Customer Reviews

Great basic guide for brides!

I found this book useful in that it was simple, straight forward guide to the most common flowers used in weddings. The first half is essentially a glossary of flowers. It provides basic information that made it easy to compare flowers: photo, meaning, colors available, when in season, and price range. The book also provides information on bouquet styles, color schemes, and flower arrangments, but I found the single flower photos most educational. This book enabled me to have an intelligent conversation with my florist and narrow down which flowers I wanted for my wedding. I even took it along with me to discuss specific flowers with my florist. I plan to lend it to all my friends for their wedding planning!

Great book for DIYers or Florist too. Showed a variety of flowers and ways to assemble. GREAT BOOK!!!

Wedding Flower Books

I have been going through several wedding flower books and I find this one to be the best! They have realistic arrangments for people on a budget and they give a list at the back of the book as to what flowers are in season when. They also show several diffent greenery items you can use. It is great!

Very Helpful

I can already tell that this book is going to ensure a huge success at my friend's wedding. We are doing all of the flowers and the book has given us great ideas and lovely pictures. I compared it to other books and it seemed to have the most color pictures in it, which help when you are following the photos. Just like several of the other books by the Knot.com it is well organized and has great check lists and timelines.

Wonderful book and great photos - a must buy!

This book not only helped me select my wedding flowers, but I've lent it to two brides-to-be and got rave reviews. I even used it as a guide in creating bride and bridesmaid bouquets for my friend's recent wedding (I have to admit that I did have a bit of additional experience prior!). The book goes through each flower alphabetically and tells you when each is in season and their meanings. It also guides its reader by explaining each type of bouquet by shape and includes step by step instructions on how to create a centerpiece, bouquet and boutineer. I highly recommend this book to any bride or amateur floral designer.
