Flowers can bring a room to life. Lynda Owen has created a variety of arrangements and displays that concentrate on associating flowers and foliage with unusual yet appropriate materials, in order to produce stylish and modern designs that can be used and adapted for every setting. There is guidance on the finest quality flowers and foliage and practical advice on proportion and colour. Step-by-step projects appear in every chapter, with flower-arranging techniques and equipment, and there are suggestions for unusual yet striking containers.

I borrowed this book from my local library and just had to have a copy. I have some knowledge of flower arranging but am by no means an expert. This book provided lots of lovely modern ideas and gave detailed instructions which will help the novice and more experienced alike. A variety of easily acquired accessories were used and details of these and the flowers used in the arrangements were given. In general, a welcome break from the more traditional arrangements.

I loved this book. I also borrowed this book from my library and just had to have a copy.
About 50 different delightful, modern - and not too expensive - arrangements. Many of these were marked "easy" and a few each were "intermediate" or "hard. Each is explained with step by step pictures. As a novice (started about a year ago), I am eager to recreate at least half of them. That's a very high score for me as I'm quite fussy about decoration generally.

Absolutely beautiful designs, very clear instuctions, not in the least bit pretentious & lots of designs that don't need vast amounts of flowers for a stunning look.
A must if you are into flower arranging books!
