The Flower Workshop: Lessons in Arranging Blooms, Branches, Fruits...
by Ariella Chezar
Luminous photographs of brilliantly colored blossoms brighten the pages of this introduction to contemporary floral arrangements. Designer Ariella Chezar walks you through how to choose the right flowers -- whether you're purchasing or foraging -- as well as how to select the necessary tools, containers, and styling techniques to achieve the effect you want. Whether you're interested in making huge banquet bouquets, tiny nosegays, or anything in between, The Flower Workshop "offers beauty and inspiration to flower arrangers at most levels of skill" (Booklist). For a similarly modern but more visually oriented floral arrangement guide, try Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo's The Flower Recipe Book.
