Customer Reviews

A GREAT RESOURCE

EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THIS BOOK I SEE SOMETHING NEW. I HAD TO CHECK THIS BOOK OUT BECAUSE SOUTHERN ACCENTS MAGAZINE REVIEWED IT, AND RECOMMENDED IT. THEY WILL BE MISSED BECAUSE THEY DON'T APPLAUD EVERY ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OUT THERE. GREAT IDEAS, AND RECIPES. I FEEL THIS BOOK IS TIMELESS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT "OUT OF DATE"? THIS IS A BOOK YOU WILL COME BACK TO OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NOT JUST BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, GREAT RECIPES, BUT WONDERFUL IDEAS, FOR BOTH INSIDE, AND OUTSIDE. I'M KEEPING MY COPY, AND GIVING MORE FOR GIFTS. IF YOU LIKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS, AND ARE NOT INTO THAT MINIMALIST NOTHING ON THE TABLE LOOK, YOU WILL ADORE THIS BOOK. IT'S A GREAT RESOURCE. CHEERS!

Fabulous Parties

I dont get to buy many Party Books, but this one caught my eye immediately so I "went for it". Oh, I was so NOT disappointed. It is so, so beautiful. I am going to buy a couple more for my friends who love parties and flowers. I am also going to do some of those recipes which I feel will be great hits. While I might aspire to some of those fabulous flower arrangements, if I can't do them, that's okay.....the spirit is there and I am excited by the ideas. In short, it's a beautiful, helpful book.....I love it....and that luscious cover even makes my coffee table look very oooh la la.!!!! Thanks Peggy, Richard, Mark....whoever you are! signed sylvia dunbeck ps...can you do my next party for me???????

Fabulous Parties

I have given copies of Fabulous Parties to several friends as gifts, and they all loved them so much that they each went out and bought a couple copies to give as gifts themselves. It is a beautiful book that is nice enough for the coffee table, with great photos and fun to read. There are ideas for party themes, great receipes, floral tips, table settings and ideas on every page. Several friends are planning on using it for our upcoming Cinco de Mayo party. D. Schaffer

It's Beautiful!

Fabulous Parties is a lovely book. The food and flowers are creatively paired in visually stunning settings. I have shown the book to several of my friends and they all are as excited as I am. Aesthetically, the book is a work of art. The flowers themselves as well as the arrangements are amazing. I am looking forward with anticipation to trying several of the recipes. This book definitely gets two big thumbs up! Kellen Noah

A Work of Art

Fabulous Parties is indeed fabulous. The entire book is a work of art. I just love leafing through the pages and looking at the many beautiful images. This book is pretty enough to sit on my coffee table, yet practical enough to use as a reference guide for elegant entertaining. It shows how to create the appropriate theme for that special occasion. The creative and artfully done floral displays and table settings are inspiring. The floral and food combinations can each stand alone as a work of art; when put together, they are magnificent. The colorful images are presented alongside the appropriate menus to create the whole picture. I look forward to trying the many delectable, yet easy to follow, recipes. I can't wait to show my friends how special THEY are when they come to one of MY fabulous parties.
