Wedding Flowers

Description

In the Flowers for the Bride chapter, a range of traditional and contemporary bouquet styles is covered in a variety of colours from stately ivory to ultra-modern hot pink. Flowers for Bridesmaids includes floral balls, bags and swags that your attendants will love to carry. Buttonholes and Corsages range from classic to cutting-edge, while Flowers for the Reception includes ideas for decorating tables and chairs, embellishing the cake and making floral place names. The book ends with a Planning chapter including a flower checklist, ideas for colour schemes, tips on flower care, a flower directory and more. A flower-matching chart suggests winning combinations of elements from the book, for example a bride's bouquet, bridesmaid's posy and buttonholes. Wedding Flowers makes a creative springboard from which you can plan the look of your whole day.
