[.uk] Festive Flowers (ISBN 0847825035)

This is a book you will keep lookiing at for a long time!:
I am presently taking a floral arranging class at the flower market in Los Angeles. We have been encouraged to get as many books as we can to show us the different designs possible. Without a doubt this book is the best I have seen. Absolutely beautiful and unique arrangements.

Absolutely Beautiful:
I first purchased this book while taking a course in floral design. The book was passed around the classroom with everyone doings ooooohs and aaaaahs. Even if you are not a floral designer, but simply a person who enjoys flowers or you want to have a spectacular looking party or wedding, this book is for you!

Breathtaking!:
This is a book for flower fanatics at all levels. The arrangements highlighted in this book range from contemporary and sleek to out and out exquisite. The photography is superb and the colors of the flowers jump off the page - you can almost smell the roses and lilies! I will definitely be looking at more of Paula Pryke's books.

Beautiful creative ideas!:
This book is packed with gorgeous, lush photos of creative floral arrangements. Absolutely beautiful, unique ideas with easily understood directions and pointers. A great buy!

Flowers for Special Occasions:
This book by Paula Pryke is full of useful ways with flowers from the garden, markets etc. to use for specific occasions. It is good reference material and basic ideas altho less inspiring than others I have. The reason I downgrade it is the quality of the soft cover version I have, and a big disappointment, that has been reprinted off too many times on lesser quality paper and the photos are very grainy in appearance. Being the owner of two other of Paula's books of top quality material, this one does not rate with them. Wish I had ordered the hardcopy (mind you dont know what the paper is like in that one either).
