 Bouquets:
A Year of Flowers for the Bride
The Bridal Bouquet is a tradition in almost every culture
on Earth, and in this exquisite book, floral designer Marsha Heckman
crates forty original bouquets to complement the wedding gown, communicate
a special meaning, honor a family tradition, and keep shaky hands
occupied. Organized seasonally, the book provides three or four bouquets
for every month of the year, each one exploiting the amazing variety
and diversity of flowers available throughout the year. From daises
with ivy for the August bride to mistletoe and roses for a Christmas
Eve bouquet; from hydrangeas with glass beads and tiny seashells for
a wedding by the sea to an Asian fan with amaranthus and chrysanthemum
for an autumn reception to a bouquet of fragrant herbs for July, these
unique designs are gorgeously photographed Each one is accompanied
by step-by-step directions for wiring and taping, choosing flowers,
leaves and ribbons, grooming the flowers, and making handles. An integral
part of the wedding, flowers provide beauty, perfume, and color. They
help define the theme of the event. Bridal bouquets live forever in
the wedding photographs and in the memories of all those who share
in the day. Bouquets will help every bride-to-be, mother, sister,
and friend recreate these bouquets or will inspire the florist to
fashion that perfect handful of flowers the bride carries down the
aisle. Here is the ideal engagement or shower gift for any prospective
bride. |
