  This authoritative guide to flower-arranging combines stylish and innovative design ideas with comprehensive coverage of an ever-popular subject and covers all the materials, techniques and information needed to produce creative flower arrangements. Every aspect of floral design is explained in detail and illustrated with special photography which brings a visually strong and practical approach to the subject. Step-by-step photography explains techniques, and gives the reader the necessary information to create floral designs of their own, rather than expecting the reader to slavishly follow the illustrated design. An illustrated plant directory gives some of the author's favourite flowers, plants and foliage that she uses for her floral displays, accompanied by notes on their symbolism and uses, to help the reader to produce their own creative and floral design.
