the reception that range from fantasy to practical, from elaborate to minimalist. Throughout, Connolly offers practical suggestions for the wedding day and concludes with a two-page summary of tips. In addition to an index of terms, Connolly has included an index of the flowers, herbs, and other natural materials he used, by season, to simplify selection. A superb choice for anyone seeking original ideas for wedding flowers; for most public libraries.ACathy Sabol, Northern Virginia Community Coll., Herndon
