Gorgeous photography showcases each season's variety and diversity of flowers in creations from the simple to the elaborate: daisies with ivy for the August bride; a midsummer bundle of fragrant herbs; mistletoe and roses for a Christmas Eve wedding; hydrangeas with glass beads and tiny seashells for a beach ceremony; an Asian fan with amaranthus and chrysanthemum for an autumn reception. With detailed directions for choosing and grooming the flowers and leaves, wiring and taping, using ribbons and making handles, Bouquets enables every bride-to-be, mother, sister, and friend to re-create these designs -- or inspire the florist to fashion the perfect handful of flowers for that special day.
