Synopsis

Whether it’s a simple bouquet in the kitchen or a vase with a single rose on the bedside table, flowers always add warmth and color to any home. Bursting with vivid photos and charming hand-drawn illustrations by author Diane Wagner, this newest Victoria volume ushers readers into the wonderful world of flowers. Arranged by season, from the new blooms of spring to winter blossoms, it takes the mystery out of flower selection and arranging. An introduction covers hardy, delicate, garden, and other florals and foliage, as well as palettes and basics like bows and wiring. More than 30 projects provide challenges at all skill levels: there are even wedding arrangements for the most experienced! Make a fall-themed door swag and topiary; fill a country jug with summer roses; and create a festive Christmas tabletop centerpiece. Bouquets, boutonnieres, mini flowerpots, pomanders, and wreaths will entice would-be arrangers all year round!

Reviews

Flowers can add to your decor with color, texture, and aroma, and the perfect floral arrangement can be a stunning touch for dinner parties, holidays, or simply celebrating the season. Wagner makes these arrangements more attainable and much less daunting. She starts by covering the different types of flowers and accents that lend themselves well to various types of arrangements as well as going over supplies and basic techniques and tools. Her descriptions and explanations are clear and useful even before she launches into the detailed how-to instructions for the different arrangements she features in her projects section. The arrangements themselves run the gamut from simple and delicate (Mother’s Day bouquets), to whimsical and fun (“Family Supper”), to downright classy (“To My Valentine”).  Garden or flower aficionados should be able to find something to their taste. --Tina Coleman
