A Master Guide to the Art of Floral Design is a fresh new approach to an ancient art, one in which the flower itself is the ultimate teacher of color, form, composition, and every other aspect of design. Exquisite photography and illustrations combine with thoughtful, clear text to reveal the grace of flowers first pictured alone in nature, and then beautifully arranged in designs reflecting both contemporary and more traditional styles. Great ideas abound, from arrangements to suit casual everyday home decor to stunning examples perfect for intimate entertaining or the most lavish wedding, and the authors offer useful information on the practical details of creating arrangements.
