Book Description
The wedding bouquet, like the center jewel in the engagement ring, is a focal point for the celebration. The bouquet’s colors, arrangement, and even fragrance, can express the mood and style of the ceremony, from the bridal gown and attendants’ attire to the décor of the reception room. How to decide? Each of the 300 bouquets displayed here comes with lavish close-up photos and careful descriptions of each detail, with recommendations for the kinds of dresses and ceremonies they best complement. Every color theme receives special treatment (with price range indicators), from whites, ivories and creams to yellows and oranges, reds and pinks, blues and purples, as well as variegated and original color schemes.
Book Description
With the help of this exquisite and instruction-filled guide, anyone can create gorgeous wedding arrangements with ease. It covers all the important points any designer must take into consideration: how to coordinate the flowers with the overall theme of the ceremony; where the arrangements will be needed, from personal boutonnieres to centerpieces at the reception; and how to work with a florist to get the blooms. Floral basics and how-tos range from important facts on color and composition to suggestions on bouquet shapes and their relation to the dresses. Most important are the various projects to duplicate exactly or use as a springboard, from lovely monochromatic themes to seasonal styles.

Great Ideas.......2007-09-10
I Have a Wedding floral Design business from my home and am always looking for great and fresh ideas I can share with my brides. The book has many great suggestions and photos.
The New Book of Wedding Flowers : Simple & Stylish Arrangements for the Creative Bride.......2005-09-30
The book has beautiful pictures and wonderful ideas. I wish it would identify all flowers and amounts used in the boquets.
I thought it might be more of an instructional book. It is a good reference.

Customer Reviews:
Lovely book!.......2006-07-23
This book is gorgeous and great for generating ideas for wedding bouquets. Highly recommended!
Beautiful Bouquets.......2006-07-07
The book is organized by color which makes it great for the bride who knows what color she wants. Good designs and many ideas for the bride to choose from.
Lush!.......2006-01-22
A gorgeously photographed book with a very clever "contents" page, this book is a must for anyone involved in weddings and/or floral design. Each bouquet is richly photographed and simply labelled. The Bride's Bouquet is an invaluable reference and resource.
Book Description
The bridal bouquet is a tradition in almost every culture on Earth. Year after year, millions of women walk down the aisle, each carrying a personalized blend of carefully selected, artfully assembled flowers. To ensure that one's bridal bouquet lives forever in the memories of all those who share the day, this exquisite book introduces 40 original arrangements to complement the wedding gown, celebrate a special theme, honor a treasured family custom-and keep shaky hands occupied.
Gorgeous photography showcases each season's variety and diversity of flowers in creations from the simple to the elaborate: daises with ivy for the June bride; a mid-summer bundle of fragrant herbs; mistletoe and roses for a Christmas Eve wedding; hydrangeas with glass beads and tiny sea shells for a seaside ceremony; an Asian fan with amaranthus and chrysanthemum for an autumn reception. With detailed directions for wiring, taping, using tools, and choosing and grooming flowers, leaves and ribbons, Bouquets enables every bride-to-be, mother, sister, and friend to recreate these designs-or inspire the florist to fashion the perfect handful of flowers for that special day.
Customer Reviews:
Nice pictures for your coffee table.......2007-03-04
This book was not as good as I expected. Some of the bouquets were creative, but worth the price of the book. I got more out of Better Home and Garden's Creative Collection "Simply Creative Wedding Flowers". This magazine was a thousand times better than this book in terms of getting creative and unique ideas for wedding flowers.
Very nice wedding flower book................2007-02-25
Finally, I have found a wedding flower book that gives you at least some ideas on how to make it yourself. Perhaps, the instructions could show more step by step pictures, but I think I can at least have an idea on how to make some boquets myself. So, I recommend this book. You might also want to find another beginner type arranging flowers book to go with this.
Great Book.......2006-03-13
This book gives you some great ideas on the kinds of flowers you may choose and gives you a good idea of how to put them together if you choose.
It worked for me!.......2006-03-01
This book is great! There is a lot of detailed information so that people with no official floral experience can recreate the arrangements.
You can take inspiration from the illustrations and tailor your arrangements for other colors, etc.
This book made the floral arrangements for my wedding affordable. We were able to buy our flowers from a local florist and arrange them ourselves and we probably decreased the cost of flowers by at least half. We received lots of compliments on the flowers at the wedding -- we didn't use a particular arrangement as our inspiration, but the information from all the various arrangements was sufficient for us to create our own beautiful bridal bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, and altar arrangements.
Poor content. Not for flowershop owners.......2005-09-16
If you are a flowershop owner and searching for a variety of fresh ideas for your clients this is not the appropiate book. It has a few nice photos but they are scarce. Definitely not worth it.

A princely story . . ........2000-07-05
Contemporary category romance novels hold no charm for me. I do NOT want to read about cowboys, babies and/or daddies. But a prince? Hmm. That'll get my attention, every time. I'd never heard of this author before reading this book, but I'll certainly remember her in the future. Prince or no prince.
In this instance, the Prince is Rand of Caldonia, and he is of an age to be married. His parents issue the standard ultimatum. Find yourself a bride, or we'll find one for you. He's investigated some of the current 'available's' only to be bored silly for a multitude of reasons. He needs help. If you want to find an eligible princess-quality person, where would you turn for such help? Why, to the person who is the foremost royalty-watcher in the world. She just happens to be Nicole, who is also a Caldonian, but for the past several years has lived and worked in New York as editor of Aristocrats, a colorful magazine devoted to royal-watching.
How can she resist the offer to help her country's prince find his Cinderella? She can't, and I imagine any of us so appealed to, could not, either. Rand is a pretty with-it prince, although the centuries-old family castle needs a lot of up-dating, especially in the technology area.
Through her sources at the magazine, Nicole finds lots of possible eligibles, but one by one they're eliminated from consideration, until finally -- well, you should read it for yourself. It's a very satisfying book on many levels. Extra fun if you're a royal watcher, yourself!
TRULY A SWEET, SEXY ROMANCE.......1999-09-20
I LOVED The Prince's Bride! It puts tabloid journalism and royalty together -- I mean, can you imagine a tabloid journalist MARRYING a prince? We all know they just follow them around with cameras, right? This is a hilarious idea -- but it truly works in the novel. I fell totally into the dream of marrying a prince and living in a castle -- especially a castle equipped with clawfoot bathtubs and laptop computers.
A fairy tale for modern times.......1999-09-04
If Cinderella had been written in modern times, taking into account today's tabloid press and their fervor to cover royal entanglements, THE PRINCE'S BRIDE would be the result.
Ms. Cozzens paints a vivid picture of life in the royal palace at Caldonia. She keeps readers cheering for the sexy Prince Rand and magazine maven Nicole Aldridge from page one right through to the end, and wondering, "will they or won't they?"
Romance fans will definitely classify THE PRINCE'S BRIDE a "keeper." I look forward to Ms. Cozzens' next book!
Wonderful entertainment!.......1999-09-03
I read this book practically in one sitting. I loved it! A lot of fun, especially if you're a die-hard romantic like me. How many women today grew up with fantasies of being swept off her feet by a prince? Probably most of us. "The Prince's Bride" shows the complications which can arise when a commoner falls under the spell of a prince. A true grown-up fairy tale.
Wow! What a great love story.......1999-09-03
I really enjoyed this book. It was truly romantic, unlike some "romances" I have read. The Prince and Nicole each had to reach deep down and make sacrifices for the one they loved, showing the depth of their feelings. It made me want to cry, but it also made me feel good.

Mixed Review.......2006-12-09
Lyn Stone-A Bouquet of Thistles- ***
This was an okay story with a decent plot. Alys was a great girl, and the hero, John, was honorable and handsome, (he was the best thing about this story). But I wouldn't have minded if someone had throttled Alys' bratty brother. The boy was just too vindictive for my taste.
Gail Ranstrom-Paying the Piper-**
A very predictable, boring tale. And I like this author! The hero, Anthony had great potential, his good looks, a war hero, and wealthy to boot, but the author somehow succeeded in making him a very boring guy.
Anne O'Brien- Battle-Torn Bride- *****
The Best of the lot. Great characters in war-torn 15th century England. Richard was the perfect hero and the love between him and Beatrice came through very well. The story, based on fact, held my interest to the last page.

Cute Little Book with Great Pictures.......2000-03-23
I was having a hard time finding books with bouquets. Out of all the books I looked at, this book had the best pictures and ideas. I like the fact that they tell you the names of each flower. It also tells you which flowers are in bloom for each season. I found it very helpful. A lot of info. in a very cute little book.
Excellent small complete show and tell of wedding flowers.......1999-07-21
I use this book with almost every bride who visits and have shared with persons who make Bridal Flowers in their homes. I cannot always remember what flower is in what season and give a good description, so I carry this tiny book with me. I think I need a second one for the library at home!
Cute little book with good descriptions and some ideas........1999-05-03
I was expecting a little bit bigger book with lots of ideas for bouquets for a wedding. There were some pages with pictures of flowers, their names, and what season they were available in. There is a little bit of advice on shopping for wedding flowers, but not much. I expected more from the editors of Bride's Magazine.
Save your $$.......1999-04-02
The book provides the names of about twenty flowers, many of the pictures are of the same type of flower in a different color or bouquet. I don't think the book was all that helpful.
Customer Reviews:
Good Supplement.......2005-10-05
This is a good general book for preschool setup. It tells how to set up a program and what aspects of the day are important to include for the developmental level of very young children. However, it is not really a curriculum per se, as it does not include lesson plans or even a great many of suggested learning activities. While it contains a lot of important and useful information, it needs to be accompanied by a book which has more detailed activities.
Our curriculum of choice!.......2003-08-06
This is the curriculum adopted by our school district for Infant/Toddler Early Intervention programs and Pre K VE.
Pleasing and Practical!.......1999-03-28
It is difficult to find a comprehensive curriculum guide for infants and toddlers- but here it is! This book is well-organized and easy-to-read. It begins with basic information on developmental issues specific to infants and toddlers. Then it moves on to practical information on how to create an optimal environment for infants, toddlers, and their families. Information is culturally-sensitive and developmentally appropriate. There are numerous sample forms and program plans that professionals can use as a guide in creating an infant/toddler program. There are also vignettes that allow the reader to see how the information can be applied. I highly recommend this book as a reference for the professional working with this population!
Product Description
