Description
Whether you harvest flowers from your own yard or source them from a local market, this comprehensive guide will help you create beautiful arrangements for every season.
Author and flower farmer Erin Benzakein introduces natural floral design, the practice of using local flowers and foliage to celebrate what’s in season, and the steps needed to build your own stunning seasonal arrangements. She begins by explaining how to get started, including setting up your space, vessels, mechanics and sourcing. She then breaks down the essential design elements for making your own centerpieces, vignettes, bridal bouquets, statement pieces and more.
The heart of this book is the four units separated by season in which Benzakein teaches how to assemble seven spectacular arrangements for each of the four seasons. A final A-Z ingredient guide explains the vase life, harvest time, special care instructions and details for all the ingredients used in the book.
Filled with color photos and step-by-step instructions, this is an excellent book for aspiring flower arrangers of all experience levels.
