About the Book

This definitive guide presents the very best of Paula Pryke's innovative ideas for creating stunning floral displays. Where do Paula's ideas come from? In the opening section Paula shares her artistic vision and explains her use of colour, shape, and style to set the mood for any occasion. She also looks at the unique demands of fulfiling a client s brief or responding to seasonal restrictions. Over 80 arrangements are illustrated, each with instructions on how to re-create them. Sixty-five of these are covered in more detail with a personal commentary by Paula. Divided into two styles, Classic and Contemporary, these include arrangements that have become classics, as well as those that are at the cutting edge of flower artistry. Accompanying text explains what makes each arrangement unique. Using florist bouquets, cut garden flowers, and even vegetables, Paula's easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions allow anyone to create ingenious compositions that will add colour and style to the home. Comprehensive information on techniques is also included together with a gallery of Paula's favourite flowers, accompanied by advice on how they are best used, plus practical information on care and vase life.

Review :
Quotes on previous books by Paula Pryke: "... an impressive volume... a lovely book to own, enjoy, and refer to when inspiration is needed." The Flower Arranger "Paula's work is both spectacular and modest. She understands how to make something look grand and simple at the same time." Sir Terence Conran "... Paula Pryke has created a whole new aesthetic for flowers ... More art than craft, her inspired use of fruit and veg, creative eye for colour and clear, step-by-step instructions make this book the ultimate flower sourcebook." Elle Decoration
