Media Reviews
Society florist Malcolm Hillier offers inspirational arrangements for all levels of flower-arranging skill in this attractively illustrated book from Dorling Kindersley. Why just place a bunch of flowers in a vase when, with a little extra time and effort, you can create a floral masterpiece with artfully put together flowers for that wow factor, ensuring memorable displays for every room of the house. Also included are dinner centrepieces, welcoming wreaths, dried flowers and edible petals, all clearly explained by this master florist. And covering all tastes from contemporary to classical, he encourages the reader to try his exciting, innovative displays sumptuously photographed by Stephen Hayward: vibrant tropical cocktails, lush jungle jamborees, cottage garden concoctions and chic floral collaborations all promise stunning displays for your home. Concluding with an in-depth, fully illustrated guide to required tools and techniques, this book is an eye-opener to flower arranging, far removed from the usual stuffy works on the subject. After reading this, looking at a bunch of daffodils will never be the same again.. - Lucy Watson
