  A practical guide to designing and making dried flower arrangements to complement the interior decoration of any home. The first half of the book concentrates on general but essential know-how: how to choose flowers, how to dry them or what to look for when purchasing them, how to design an arrangement for a particular setting, how to avoid the all-too-common dead look, how to adapt a style to a particular container, the importance of good lighting, how to make the arrangement and how to know when to stop, how long arrangements last and how to look after them. The second part describes, step-by-step, exactly how different arrangements have been designed and made for different interiors - all specially commissioned for the book - which vary widely in style, from the grand and sophisticated, elegant and refined, to the simple, country-like and homely.
