BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS,
By
This review is from: Arranging Flowers (Best of Martha Stewart Living Series) (Paperback)
This is the most amazing book about flower arrangements and I am so happy that I finally found it.The ideas about the various flower arrangements for every season are fantastic and imaginative, and the pictures delightful. Apart from the pictures, this excellent book provides detailed instructions on how to create these stunning arrangements, what materials to use, what kind of vases to choose for each arrangement, and how to best combine all the flowers. However, this is much more than a book about arranging bouquets. It gives excellent tips for salvaging damaged flowers and about preserving even the most fragile flowers like poppies. In addition, it provides very helpful information about planting flowers in the garden, so that we can have beautiful flowers to decorate our homes for every season. It also has wonderful pictures of Martha Stewart's gardens and houses, which provide great decoration ideas. In total, an amazing book about flowers and how to use them to beautify any house, that although was written in 1999, is still very modern and useful.

BEAUTIFUL AND PRACTICAL!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arranging Flowers (Best of Martha Stewart Living Series) (Paperback)
This is an extremely beautiful book with plenty of gorgeous photos of terrific flower arrangements. But a lot of books fit that description. What sets this one head and shoulders above the rest is the practical, well-written and easy-to-follow text. Martha has divided the book into four sections, following the four seasons--and she gives us gorgeous arrangements for each. Besides telling us HOW to arrange the flowers, Martha also gives us tips on what flowers mix well with what and how to care for them. For example, I never knew that daffodils are best used alone since they give off a substance that is toxic to other flowers. As a woman, as a homemaker and as a gardener, I just loved this book. It's written so we can actually use it, rather than just being one of those glossy books done by interior decorators that you look at once, sigh over then close. This practical and beautiful book is gorgeously photographed and written in Martha's lovely, intimate style. The best book on flower arranging ever! A must for anyone who loves flowers or has a garden!

By S. Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arranging Flowers (Best of Martha Stewart Living Series) (Paperback)
I was amazed at the creativity of the arrangements! I've been doing this for a while, and it still astounded me. There are great combinations of flowers, as well as florist techniques that aren't difficult at all. Elegant and classy.

Excellent resource,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arranging Flowers (Best of Martha Stewart Living Series) (Paperback)
I just finished a professional floral design course - much of what I learned in school I reviewed upon reading Martha's book. I could have saved a lot of money by just reading this book! Some information conflicted with what I had learned but all in all this is a great reference for anyone who loves flowers and arranging them. Lots of basic information everyone should know.
